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.

Hi everyone, Version 1.0.1 is now live. An important balance change and bugfix. Patch notes: Reduced damage of the Shapeless from 99 to 50. Fixed a bug that caused the game to freeze when playing difficulty 1 or up with the S deck. Got any feedback? Help improve the game by sharing by pressing F8 in-game, on the discussion forums on Steam or on Discord. Enjoy! Alexander
Hi everyone, We are finally here. After more than a year of solo development, after 10 months of Early Access, Shapebreaker is ready for a full release! How it started The idea started when I wanted to combine the classic Tower Defense genre with modern Roguelike Deckbuilders. The success of Roguelike Tower Defense games showed that there were definitely more people out there that would enjoy such a game, just like me. I posted early prototypes on Itch.io. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of people that enjoyed playing such a bareboned game. It was very motivating and I knew I had to k
Hi everyone, Version 0.8.5 is now live. Couple of bugfixes and preparations for full release. Patch notes: Feedback info in the bottom left is no longer visible. The in-game feedback feature will stay in the game! You can still press F8 to provide feedback. After your core reaches 0, you now have the option to either start a new run or go to the main menu. The game now handles the case where you survive the Shapeless reaching your core. Fixed a bug that caused the next difficulty to not unlock if you defeat the Shapeless in that run. Fixed a bug that caused you to be able to use items on Shape
Hi everyone, Version 0.8.2 is now live. Ready to take on the Shapeless? Patch notes: The health of the Shapeless now persist between runs. Defeating the Shapeless unlocks a new challenge deck. Fixed a bug that caused attacks/second on a card or tower to be displayed with a lot of digits. Fixed a bug that caused bonusses to max health to not apply to the Collect or die trying challenge deck. Fixed a bug that caused tower tooltips to show range boost as absolute number instead of as a percentage. Fixed a bug that caused the game to not continue after defeating the Shapeless. (Yeah, some players

Hi everyone, Version 0.7.4 is now live. Variation in map layouts has been increased as this was the most requested change on Discord. Come vote and hang out if you haven't done so already. Patch notes: Increased map variety for Act I, II & III. Curios that increase credits gained or affect shop prices, can no longer be encountered in the shop. The elite modifier that increases shape density by 100% is replaced by a modifier that increases spawn rate and movement speed by 40%. Renamed Inspirational extendor curio to Inspirational extender. Fixed a bug that caused the game to malfunction when yo

Hi everyone, EDIT: Steam has messaged me that they made a mistake and are undoing their earlier decision. They will not be allowing Shapebreaker to participate due to it being available in Early Access. That's unfortunate news. This means the Steam Next Fest live-streams are unfortunately cancelled, but the competition will go on as planned! Shapebreaker will be participating in Steam Next Fest from February 6 to February 13. Steam Next Fest is an online festival that features upcoming releases here on Steam! You can check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfest I am organisi
Hi everyone, Version 0.7.0 is now live. Big update with the introduction of elite maps and a bunch of balance changes! Consider your options before going into elite maps. They provide some juicy minor curio's but are you sure your deck can handle the extra challenge? Patch notes: • Curio's have been split into major and minor curio's. • Major curio's can be obtained from boss maps. • Minor curio's can be obtained from elite maps. • Each Act now contains an elite map with a random elite modifier. • Shield generator is now a minor curio and prevents first 3 damage taken each map instead of first
Hi everyone, I have decided to move the release date for Shapebreaker from February 21 to May 2. I want to deliver a high quality full release and this will no longer be possible to achieve by February 21. There are multiple factors playing a role here which I would like to clarify below. First of all I misjudged the impact of becoming a father. I knew that taking care of a child would take a lot of time and energy, but it's taking even more than I thought. My nights have been thoroughly and structurally invaded by my little baby girl and her constant requirement for sustenance. Even though my
Hi everyone, Version 0.6.5 is now live. Shape spawn points now show a preview of the shape that will spawn. Maps with multiple spawn points now have a smoother start. Patch notes: • Shape spawn points now show a preview of the shape that will be spawned. • Maps with multiple shape spawn points now only have 1 active spawn point during wave 1, and 2 during wave 2. • Increased damage of Burn element from 75% of hit to 120% of hit. • Increased the chances of obtaining an item after a map in Act II and Act III. • Increased the difficulty of the Act III boss map but reduced the health of the boss i
Hi everyone, Version 0.6.3 is now live. Bit of a big update again. Acts now have branching paths instead of one linear path. This update also introduces events into the game! Patch notes: • Added branching paths for Acts. • Added events which can be encountered as an alternative to maps. • Decreased the number of waves for some of the Act III maps from 7 to 6. • Decreased the number of cards drawn when playing a targeting priority card from 2 to 1. • You can no longer receive more than one type of Target System Syphon curio. • You now receive a warning when you still have a card you can play w
