Spring into action with a festive new challenge. Through April 9th, REVO features decorated launch capsules and some mysterious neon space eggs to collect. Unlock something sweet to keep if you collect them all.
Gotta Catch ‘Em All
Hop into the game’s Settings screen to enable the Cosmic Egg event and then just play as you usually would. All play modes and ship selections are fair game. Find as many space eggs as you can while you do battle among the stars.
I thought some of you might want to know about recent updates on Friday, Saturday, and today. Some very tiny changes were made each time, mostly to correct for a mistake that blocked in game events from running properly.
v1.0.10.1 simply updated the name of an event.
v1.0.10.2 was an emergency workaround to force the April 1st event, Glitch Day, to be active when it was failing to activate on its own.
v1.0.10.3 appears to correct the date comparison issue and restores normal event behavior.
Please be sure you have the latest version in order to enjoy the complete intended experience.
April First Folly
For 24-hours only, REVO will turn the game on its head for the first of April. You better be ready for anything this Saturday, but don’t take it too seriously. The joke’s on you if you enable Special Events from the Settings screen, but if you already enjoy a challenge and have a good sense of humor, you’re going to be quite amused. In fact, you might even wish for it to stay this way, but at the stroke of midnight, the nonsense will be put to rest.
Livestreams & Laughs
Or if you’d like to experience the game vicariously through another poor soul, consider giving one of these long time supporters of REVO a follow and a watch. They’ve expressed interest in bringing REVO back to their stream, possibly this weekend.
REVO just received a small update that will affect nothing today save for a fix for a minor bug introduced into boss battles via the last update. However, it gets the game ready for April’s festivities as well as adds a notice on the title screen about upcoming events so you can know when to expect something special to happen in game.
Lucky Stars & Free Access
This is no fool’s gold. REVO just introduced a new in game event. When you boot up from now until the end of March, you can enable the Lucky Stars event. You can fly a green ship, collect sparkly gold coins, and enjoy a magically delicious variation on the most powerful super weapon in the game: the Rainbow Super Beam.
Free Access Playtest
Don’t have a copy of REVO but want to see what these in game events are all about? You can try the full game for free until March 20th. To get free access, visit the REVO store page on Steam and click the Request Access button where it says Join the REVO Playtest.
In exchange for the free festive fun, please consider sharing your feedback with Cosmic Misfit Studio and report any problems you may have.

February's Lovewar event will last until March.
Ship Count Fix + Menu Polish, etc.
This is just a little update mostly to correct a ship count bug in the HUD.
Also includes some nice adjustments to the title screen menu layout as well as the About screen layout. On top of that, the About screen now includes mention of the game's soundtrack.
Please enjoy the correction and added polish! More is in the works.
Happy REVO Day!
Can you believe it's already been one year since REVO was released in stores? To celebrate this, the REVO Soundtrack has just today released in stores as well. You can listen to a preview, get a copy, or wishlist it right here:
Can you believe it’s already been one year since REVO launched in stores? In celebration, the original game soundtrack is coming to stores as well. You can preview it right now and also show support with a wishlist.
Don’t miss the August 24th release!
This original soundtrack is perfect for battling through a sinister space storm as well as giving a boost of ammo to tackle everyday life. Everyone is invited on REVO’s first birthday to celebrate the release of the REVO Soundtrack.
REVO has been out for nearly 10 months now! It has received several updates for fixes and improvements as well as some holiday fun. This, however, is the first time a totally new game mode has been added since release.
What it is
Boss Rush is all about battling the biggest, toughest enemies in the game. In the main campaign, you fight through waves of enemies before you encounter any boss, but in this mode you encounter nothing but boss after boss.
How it works
Boss Rush is unlocked when you complete the main campaign. If you’ve already completed the main campaign in a previous version, then as soon as you boot up this new version of REVO, you will see “Play Boss Rush” on the title screen.
You will still fight, dock, reload, and launch just as before, so it’s not one endless run without any rest, but each time you start up REVO, the Boss Rush progress is reset and you start with almost no resources and must play all the bosses in order to complete the new campaign.
Since this is treated as a separate campaign of new, boss only levels, you earn separate personal best scores for each boss you defeat, which then combine into a total Boss Rush score. Although it is separate from the main campaign, your ship and weapon options do carry over, so anything you’ve unlocked in the main campaign is available to use when you play the Boss Rush.
Feel the rush
REVO’s Boss Rush mode offers a new way to play, focuses entirely on boss battles, packs a lot of action and variety into a small space, and provides a new high score to track your mastery. Plus there is now a better foundation for possible other new modes in the future. Whether you’ve played it before or not, I hope you’ll fire up REVO, unlock Boss Rush, and see what it’s like for yourself.
The first anniversary of REVO’s release in stores is almost upon us! I plan to publish another update in celebration and hope to include one or two of the features that have been repeatedly requested.
