The full game, set to release in 2024, will include 15 levels each with 60+ waves of enemies. Utilize a wide array of customizable ship classes, each with its own strengths and abilities, and hundreds of upgrades. Experiment with different combinations of weapons to develop the ultimate defense strategy and outsmart your foes. This demo update has reinvented the tech trees, rebalanced combat, and a beautiful new UI. 

 

"We have been spending a lot of time with our playtesters and fans the last couple months. With all the feedback we got from the initial demo, we feel we have created something truly special and we can’t wait to share it with players." said Jake, Creative director of Nibble & Byte.
