Desert Biome Released!

New interstellar spacescape to exlore!

New creatures to prey upon!

New spacebehemoth bosses to battle!

Ahoy, space-huntsman! Today's update, the biggest update since our Early Access launch earlier this month, includes the brand new Desert biome! You'll find insect-like critters skittering this dusty spacescape. Beware of Queen Verminess's slicing pincers and Adaea the Weaver's lethal stream of webs! Good luck out there, huntsman, you'll need it. ;)
