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.

Go have some fun!
We have decided to relaunch Mad Machines as F2P January 29th, added custom games and 1 new map, all this to be able to smash some more blocks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32148647/e0c3c1a7f36b6ac76b9664ff40665b059270a4e1.png These updates are based on all the great feedback we recieved, long ago indeed, however we have not been able to accomplish this until now. I hope you will have some fun! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32148647/116004d2589c867b46a1cc7d12a29c9ec8ae9eb5.jpg
After many considerations and negotiations, we finally managed to figure out a way forward. The game plays well, so we thought why not make it available and at least get some games going. And on top, see if we could manage to create an update with more game modes and a new map style. We have very limited funds, so we decided to make the game available for free and create a DLC as well as a Patreon, to allow an option to support the server costs. If we get enough funds in, we will create more content in the form of more maps and skins. This update is expected to go live mid November.
We managed to get a small server online in Europe, so it is now possible to get some games going again. For the moment there are no updates coming, and we will not open for any sales. Stay safe out there. Team HB
It is not easy to press the send button on this announcement. Mad Machines servers are offline. We cannot cover the funds needed to keep the servers alive anymore. It has been some tough months trying to close the funding needed to continue developing and supporting the game. We did not succeed in doing so, why we turn off the servers now. Thank you all for believing in us and showing your support. Stay safe, Team Mad Machines
We added more weapon skins to the io-game and likewise to the ballgame, which also includes special character upgrades, new colors and most importantly able to be played correctly on 144hz, 170hz and 240hz monitors providing a new level of butter smoothness. Happy New Year!
