removedRemoving the Speedrunner achievementBecause of this, we've decided to remove the achievement from the game. Our goal with the achievement was to provide another challenge for those who would like to test their ability to optimize their choices in the upgrade tree in a fresh run after having completed the game already. However, since we already have leaderboards in the "Speedrun mode", there's enough of an incentive to try to beat the game as fast as possible even without the achievement.

changedWe've sold 20,000 copies!We'd also like to take another chance to give a big thank you to everyone who has been playing the game over this weekend, and helped make our launch bigger than we could have ever anticipated. We're beyond excited to be able to announce that we've officially sold 20,000 copies of the game within less than 48 hours of the game's launch. It's been quite surreal to see more than 1,000 players concurrently playing the game through almost the entire weekend so far. You are all the best. <3

Hi everyone! Quick update from us.

Removing the Speedrunner achievement

We've heard your feedback on the Speedrunner achievement (complete the game in less than 2 hours) going against the spirit of incremental games. We understand that many of you would like to be able to max out the achievements in your first playthrough, and it doesn't feel good to know from the start that you won't be able to.

Because of this, we've decided to remove the achievement from the game. Our goal with the achievement was to provide another challenge for those who would like to test their ability to optimize their choices in the upgrade tree in a fresh run after having completed the game already. However, since we already have leaderboards in the "Speedrun mode", there's enough of an incentive to try to beat the game as fast as possible even without the achievement.

For those of you who had already completed the achievement, we understand the disappointment of not being able to show it off anymore. But we think this change is for the better of the whole player base, so we hope you can understand our decision.

We've sold 20,000 copies!
