Update: New Enemies, Achievements, Audio Pass & Major UI Improvements

This update is a big step forward for the game—adding more variety to your runs, improving overall feel, and continuing to smooth out rough edges across the experience.

Headline Features

• 10 New Enemies – The Outlaws' Hideaway The Hideaway is starting to feel a lot more alive (and dangerous). You’ll now encounter all kinds of outlaws and bandits, along with corrupted creatures like mutant sewer rats and twisted alligators. The goal here is to make encounters feel more varied while reinforcing enemy behavior patterns you can learn over time.

• Steam Cloud Saving Your progress now syncs automatically, so you can jump back in without worrying about losing a run.

• Steam Achievements (First Batch) The first set of achievements is live—more to come as the game grows.

• New Music & Combat Sound Effects Added new tracks for combat and non-combat, along with the first pass of combat SFX. This is an early step, but it already makes fights feel much more impactful.

  • The Outlaws' Hideaway

Developer Notes

We’re really excited about how the game is evolving right now. A lot of this update focused on strengthening the core experience—especially making encounters feel more distinct and improving overall feedback during combat.

Next week, the game will be part of a sale, and we’re looking forward to having more players jump in.

This is our first release on Steam, and your feedback is already helping shape the game in meaningful ways.

If you’ve been playing, we’d especially love feedback on:

• Balance (difficulty spikes, economy, run pacing)

• UI clarity (what’s confusing, hard to read, or slows you down)

That kind of feedback is directly influencing what we prioritize next.
