A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

This is a minor maintenance release. A lot of technical changes under the hood to bring Universe in line with the latest changes in Episodes and Collection. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-160/39283
This is a minor maintenance release. Several changes are related to enhanced keyboard/gamepad navigation. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-159/38884
A lot of wave tweaks (again). More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-158/38238
A lot of wave tweaks. Also, added Accessibility settings ("Screen shakes", "Screen flashes", "Starfield scrolling") in Options -> Gameplay . Due to this change, all your Options settings will regrettably be reset during this update. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-157/37537
A lot of wave tweaks. Important: Slob behaviour has changed in this version. Slobs will now speed up towards the edges of the screen to avoid falling too far behind and disappearing while they are still visible. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-156/37218
This fixes a bug with Slob chickens which was introduced in v155.4 yesterday.
More new waves! As with the v.154 update, bear in mind that some of these waves are quite hard, and they won't appear on easy difficulties. Also, as usual, the new additions will unavoidably shuffle the wave ordering of existing missions, so you might find that your stored favourites have significantly changed.

New waves! Bear in mind that some of these waves are quite hard, and they won't appear on easy difficulties. Also, as usual, the new additions will unavoidably shuffle the wave ordering of exisiting missions, so you might find that your stored favourites are no longer such favourites after all. You can also purchase CI1 as DLC in this update. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-154/36248
This is a maintenance release which fixes a crash when flying CI1 DLC. Next week there will be another small update, which will enable purchasing of DLC within the game. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-153/35913
DLC is now available for purchase in-game! Chicken Invaders Episodes 2-3-4-5 are available right now, Episode 1 is coming in the next update. If you already own the individual Episodes on Steam, then you can export your purchases to Universe for free. Check the Steam news of each individual Episode for instructions. Steam Achievements have been added. Upon first login, you will retroactively receive all achievements that you have already… achieved. Also, the default letterbox option is now "automatic", which will stretch the image up to 20% horizontally, and will use black bars for anything be
Boot Camp mission is here! Head to your nearest Heroes Academy to try it out! More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-150/35022
Episodic DLC is here! Well, almost. DLC content is already present in the game, however it cannot be purchased just yet. You will only be able to export existing Chicken Invaders 2-3-4-5 purchases from Steam or the InterAction studios website for use within CIU. Instructions on how to do that will be issued very soon. Also, a very slight teaser for the new Boot Camp mission type. You'll eventually be able to access this mission from Heroes Academies. Please ensure translations are up-to-date, because there are several new phrases added to this update. More information about this update can be
A lot of behind-the-scenes clean-up, refactoring, and unification with the Episodes. Customizable scratches have been added to paintjobs. Also, check out the new "copy existing paintjob" and "randomize paintjob" features. There are also many new text phrases in this update (mainly needed for the Episodes), so please make sure you update your translations. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-148/34616
There aren’t many player-facing changes in this update. Nevertheless, a large part of the game has been reworked. As part of these reworks, all your saved Mission Config presets have been reset, so you’ll need to save them again. Summer content is still available, but you have to manually select it at the main menu via Options → Seasonal Content. More information about this update can be found here: https://forum.chickeninvaders.com/t/ciu-version-147/33812
Summer content! :sunglasses: ... and that's pretty much it. Enjoy! Summer content is automatically activated during 1-30 June. You can manually turn it on or off from the main menu by selecting Options → Seasonal Content .
