Entropy Survivors News

This month our team celebrates our proud Irish-American heritage with an in-game St. Patrick’s Day event! Come and see what exclusive dyes await you at the end of the rainbow:





In addition to a greened-up hub and these limited-time unlockable dyes, we’ve also bumped up the number of entries on the Endless Mode leaderboards. We’ve been really encouraged by the response to endless mode, so stay tuned for bigger updates coming soon.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
- Moving Pieces and First Break Labs

FIX: Heroes standing in two overlapping Enchanter sigils no longer lose the sigil effect early
FIX: Multiple rocket launcher performance improvements
FIX: Fixed bug allowing multiple copies of the mission select menu to be open at once
FIX: Reconfigured memory management to avoid CPU-heavy memory operations in the middle of combat
UPDATE: Endless leaderboards show more players.
UPDATE: The game now saves hourly automatic backups to %LOCALAPPDATA%/EntropySurvivors/Saved/SaveGames/LocalBackups. We do not believe there are any save-losing bugs in the Entropy Survivors game code, however accidents are always possible with conflicting cloud saves, hardware failures, full disks, and so on, so we wanted to give players an emergency backup option. These backups are not synced to Steam's cloud.

As we usher in the Year of the Snake, we’re excited to bring some great news for our loyal players and newcomers alike! To celebrate the Lunar New Year, we're offering fantastic discounts on four of our popular titles: Entropy Survivors, Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef, SPINGUN, and David - from now until February 10th. This is the perfect time to add them to your collection at a reduced price!

Here’s a quick look at each game:


Entropy Survivors is a bullet hell roguelike where you simultaneously control a powerful mech and a sharpshooting space frog, featuring outrageously creative abilities and powerful weapon customization. Save the universe in single player or 2-4 player online co-op!
