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.

New Enemy Variants!
2023-03-17 19:39 UTC · Community Announcements · Fatty
In this build, we are thrilled to introduce three new enemy variants: Shark -> Hammer Head: This vicious predator now has a new passive ability. For every hex on the Hammer Head, it will add 1 hit to its already formidable attack. Sludge Alien -> Muk Alien: Beware the new passive ability of this slimy foe. If it ever loses more than 4 HP in a single hit, you will lose 1 HP in return. Sewer Rats -> Dungeon Rats: These pesky vermin have upgraded to a new passive ability. At the start of your turn, if you have more than 5 energy, the Dungeon Rats will heal 1 HP, making them even harder to defeat.
