Two main changes in this update: Accessibility settings (no shakes, no flashes, no scrolling) in Options → Gameplay. “Cheat” unlockables (infinite lives, infinite missiles, infinite weapon power). Note that these unlockables come with a hefty score penalty, and while activated they also block specific medals. Any mid-mission progress as well as all Options menus will be lost.

This is a small update to the Episode which: Adds a loading screen (to fix the stuttering caused by the initial asset preload). Pro tip: you can still press ESC to skip the loading screen (although of course the loading will still continue in the background, potentially causing stutters for a few seconds). Adds the "automatic" option for letterboxing (which will stretch up to 20%, then letterbox beyond that). Due to changes to some internal files, this update will regrettably reset any in-progress mission, and also any Options relating to Graphics/Sound/Controls/etc.

This is a very small update that nevertheless fixes a very serious issue: being unable to save your progress if your Steam name started with certain emoji.

EPISODE 5 This is a free major update which introduces the new "Episode" format: a fundamental rework of the game incorporating several significant and far-reaching enhancements: Remastered graphics. Now in glorious Full HD 1920x1080 (16:9), rather than the original 1600x960 (5:3). Each wave, cutscene, and menu has been individually reviewed and tweaked to account for the new aspect ratio and screen dimensions. Improved weapons. The weapon roster has been reworked and rebalanced. This is the cumulative result of a large player community effort to make all weapons equally effective and fun to u

Windows: This update fixes certain translations and other minor cosmetic issues. Mac: This update ensures compatibility with macOS 12 Monterey, and also fixes a sound issue (namely, no sound at all) under certain circumstances. Linux: As a reminder, we have recently discontinued all Linux games due to insufficient market interest and increasing maintenance costs. The recommended way to play this game now is through Steam's Proton: right-click on the game in your Library, select "Properties", then "Compatibility", and force one of the Proton versions there.
