The 'Uprising' update (v1.1.1) is here! 'Uprising' our way of celebrating the remarkable journey CounterAttack has taken with the incredible support and feedback from our passionate community. Together, we're reaching new horizons! The Uprising update coincides with the Nintendo Switch release, continuing cross-platform support with Steam and Xbox and the kind-of-ridiculous ever increasing number of attachments.

The Uprising update brings several new features:

-Improved Player Ship Selector
-25 New Attachments, including an attachment to surpass Battle Pods Adj
-2 New Levels: 'Anomaly' a new special level, and the elusive 'Gate' level (can you find it?)
-Improved background graphics for several levels
-New Secrets (some are VERY secret)
-Capital Ships carry over between levels (HIGHLY requested)
-You can refund accidental upgrades by holding space breaks and pressing 'buy powerup' again
-Some tweaks/improvements to boss fights
-New Unity Engine (2018->2020)
-Many Fixes
-Better performance

All 8 Ready For Uprising

I hope to see lots of pilots online! A big thanks to everybody who participated in the Beta. The bug reports and feedback were invaluable!
