Patch 1.0

Cosmic Raze 1.0 – We Have Liftoff!

Well, here we are. Cosmic Raze has reached 1.0! Thanks for all of the feedback along the way, and to my Patreon supporters for lending an extra helping hand.

I’m happy with how this little experiment turned out, and hope you’ve enjoyed it too. I’ll be keeping an eye on any lingering bugs, but otherwise I consider this project complete.

Stay tuned for what’s next!

Features

• 14 new augments to unlock and equip • 2 new active powers to unlock and equip • 6 new, harder difficulties • Cosmic Daze: A brand new easy mode that gives you some serious advantages • 20 new achievements • The Data Codex: Track your unlocks, equipped weapons, and achievement progress

Balance Notes: A lot of changes here focus on energy gain. In older versions of the game, it cost a lot more to build weapons, so energy gain was higher.

Experience needed for your first several unlocks has also been reduced. • (Meta) On higher difficulties, long range strikes against your weapons will no longer happen in the first 30 seconds of a wave. • (Gamepad) When playing with a gamepad, you now have an extra 1.5 seconds to collect gold bars • (Power) Column Bomb has an 11 second cooldown, down from 12 • (Power Backup Battery: Grants +60 energy, down from 100 • (Augment) Scrap Zap now gives +20 energy when you scrap a weapon, up from 10 • (Augment) Hot Potato now states that it triggers when mines detonate, not bombs.
