Update 2026.4.15

Steam Leaderboards are Live!

It’s time to see how you stack up against the rest of the world. We’ve implemented a specialized ranking system to crown the most efficient survivors:

  • Score Per Second (SPS): Instead of just total score, the leaderboard tracks your SPS. This rewards aggressive play and high-efficiency builds!

  • Bi-Monthly Resets: To keep the competition fresh and give everyone a chance at the #1 spot, the leaderboards will be reset every half month.

  • Global Standing: Check your rank directly through the Steam community or in-game to see where you sit in the global hall of fame.

Optimization & Performance

We want the "Googly Eye" chaos to run as smoothly as possible, especially during high-intensity runs:

  • Performance Pass: Under-the-hood optimizations have been made to ensure the game maintains a stable framerate even when the screen is filled with physical projectiles and enemies.

  • Refined Codebase: General cleanup of game logic to reduce CPU overhead during late-game waves.
