Space Rock Breaker news & patch notes

Here's a small update that optimizes the game a lil bit. It should now run faster and use less memory. Additionally I fixed an issue where the resolution and display settings weren't being set properly.

Cheers and thanks for playing!

Howdy, I finally managed to finish adding controller support to the game, aswell as the option to control the ship with your keyboard (WASD and arrow keys). I've currently listed it as "Beta" controller support, but will update the games Steam page to "Full controller support" once I can be sure it is bug free. In addition to that, I've added a couple new settings:

• A toggle to unlock the mouse from the game window

• A toggle to turn off screenshake

• A slider to change the size of the in-run cursor so that it can be see more easily if necessary

Cheers, and thanks for playing

Changes/Updates

Again, thank you so much for playing. Leave any bugs or feedback you want me to read in the discussions, and I'll see it! WAKA

Merry Christmas! We have just hit 10k units sold, which is amazing. Another huge thank you to everyone who has purchased and played the game. Before I list the bugfixes, I'd like to mention that I am reading every post and comment on the discussions board, so even if I don't reply immediately just know that I am reading all of the feedback and suggestions. Here is a list of bugfixes that I've made with this patch:

• Attempted to fix an issue that caused stuttering when switching background tracks

• Added an option in settings to disable the floating texts that display damage and dollars in the plinko machine

• Changed "hold space for next sector" to "hold mouse for next sector". Both mouse and space can be used, but mouse seems to be the natural favourite.

• Fixed an issue where bonus lazer damage from loot was sometimes not applied correctly

• Fixed an issue where plasma chain length was not set correctly

If you are encountering any issues, definitely throw them in the discussions and I'll fix everything I can

Thanks for playing! waka

Fixed an issue where the game could break if played offline / not connected to steam. If anyone ran into this issue, I'm really sorry about that! A slightly bigger patch with some more bug fixes is coming later today

Thanks for all the feedback and reviews so far! Here is a little hotfix for today. - Fixed an issue that caused the cost of certain upgrades to go negative. Existing stats will not be modified.

- Fixed an issue that caused lazer loot upgrades to sometimes not be applied correctly

- Fixed an issue where upgrades were being capped at the wrong level

- Fixed some minor UI issues

Well I finally pressed that green button that says release app. Space Rock Breaker is now live on steam! Anyway here's a 40% discount to match the Steam winter sales going on.

Hope you enjoy!

Howdy again

With this second patch I am aiming to fix a couple of the issues that have been brought up in the discussions and reviews, aswell as fix a couple more bugs. Overwhelmingly the most requested feature has been to speed up the process of opening lootboxes which I have added as an upgrade, and I think you'll find quite enjoyable.

Here is a list of all changes:

• Added an upgrade that allows you to open multiple lootboxes at once

• Removed the "Sector Selector" bar above the "Begin Expedition" button until it is able to be used

• Added an upgrade to increase collection radius size

• Fixed some small UI bugs

• Fixed some small audio bugs

Next announcement will likely be a release date announcement! Once again thanks playing, and if you have more feedback don't hesitate to let me know in the discussions or the discord

Howdy, here is the first patch for the demo build of Space Rock Breaker If you have given feedback or played the demo, thanks so much! It means a lot, and I've been enjoying watching the let's plays and reading your reviews and feedback. This patch is mostly bug fixes, although there are some small balance changes aswell.

• Fixed an issue where bullets would clip through asteroids. The method I used to fix this issue is slightly more CPU intense, so if there any noticeable performance drops let me know in the discussions!

• The cursor is now visible over top of the transition screen.

• Fixed an issue that caused the lootbox and "open lootbox" button to disappear until the game was restarted.

• added a toggle in the options to decide weather the game will run will minimized/unfocused. The toggle defaults to "On".

• Added an upgrade to further increase the spawnrate of asteroids.

The following changes will require a new save file for them to take effect:

• Reduced fuel drain per shot by 50%

• Increased missile damage given by "Explosive Warhead" upgrade from +5 to +10 per level.

• Halved spacemine base HP

The most highly requested change has been to increase the speed that you can open lootboxes, which I highly agree with. This is a change I am currently working on, and will post an update as soon as I can! Thanks for playing WAKA
