addedHello again grinders!The new update is live, and we’ve finally added a feature many of you have been asking for. You can now press ESC in game to view your character stats in detail. How much your damage has increased, which multipliers are active, how powerful your build really is… it’s all right there. Testing overpower builds and diving into the math behind them is now much easier.
removedHello again grinders!In addition, the Test Workshop is no longer part of the main branch. It was a confusing system and in some cases prevented achievements from unlocking. We have removed it from the main version for that reason. If you would like to try experimental features, you can switch to the beta branch through your Steam settings.
changedHello again grinders!We also made an important change to the “Lone Wolf” and “Ace Pilot” achievements. Previously, you had to manually disable all meta upgrades one by one to unlock them. This is no longer necessary. You can now use the reset button to clear your meta upgrades and earn these achievements properly.
fixedHello again grinders!Along with these changes, some players experienced save issues yesterday, but we fixed them quickly. We hope it did not cause too much trouble. We are grateful for your patience and support. After the update, please try the game and do not hesitate to share your feedback. We read every single comment and we promise to bring Swarm Grinder to its best possible state. See you in the next update.
