Plunge into Feardrop's orange abyss this Halloween with our Trick, Treat or Die event. Because nothing says “community” like watching strangers die for bags of candy.

With over 100 brand new items in our Halloween Hex to collect, 10 Hidden Candy Bags to find, Map changes to survive, and plenty of Community Challenges to sink your teeth into. This event marks our biggest one yet!

Duration: October 17th, 2025 - Nov 31st, 2025

10 Candy bags are scattered across the island - sweet little death traps left by corporate psychos who thought Halloween needed more blood.

Collect all 10 and unlock the "Tooch Decayer" achievement in our brand new event tab found inside of your Career Page. Unlocking this achievement will also reward you with our new Hell Sack Mask. The first Zero to find all 10 will get Serial Number #1 for you collectors out there. Yes, all done in game this time! No big discord raffle.

Lucky Zeroes will now find our Halloween-themed Hexes around the map. Extract them while you can for a chance at decoding a sweet sweet treat!

For the unlucky Zeroes - don't worry, we got you. We've also added the ability to buy Halloween Hexes for GUN right from your main menu. Please note these purchases are limited to 2 Halloween Hexes per day.

Halloween Hexes include:

• Single-Use Psycho Mask (Limited Supply of 100 Per Platform)

• 3x Spooky Character Sets (10 separate items in total to collect)

• 5x Emotes

• 2x Profile Banners

• 15x Halloween Profile Avatars

• 3x New Weapon Skins (72 skins in total to collect)

Basically televised seasonal depression. At planned times during the event, the burning fog will roll over Teardrop and transform it into Feardrop. New Jetpack trails, creepy sounds and huge pumpkin blimps haunt every corner of the Island.

Happy Halloween, Zero.

Thank you all so much for your feedback and bug reports, your input has been essential for us to tackle these fixes quickly and efficiently.

We'll keep working hard to make Hell Maiden the best game we can! ❤️‍🔥

💥Crash Fixes:

- Levelling up while using the Spell could cause the game to enter an unplayable state.

🛠️Functional Fixes:

- Player could lose during Minos' last phase right at the end and the game would still consider the boss as defeated making it so the next time the player faced the boss the end Victory cutscene would play automatically.

- Fixed a bug where the controls displayed in the tutorials wouldn't load in time, displaying instead a placeholder string.

- Pause menu no longer loses selection when you switch to the mouse in certain parts of the animations.

- Some health potions were impossible to consume.

- Sometimes the player could get stuck in a permanent slow motion state that would only reset if the player exited and reopened the game app.

- Some players were experiencing a bug where the Spell animations had pretty low framerates.

🖼️Visual/UI Fixes:

- Stats menu UI fixes.

- There's now a health decrease HUD effect.

- Fixed a visual bug with the gems' colour in the Horace blessing screen.

🌍Localization fixes:

- Some characters weren't showing up for the Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese languages.

📺Ultrawide support:

- Multiple ultrawide support bugfixes. Even though not fully supported, it is now easier for the player to find a configuration that works since the settings menu should now work correctly on ultrawide, allowing the selection of a different aspect ratio or windowed mode.

ℹ️Take care when leaving reviews:

If the issue you're reporting is fixable and/or a minor bug rather than your honest opinion about the game, please report it via the discussions forum rather than a regular Steam review.

We'll be working hard to fix everything we can as quickly as possible!

Thank you for playing Hell Maiden! ❤️‍🔥

Surprise, another update has landed! Just a couple of days after submitting 1.2.01 to Google Play, a new deadline popped up: Submit a version that supports 16kb memory page sizes by the end of October, or else! Luckily around the exact same time, Godot 4.5 was released, which had the necessary support for the memory page size update. Since I needed to make an update anyway, I squeezed a couple of bug fixes in as well:

• Fix an issue where you sometimes couldn’t move a building to a position that overlaps its prior position, even though the cursor correctly rendered in blue. (Thanks to a bug in the code, you could only do so if moving the building right, not left. Ooops.)

• Fixed/Hacked around an issue where the Railway Status Window would get unnecessarily long and put the title off screen, making it difficult to close and impossible to move. (I still don’t know why this happens, apart from some quirk in the way the containers resize to their contents but won’t shrink back, but I worked around this by forcing the window to spawn in the top left rather than the middle. That way, if there is any excess size, it all goes down, rather than being split between top and bottom.)

• Stopped steam engine smoke from spawning through the tunnel roof. (Apart from 2 pixels, if you look too closely. Please don’t do that. 😅)

Most development time is going towards Project OY now, but I’m still maintaining a list of features (including player requests) – this won’t be the last update you see for Iron Village!

Greetings Commander,

The latest update has been released: Release v1.1.2 - Capitalist

The Capitalist is a powerful trader who arrives with an arsenal of utility equipment and an uncanny ability to negotiate favorable prices.

In addition to the new commander, we've also included another provisional fix for the tiny window bug that has been affecting some players. If it continues to occur please post a bug report on the Discord with your profile.sav file attached. You can also email it to us at:

https://support@tundra-interactive.com

• New commander: Capitalist

• Provisional fix for mid-run tiny window bug

• Added "stackable" to Barrier Relay description.

Ahoy, Sky Sailors! 

We recently shared the first part of our update Devlog, where we dove into technical improvements and new features coming to Aloft: progression tech trees, ecosystem changes, Life Saplings, Life Trees, and the new world generation. That Devlog also contained important information about your saves, so please be sure to check it out if you haven’t already.

We also recently announced the update’s title and release date: Bloom & Blight, which ships on November 4th!We’re now back to deliver part 2 of the Devlog focusing on corruption, enemies, and research – let’s take a look!

As you may know, the world of Aloft is plagued by a mysterious and infectious fungal corruption that aims to completely overtake ecosystems by preying on other fungi, but also on fauna and flora.

This corruption manifests in multiple strains – distinct tiers of corruption, each with its own appearance, enemies, and level of threat.

Currently, the Mykter strain has spread across the world, but going forward it will be found exclusively in Emerald Isles, leaving room for new, more dangerous strains to emerge.

We will soon be introducing two new corruption strains: Sportox and Flogade!

Sportox will be found invading Fallen Heights and recognised by its bright orange bulbs and toxic spore fumes.

Flogade will be found infesting Red Cliffs and recognised by its black tissue, jagged spikes, and scorching red-hot ooze.

Our infamous corruption nodes will also come in Flogade and Sportox versions. Further, nodes are being reimagined as an exploration challenge – instead of being chained to the node’s trunk, weak points will be scattered across the island as corruption cores.

You’ll need to explore and hunt down 2–5 cores before the node itself becomes vulnerable to attack. Careful, enemies will be chasing you down along your path! Once all the cores are destroyed, the node will weaken, opening the way for you to strike the final blow and cleanse the island.

Sportox & Flogade enemies have entered the chat! That’s right sailors, prepare to battle stronger tiers of Guardians, Cowards, and Shriekers! These new monsters will spawn in Fallen Heights and Red Cliffs. 

The new enemies will also have strain-specific special effects: the Spore Cloud and the Scorching Ground! 

Sportox enemies will unleash Spore Clouds, a drifting haze that will hang ominously above the ground. Any player caught within it will suffer the Asphyxiated condition, taking steady damage as toxic spores choke the air around them.

Flogade enemies will ignite the Scorching Ground, a fiery hazard on the battlefield. Players who step into it will suffer the Scorched condition, taking an initial burst of damage followed by ongoing burn damage over time.

To face these new fungi, we’re tooling you up with stronger gear: Windstone and Serrated Bone tools!

Windstone tools will deal more damage than their regular stone counterparts and will have a larger combo zone, making it easier to chain combos and land powerful hits!

Serrated Bone tools will be the strongest of all the tool tiers. Their combo finale will deal increased damage, letting you strike with the greatest force!

Research will now require a special new resource from corrupted islands: the Corruption Anomaly! These strange, bubbling anomalies will pulse and glow across corrupted islands.

Take these anomalies, along with Mykter, Sportox, and Flogade samples back to your Research Lab to experiment with and earn Breakthroughs.

Breakthroughs can be spent on the Research Tech Tree to learn various cure-related technologies, such as Brewing Labs and Terrariums. Each biome will have two tiers of Brewing Labs – tier one labs will concoct the fungicide, but only the upgraded tier two labs will be advanced enough to brew the cure!

That wraps up part 2 of our Bloom & Blight Devlog!

Thank you for reading and for continuing to share your thoughts and feedback. Your input has been invaluable in shaping Aloft’s new systems and enemy encounters!

We can’t wait to see you take on Sportox and Flogade foes when Bloom & Blight launches on November 4th. Until then, keep your sails high and your blades sharpened, Sky Sailors! 💙
