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.

Hey there, in an effort to find more players for some of my older games, I've decided to make Cosmic Ray free! As per Valve policy, I'm providing one month's notice before the making the change. You can expect the change in early June.
The Artifact Update is now live! Artifact Buffs The biggest change is the addition of an artifact select screen at the start of each round. Selecting an alien artifact will grant a buff, like adding extra time, increasing firing rate, etc. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33226792/71cfd4e202f1400266bdfe04bce409f6e3f7fa79.png This also includes newly revamped artifact icons, as seen above. Visual Improvements Added trails for asteroids Orbit lines are now dashed instead of solid Improved ship part, artifact and blueprint pickup effect (leave particle system) Revamped explosive mines, explosion particles {STE
Coming soon: the Cosmic Ray Artifact update! This update will add an artifact selection screen at the start of each round. Selecting an alien artifact will grant a buff, like adding extra time, increasing firing rate, etc. The update will also include newly revamped artifact images as well as several visual improvements, like asteroid trails and dashed orbit lines. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33226792/8007b2bd8f09fe99c18700e34e06647016f640da.jpg Stay tuned! I'll be uploading a build to the preview branch in the next week or so.
I'm pleased to announce my latest game, Super Rocket Ride! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33020503/e21ef2a2663609cb12948c92a7f49206d6e21789.png It can best be described as a cross between old school lander games and classic platformers of the SNES era: a simple control scheme, lush pixel art, and unforgiving levels fraught with obstacles and hazards. Super Rocket Ride is being developed in collaboration with Unruly Games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYiYXqGusUs Features 🚀 24 hand-crafted levels (with more on the way) 🚀 Analog controls 🚀 Over-the-top p

If this sounds like something that may be of interest to you can pre-register here, or stop by the Discord to register for the upcoming closed beta. P.S. iPhone/iPad users, fear not! If the Android release goes well, an iOS version is not far behind.
Build 21 is now live and includes the following: delay activation of space blobs fix for space blobs getting offset over time add some random asteroids in the middle of the galaxy reduce intensity of terraform success SFX reduce volume of transmission SFX
Build 20 is now live and includes the following: New enemy type! Insanely creative working name: "space blob". These guys build up energy as you shoot them, which charges up their deflection attack. Eventually they totally discharge and "rest" for a while. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33226792/4b12388668e642acd2dc73d32b3315efd4bee17f.png https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33226792/691470bc5c8982c1ea99e553ebca51bb32828f64.gif Other changes Enemy ship fire patterns: rather than firing continuously, there are now gaps.

Check this discussion for more details and instructions on how to check it out and offer feedback. 👽
I just uploaded a build with the following fixes: player able to enter orbit with enemies nearby player thruster SFX and particles not triggering tweaked player thruster SFX to be a bit less abrasive P.S. I've got something interesting in the works: a new type of enemy! Stay tuned. 👽
Adam from Cosmocat here. I'm happy to announce our newest game, Brainmelter Deluxe! Brainmelter Deluxe is a challenging, reflex-based platform game with a (literal) twist: the level rotates 90 degrees when you jump. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33020503/c26ba16efd70fb19969b24c161aae876ab565f86.gif Game Features 🧠 procedurally generated levels mean no two runs are exactly the same 🧠 beautifully hand illustrated cutscenes 🧠 over-the-top physics-based deaths 🧠 lush retro-inspired graphics, contemporized with modern dynamic lighting and particle effects 🧠
Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce the first official patch for Cosmic Ray! This build adds several bug fixes and improvements: fix for hidden mouse cursor interacting with menus when using gamepad fix for SFX playing on interaction with disabled buttons fix to only center mouse cursor if using gamepad (otherwise, use mouse position) fix for some physics updates bound to framerate improve mouse/gamepad button interaction (it should no longer be possible to get into a state where NO button is selected) hide mouse cursor on D-pad input pulse hull integrity on health pickup

I'm excited to announce our newest game: Cosmic Ray! Cosmic Ray is a game about exploring space in search of hospitable planets for colonization. It's pretty easy to pick up--dare I say casual--and features fairly short rounds, so we think it's a good option for killing a few minutes. Despite the simplicity we try to keep things challenging and interesting with permadeath, randomized galaxies, ship upgrades and alien artifacts to be found w
