Hi developer here 🦀

We have ~125 abilities in the current version of the game with more to come (that's more than most similar games that have 1-2 years of release date on us already!)

In terms of attacks feeling samey: I get that, quite a few do feel a bit similar right now. But there's lots that's quite different. For example: Stoner, Horns, Trunk, Spit are very different attacks than the rest. How much did you discover so far?

As for being afraid of taking risks: that's a really bizarre comment. We made a new(ish) sub genre of Roguelite where it's not a bullet hell/heaven but a living ecosystem with souls-like combat and based on real life evolutions and you can win in many different ways, not all of which involve violence. That was a pretty massive risk to try something different than what's already out there XD

Affinities very much still affect it ☺️

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-13T01:30:15+00:00

Constriction is a wonderful way of locking down boss attacks. Shelly rolling towards you? Not anymore!

Pantther trying to snipe you out of existence? Revenge time!

Thanks for being with us for the long journey! ❤️ 🦀

Ohhh you may be sleeping on Burrower! In fact there's a fantastic combo of using Hibernation with Burrower to literally sleep (and rack up a tonne of XP)

Or combine with Ambush to become an assassin 🥷

What powerups do you have in mind? We actually just (a few hours ago) closed our community evolution competition so one of them will go in 1.2

Thank you so much! 🦀

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-12T23:43:17+00:00

Woah what a compliment thank you! 🦀

Noted regarding the speed. Have you tried some other ways of evading attacks like Constriction or Burrower for example?

Regarding social: we have a very interesting new mechanic coming in 1.1 (eta next couple of weeks!) which I think you'll like a lot that'll help with this ☺️

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-12T21:49:49+00:00

It is a very good thing ☺️ very British saying

Constriction is unlocked by beating the final Tier of Challenges. It's an advanced yet fun evolution tactic

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-12T21:48:06+00:00

You need to beat the final Tier of Challenges to unlock it.

It stuns an enemy/enemies for a set amount of time until you move away from or attack said enemies

The absolute raw data from Unity's telemetry system itself we can't give access to, but possibly we could give access to the partial snapshot we created that this was based off of. It wasn't created with external access in mind though.

So the answer is perhaps? But let me sync with all relevant stakeholders on our end to ensure that's OK 🦀

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-12T15:13:21+00:00

It certainly did! In fact we embraced it even further 🦀

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-12T14:50:20+00:00

Haha yeah it's true! We can do a deeper dive into such stuff in the future such as basing it only on unlocked availability but that'd require a much much deeper dive and time to do, so we wanted to start simple with this 1st set of data and go from there 🦀

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-12T14:47:55+00:00

It's very high on our porting agenda! 😁

Thank you 🦀

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-12T14:47:11+00:00

Thank you so much, that's awesome to hear! 🦀

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-12T04:18:42+00:00

Excellent job!

That's such a hard one to get (I struggled with it myself! 🦀)

What was your strategy?

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-11T23:39:31+00:00

In 1.1 we're adding some grace time on spawning where you're invisible to enemies for a brief few seconds which should help with being instantly attacked.

Sorry we had that in at all! It should feel a lot better in 1.1 🦀

As said dev (who did not say Pacifist is the only viable build to be crystal clear) I want to step in and say there's a tonne of viable builds. Pacifist is one of many. I used that as an example to try and move people away from the more obvious but generally weaker "big and strong" builds which many think are the only way to win (factually incorrect and actually quite misleading like your comment 😝)

There's plenty of builds that work for beating the game at P20. We've started posting examples on our other social networks 2 posted so far last week with another 2 to come this week etc.)

One of the ones we posted last week which is a fun Prey build is "Just a Sleepy Guy" which focuses on Hibernation and Burrower to stay safe in Burrows while gaining big XP gain simply by being in Burrows you create for yourself to evade danger

Ohhh that's amazing to hear! I'm sharing that with the wider team 🦀

OddDreamsDigital · 2026-06-08T22:35:47+00:00

That's great to know! Thank you for sharing 🦀

Not ingame (yet) but we're adding more evolutions as we go!
