We’ve got less than a month to hit 200 pre-orders, SO, we’re also giving away a FREE Cobalt Core Steam key to the first 200 purchases!

Update 1.2 | Daily Challenges!

CONTENT:

Added a daily mode!

• Everyone playing that day’s daily share a crew, a ship, and a run seed. They also share 1-3 weird modifiers that make daily runs feel pretty different from normal runs!
• Dailies are scored! Compete with your friends on the Steam leaderboards!
• Daily runs are available after beating the game, OR by opting in early (and accepting that dailies may contain story/mechanic spoilers!)

Here’s a few examples of daily modifiers:

• One character only!
• Enemy ship parts are randomly shuffled at the start of every fight!
• Start with extra health, but most fights take place in Solar Flare events- you’re gonna need that extra health
• Cards can only be upgraded to their B upgrade
• Start with a free boss artifact

MISC:

• Ship health bars now have slightly darker ticklines every 5th tick, to make it easier to tell at a glance how much health an enemy has
• Made the card “Release” a dual card- you can now choose if the object you’re releasing is pointed TOWARD or AWAY from you

BUGFIXES

• Made it so getting the status “LOSE ALL YOUR EVADE NEXT TURN” plays a sad sound instead of a happy one
• Fixed some other really minor stuff that’s too boring to list

Bundles

For a short time, you can grab Cobalt Core for 25% to 33% off in these STACKED DISCOUNT BUNDLES!

CONTENT

• Six new enemies:
  • 3 new normal enemies, one per zone!
  • One new elite for zone 2
  • A new alternate Zone 1 boss
  • A new alternate Zone 2 boss

• Duncan the skunk, pilot of the Mining Drill, has been upgraded from NORMAL to ELITE enemy.
  • That’s because he kills players more often than any other non-boss fight! Watch out for this guy!
• One new common artifact: Chaff Emitters

 BUGFIXES

• Fixed a graphical bug in the Hardest version of the big crystal fight
• A few smaller fixes on really weird, niche edge cases

MISC

• Renamed a status from “DRAW LESS NEXT TURN” to “SHAKEN”
• New splash art by Justin Chan! Look at it!!!
• Updated credits

NOTES

In the interest of keeping the game’s initial learning curve the same, all the new enemies can only show up after you’ve played or won a few runs. Pre-existing save files that have already done this will already have access to the new enemies!
