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.

Greetings citizens of Utopia,A new mini-update is now live!

As always, let us know if you have any suggestions, encounter any bugs or annoyances, or just want to show us your appreciation (we appreciate it!).

Hello all,We hope everyone has been enjoying the performance update, which has paved the way for actual content updates. A major one is currently cooking and starting to look nicely browned, but not totally ready to serve. Here is a sneak peak at what's coming up next:We expect it to start beta testing in early 2026, we'll keep you all posted :)-Miles @ Pixeljam

UTOPIA MUST FALL is absolutely one of the best arcade-styled base defense games made in modern times, and now it's massively better with a new update.

Hello all,The next major update for Utopia Must Fall is here! Featuring:A major performance boost across all aspects of the game. For those that have never seen UMF running at a steady frame rate, the engine should now happily run at whatever rate your display allows (up to 6x more efficiently in some cases). Full Steam Deck support. Thanks for everyone's patience with this, we built the V99 engine ourselves and it took quite a bit of wrangling to get it working. New graphics options allowing you to get the best results for your system, including high DPI screen support, antialiasing and manua
Utopia Must Fall is great base-defense arcade shooter, easily one of my favourites that I played earlier this year and soon Steam Deck players will enjoy it.

Hello all,Thanks for the patience while we worked on this update, now ready to test in the BETA Branch. This update is a little different, as it focuses mainly on performance, graphics options, Steam Deck support, quality-of-life features, and lots of small additions and improvements. It was a necessary update to pave the way for new content, which will be much easier to add now that we have these others things out of the way. Please let us know how this build goes for you in the Beta Feedback Thread. CHANGELOG: v0.729 (beta branch)—————————————————————————————V99 Engine OverhaulEntirely new v
Hello all,Utopia Must Fall is approaching a smaller but significant update in the next few weeks, be on the look out. And now for the main reason to this post...Pixeljam has always worked on multiple projects at once (with different teams), and the thing we've probably spent the most time on is a sequel to our 2008 browser game Dino Run. It's pixel-art prehistoric multiplayer platformer with world-building tools included to let people create and share their own experiences.We've been either dreaming, planning, developing or crowdfunding on it since 2012 or so. We finally have enough momentum t
Utopia Must Fall from developer Pixeljam has absolutely absorbed my attention recently. It's easily one of the best modern arcade shoot 'em ups I've ever played with a great moody atmosphere.
