Hello everyone, I'm VaMP.
After half a month of hard work, I'm excited to announce that Version 0.7 will be updated on August 29th!
The new version will include the following contents:

• Endless Mode playable on all three maps. Customize your weapons, mods, and equipment to take on increasingly powerful enemies and push your limits.
  
• New Weapon - Moonbeam: The fan-shaped Moonbeam possesses strong penetrating power and will damage all enemies in its path.
  
  
  
  
• New Weapon - Alpha Beam: This weapon can fire a special laser beam that reflects between enemies indefinitely until its energy is depleted, causing extensive area damage.
  
  
  
  
• New Weapon - Missile Launcher: It can fire advanced tracking missiles that seek out enemies and explode, causing significant area damage.
  
  
  
  
• Increased the level cap to EPIC V.
  
• Increased mod capacity to a maximum of 96.
  
• New Achievements to unlock.
  
• Optimized the game experience.

During Steam SHMUP Fest on September 26th, we will post another major update. At that time, we will introduce a brand-new combat mechanism. This will allow different equipment to be combined, creating even more powerful ultimate gear. Furthermore, we will continue to develop additional weapon combinations and upgrade options.

If you encounter any other problems, please leave a message or join our Discord to provide feedback.

Update to make the new Fight Club content work with old save files

Hi everyone \o

New update this week, fixing yet more minor issues that you reported back to us, and some that we found ourselves.
We spent a bit of time figuring out the controller issues that you have reported to us, we are able to fix a bunch (especially the ones that use some third-party software to emulate the Xbox controller) do let us know if everything is finally smooth.
Besides that, the team decided to spend the next few weeks polishing everything that we have so far as well as working on the new tutorial sections for the game, which will happen on the Control Bay, so technically the Control Bay development starts now!
Next week we will skip the usual weekly update that we've been following ever since the release, the team hasn't stopped since the release so we will take a break and get back in September.
As usual a big thanks to all our players and the kind feedback and suggestions you've been sending us!!
