This patch fixes the following issues:

• General fix for Steam overlay activation properly pausing the game. Activating the Steam overlay would in some cases not pause the game for up to 2 seconds. This is no longer an issue.

Astro Impact:

• Occasional crashes late in the game (wave 8 and onwards) due to improper handling of particle effects, causing memory overload. Particle effects are now properly handled—so you can keep blasting asteroids without interruptions!

Brick Smash:

• The ball getting stuck bouncing between the edges of the screen or paddle for too long. Instead of waiting for 6 hits to change the angle ("unstuck" the ball), the ball will now adjust after just 3 edge/paddle hits—making the gameplay faster. You can still use the boost function at any time to get "unstuck," but if you don't want to, it happens faster now.

Get ready for NinjaThea 2, a classic 2D platformer where you help Thea, a small yet fearless ninja girl, reclaim her stolen diamonds and fruits! The critters are back for revenge, and only Thea can stop them.

Try out the demo and whishlist it:

This patch fixes a bug where usernames longer than 20 characters would cause the leaderboard text to break, disrupting the display.

Sorry for the inconvenience! 🙌🏻

This patch fixes the following issues:

Astro Impact:

• RNG bug causing asteroids to occasionally spawn in a set pattern, which also affected supply satellite spawning.

Alien Assault:

• Highscore save bug that would some times overwrite an existing highscore with a lower score. This issue did not affect the global leaderboard, only the local save file.

I hope these small fixes improve gameplay.

This update adds a subtle nostalgic CRT visual mode, and an upgraded lighting package to improve visuals. In addition, issue with inconsistent framerate is fixed.

• Framerate capped @60hz to handle choppy framerate and ensure smoother, more consistent gameplay.
  
• Added a CRT visual mode for a bit of nostalgia, adding an old-school vibe to the game.
  
• Upgraded the Unity lighting package for better lighting. The lighting is discreet but significantly improved.

I hope these updates make the game better for you 🙌🏻

This patch fixes a respawn bug in Alien Assault where players could, under certain circumstances, respawn during the Game Over screen.

Additionally, it includes a few minor UI tweaks.

This patch adjusts the requirements for a few achievements to make them less of a chore. Hopefully, more players can now unlock these without getting too bored.

Astro Impact:

• Red Rampage, Blue Breakthrough and Green Gain: Now you only need to reach wave 4 with each, down from 5.

Brick Smash:

• Night Sky Knight: Requirement changed to reach level 6, previously 8.
