Hey folks, we've been up to our knees over here at Effort Games in bugfixes and patches. Here's the list of all the improvements we've made to Stardust Frontier, including some SUPER IMPORTANT performance fixes for iOS. We've been taking in as much feedback as we can regarding the minigames, encounter difficulty, and balancing, and we've made changes to hopefully make the game progression feel a lot more fair. If you gave the game a try on release, please give it another go now and give us your feedback on our Discord!
Good luck out there in the Stardust Frontier!
