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.

Unity released a patch which fixes a security flaw. This build has been updated to use this patch.
When collected all Wavecade letters, powerup time is increased. Bosses health now don't increase as much on 2nd encounters. Vertical beam ability makes player invincible while active. Added support for multiple block paths to be active at the same time. Mini-bosses particles now less distracting. Zomero bullets larger and more sparse. Remote content delivery. Download size is now smaller. Scroll sensitivities fixed on various scroll areas.
Gameplay balances Screen-shake intensity tweaks Small bug fixes

Overhauled Customization UI improvements Optimized app size Performance improvements
We fixed a bunch of small issues that were causing minor glitches and soft locks. We also did some balancing changes for some abilities and improved the Hall Of Fame competition display. Please join our Discord for the latest news! https://wavecade.net
We are consolidating our DLC to have unlockable ship skins in the "Wavecade - Skins Pack" DLC. Ships don't require DLC to unlock in the latest version! Go ahead and try them out!
Main Changes: Complete overhaul of player ship customization: We are still working on this to constantly improve it and we may totally rework it again Simplified ship selection process, each ship has tailored particle effects. Some ships require XP to unlock. Animated ship colors. UI overhaul: Main menu UI updated to be less confusing and easier to navigate with a controller. In-game UI is more readable and prettier. New Hazard: Black Holes. Random amounts of black holes spawn on screen and suck in blocks. Players that are caught within its bounds for too long will lose a life. New Mini-boss:
