It came from space and ate our brains News

[h3]Alien Slayers![/h3]We’re interrupting the alien invasion to bring you egg-ceptional wishes! No, it’s not “may you live in interesting times” (well, we already are!), no yolking around!

We wish you lots of health points and may you encounter 0 (an egg)... errr 0 (zero) deadly enemies on your life path.

You’re doing so much for humanity by staying home and slaying aliens, so we’re doing our best for you too! Just recently we’ve launched an open beta update called HARDER (as in “harder than hard-boiled eggs”!), which you can find here. You can also play remotely with your awesome team by using Steam Remote Play Together, more information here.

So gather your friends and be badasses together! Play It came from space and ate our brains now!

Also, do tell us which eggs you prefer. Real-life eggs or aliens eggs? Let us know in the comments!

[h3]Hey, everyone! [/h3]It’s been a few weeks since the launch of It came from space and ate our brains on consoles and our major update on Steam, and we can honestly say we’re thrilled with the response we’ve seen so far. From awesome reviews to funny tweets, It came from space and ate our brains has been popping up everywhere and we love that.

Today we have some exciting news. We’re announcing our continued support of It came from space and ate our brains, which means we’ll be bringing updates, new content and gameplay throughout the year! We’re planning four major patches titled: Harder, Better, Faster and (wait for it...) Stronger.



[h3]HARDER - Update Open Beta - play today![/h3]The Harder update will focus entirely on improving the game by addressing the feedback we’ve gathered from reviews, events and player messages. If you’re playing the game on Steam, you can help us by switching to the Beta branch, and testing the changes alongside our development team.

While there are over two dozen individual improvements, additions, tweaks and fixes, there are a couple of items that we’d like to highlight:

• All Campaign and Survival maps have been updated and improved for navigation (added navigation markers), performance (removed shadows cast by small objects) and gameplay (re-designed layouts)
  
• Rumble has been added to the game when using a controller
  
• We’ve added Korean and Traditional Chinese to the language options

The arrow is here to lead the way (in case you wondered which way the danger lurks)

[h3]Check out the full list of changes:[/h3]HARDER Update 1.1 Open Beta - Changelog

[h3]How to switch to Beta branch[/h3]Just follow these instructions:

1. Open your Steam Library
   
2. Right-click on It came from space and ate our brains
   
3. Select ‘Properties...’
   
4. Go to BETAS tab
   
5. Select beta - Public beta branch from the drop-down menu
   
6. Wait for the update to download and play!

[h3]Enjoy and discuss![/h3]Have fun playing the updated version of the game. Please bear in mind that it’s a beta build and you may encounter some bugs. If you do, please report them in HARDER - Update 1.1. Open Beta Steam forum dedicated to the beta. We appreciate all your feedback!

Now let’s shoot some aliens!

[h3]Alien Slayers![/h3]During this time of social distancing, the magic of the internet, as usual, has all the answers. We know that many of you prefer to do your team alien killing in person but, as you have probably noticed, we all have to play by different rules for a while. So, until your death-dealing club meets on the same couch again, Steam Remote Play has a solution that will work for everyone.

With Steam Remote Play, you and your squad can play ‘It came from space and ate our brains’ together, without moving from the couch. How? It’s as simple as repeating the game’s name ten times in a single breath. Uh, actually no. But you know what we mean.

[h3]How do I use Steam Remote Play Together?[/h3]

• Launch ‘It came from space and ate our brains’
  
• Open your Friends List and right-click to Invite your friends
  
• They accept the invite in the chat window
  
• Start slaying

To access your Friends List, you may need to open Steam Overlay (Shift+Tab by default).

[h3]But there’s also another way![/h3]Steam Remote Play Together is still quite a new addition to the Steam environment, so its performance may vary across regions. For those of you who experience any issues, we present an alternative.

You can play the classic version of the game (online mode included) by switching to another branch on Steam:

• Right-click on the game in the Steam Library
  
• Select Properties
  
• Head to the BETAS tab
  
• Choose classic - Original version of the game

[h3]Get to slaying aliens![/h3]Now that you’re armed and ready to face pink monsters, ping your friends and get ready to pew pew pew!

Having trouble making it through hordes of aliens? Here’s some gear that will help you to stay alive (for another few seconds, anyway):

Blue pick-ups:

• Medkit - A life-saving tool that will help you when the aliens get too close. Trust me, I’m the doctor. All players within the heal area will be granted a heart. Sounds more romantic than it really is. Can be used to revive teammates.

Oh, yeah, that’s better. Now back to killing.

Green pick-ups:

• Beams - Get a frickin' laser beam attached to your head! It will protect you from harm and harm others instead. Mwahahaha!
  
• Shield - Better than using your face.
  
• Mines - A powerful area-effect weapon. Step on it and it’ll explode after a while. Blink and you’re dead. Just run as fast as you can... and leave the aliens behind! Hey, alien, it would be a real shame if you stepped on THIS!
  
• Turret - Exterminate! Exterminate! Place it on the ground and it will automatically shoot enemies in its range. It’ll explode after a while, exterminating everything around it.

Who knew the alien invasion would be in neon pink?

Dear aliens, sorry we had to kill you. Sincerely, Earth.

Gold pick-ups:

• Money - Receive 2500 coins to spend on weapon upgrades!

Pink pick-ups:

• Random temporary weapon upgrade - Lasts for 30s and is always one upgrade level higher then your current weapon level.

I need this. Not want, need.

Keep an eye out for these items while exploring locations full of aliens to delay your inevitable death just a little...
