Greetings star pilots! It's been a long journey, but we're finally here.

Asteroid Launcher
This new weapon fires a massive, physical projectile that deals crash damage. Master this weapon to unlock a legendary capable of adding crash damage to any weapon (and yes, bullets trigger Explosive Armor).

Virus Damage
A new virus damage type enables high-risk, high-reward builds. Virus weapons and passives drain your own health in exchange for massive buffs. Don't go too deep into virus upgrades until your healing can keep up.

Shields
Shields completely block damage, and grant bonuses while you remain untouched. Push your bullet hell skills to the limit, as careful dodging is the way to maintain your shields and maximize this build.

Domain of the Revenant
New enemies and bosses are waiting on the research planet of Cobalt Syntharia. The rebel army now possess advanced revenant rebirth drives. Watch out for invincible rebel ships, raised from the dead by a Spectromancer. Kill the source, and they all die.

Fashion
Deck out your ship in ultra-rare fashion equipment, as well many new ship bodies and engine trails. Fashion equipment is only available to players who complete the toughest challenges.

Challenges
Master the game by completing a new series of challenges, on both stages and loadouts. The harder ones are linked directly to Steam achievements. Can you beat the Stage 1 boss in 7 seconds? Probably not.

First up will be bug fixes and balance. Share your OP builds and keep the bug reports coming.
Next will be taking a look at a highly requested feature: local co-op. No promises yet, as I need to make sure multiplayer works well in a game like this.

If you like the game, and want to see more updates, please leave a review. It helps bring more visibility and let other players know this is a game worth playing. Thanks everyone and enjoy the game!

Greetings star pilots. The High Priests of Eden have decreed that Solar Survivors shall launch on April 16th. Become the ultimate faithkeeper you were meant to be, and destroy the rebel army with overwhelming firepower and OP builds.

I'm excited to finally share the 1.0 release with everyone! And don't worry, all save data from the demo will transfer over automatically. I'll share full patch notes on release day, but look forward to new content, challenges, and crazy legendaries.

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback, posted videos, streamed on twitch, and just played the game in generally. See you in two weeks.

Cheers,
Box

This patch focuses on better support for ultra wide screen and other aspect ratios.

General

• Player and enemy size now remains constant, regardless of aspect ratio. Ultra wide screen should no longer feel "zoomed in".
  
• New title screen background, plus the title screen uses the proper layout on all aspect ratios
  
• Stage backgrounds look better when using tall aspect ratios (4:3, etc)
  
• Misc visual polish

Bug fixes

• The Viper miniboss is no longer halfway off the screen when using ultra wide resolutions
  
• Fixed an issue where the stage complete progress bar didn't fill up all the way when using ultra wide resolutions
  
• The boss warning no longer blocks the level up window

Closing out 2023 with one last patch.

General

• New music
  
• Visual polish

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that can occur when applying the Specializer upgrade to one of the Spread weapons
  
• Fixed an issue where the player couldn't crash into the Stage 1 boss on the left side, and another issue where the player wouldn't bounce out after crashing into the boss
  
• Collecting two boss loots back-to-back will no longer cause the player to miss out on EXP

Stage 1 is back! Return to the sands of Kedoshim, not seen since ancient times (the beta a few months ago). Travel to this desert planet, known for its anti-matter mines, in order to purify the rebel army.

New content

• Stage 1 is back with improved level and boss design.
  
• The Codex loadout has been added. It focuses on EXP manipulation and triggering powerful effects on level up. Unlock a new passive, a legendary, and equipment.
  
• Add more equipment to your star fighter's motherboard with an additional, unlockable PCIe slot.

General

• Stage 2 has been reduced from 16 to 15 minutes to match Stage 1.
  
• Stage 2 now needs to be unlocked, either by clearing Stage 1 or earning enough Stage EXP to reach bonus level 5.
  
• Minibosses will now get bored and slowly walk away. The intent is to make the game easier for defensive builds and playstyles. Previously, if you don't burst down a miniboss, they'll stick on the screen for the rest of time and become overwhelming. Now, they'll eventually leave the screen but won't drop any loot.
  
• Items in the shop you can't afford are now sorted below items you can afford.

Balance

• Reduced the overall DPS of the Spread weapons, but improved the final upgrade of Spread Invert.
  
• Doubled the base damage of Heatseeker Omega. This is one of my favorite items - setting up combos to proc the effect as often as possible feels great, but is actually trash DPS. This should fix that.
