Meta-progression (which Upgrades you've unlocked) and settings (resolution, volume) now carry over between devices!But heed these warnings:Cloud Storage works fine with the Steam Deck, but the Deck only pushes data to the cloud when you quit the game, not when you put the device to sleep.If you use two different Steam accounts on the same device, they will use the same data: same meta-progression ...

I never play these games full-screen but apparently YOU DO! So, here's some full-screen support; see the checkbox in Settings. Note: if you previously applied full-screen with Alt+Enter, you'll see some screen flickering (once) on your next boot, as we sync your old settings to the locally stored settings. Alt+Enter will now be ignored, since the checkbox is the preferred way to toggle it.

SOLARFLARE is now available to the public! Good luck, you'll need it.

But... do say something if you really want to see more. Every gamedev has a million ide...

All playtesters' feedback has been incredibly useful! But since every todo list is infinite, a time must someday come that we say "no to all of that", if we ever want to release.

Heat now has a delightful blaring siren that portends your demise; you're welcome!You can no longer play at 6x speed. We at SOLARFLARE believe 4x speed should be enough for anyone, and anyways 6x speed was making our audio guy very sad.You can now see your character in the Victory screen.You still can't choose your character though, that'd be crazy.
