Along with new customizations, we fixed numerous bugs and balanced a few things in the game, especially the Mechs. Be sure to give them a whirl and let us know your feedback. They've been given a .67s stun on their smash if the player didn't land a fatal hit.

Invasion of New Content + Free Weekend Celebration!
Attention: Humans, Squids, fans of the game and those who have yet to make up their minds - the Squids from Space dev team has just launched ton of new content, which has more than doubled the size of the game!
Starting today and thru this weekend, anyone can enjoy the epic battles with a FREE WEEKEND! If you enjoy the game, tell a friend! If they like it, we're also offering a limited time 20% off discount for purchase.
Free Weekend Runs: Thurs Oct 12th 10am (PDT) - Oct 16th 10am (PDT)
What's New?
NEW MAPS: Evergreen Trail: Located just outside of town, where the Squids have launched an assault on small group of campers. In this brand new forest map, there are 4x4's, bridge jumps and a different take on resource allocations that can turn the tide of battle at any moment.
Mars Crash Site: Shortly after a massive Squid saucer crashed, the humans continue their assault on the Squids. Using vent jets to jump around the map, this map allows for a fast-action mayhem, on the martian surface. Let us know your thoughts on the new layout, as we continue to create content for Squids from Space!
NEW SQUID WEAPONS: Micro-shard Accelerator: A vital component of the Squids' aresenal, this mid-range barrel weapon fires an extremely large ammo clip filled with tons of tiny shards that shred enemies to bits. Not even the family pack of band-aids are going to save you from this thing..
Mini-Squid Gun: A large tank filled with tiny angry squids that fires multiple "squid bowls" at an enemies face to take them down. Each face-hugging squid bowl that smashes onto a human's face will slowly suck the life out of them. While the entry-level Mini-squid gun can do some serious damage, the upgraded version at Tech 2 can kill, as it increases the ammo-tank from 8 to12 squid-bowls.
NEW HUMAN WEAPONS: Chemical Launcher: This handy heavy cannon fires grenades filled with a liquid chemical agent. If the grenade hits an enemy or wall, it will explode and disperse and area-of-effect cloud, which will cause enemies to cough, choke, sputter and lose lots of hit points.
NEW VEHICLES: In repsonse to the Squid Crawler Tank, the Humans have had to come up with a heavy-armored tank. The A behemoth human mech tank allows players to make their way into battle to pulberize some squids with a heavy ground-pound. The mech is also armed with a shotgun to take out any remaining squid-bowls that may be jumping toward a comrades face. The mech can also launch a bevy of high-powered rockets, if another player jumps into the tank to help out!
We have also added 4x4s, and a brand new Spider Tank for the Squids!
NEW CUSTOMIZATIONS: Players can now pick and choose from a massive array of gear, hats, squid suits, colors and more. Kit out your avatar with more and more unlocks, as your experience continues to grow to unlock even more items.
BALANCE, BALANCE, BALANCE: Nothing is more important in a multiplayer game than team balance. We continue to adjust and tweak Squid and Human balance daily, thanks to constant playtests with our community. Keep up the feedback and the discord comments - we are listening and updating all the time, and we are always looking for those moments of "OP!!" and items that feel under-powered as we continue to push new content.
We will have some new updates and surprises this week as well for those who participate and pick up the game before the end of the month!
Thanks for playing, we'll see you on the battlefield!
Enjoy!

GET FABULOUS! Customizations are here!
GREETINGS, EARTHLINGS!
Phase One update has been released!
Players can finally get their hands on the new Moonbase level and play around with our shiny new character customization system: "GET FABULOUS!"
If you're a new player and just starting out in Squids from Space, you'll start out as either Squid or Humans with a base set of gear, skins, and color swatches. As you play, you will gain experience points for every round you complete. The more experience you collect, the more you will level up and unlock even more ways to create original personalized and unique Human avatars, Squid tanks, Squid Soldiers, Squid Bowls, and more!
Here's a list of some of the major releases TODAY, with unlockable milestones you'll hit as you battle online:
At level 1 you can Get Fabulous, with a base set editable character features for both Human and Squids!
When you reach level 10 you'll see items like:
- New hats and sunglasses!
- Master Sergeant rank title!
Reaching Level 20 makes you an Early Access Contributor! You'll see items like:
- Sweet skins for your weapons, like Cobalt Blue or Hot Pink!
- Early Access Contributor title!
When you reach level 35 you'll see items like:
- Astronaut gear set for humans!
- Lieutenant rank title!
The mighty players who reach Level 75 will get access to:
- The kickass Warmaster Crawler Tank gear set!
- Commander rank title!
And if you are among the few who reach Level 101, you will become an Early Access Veteran! You'll see rare items like:
- Rare skins for your weapons like Golden, Diamond, and the Squid-tech
- Transparent set!
- Early Access Veteran title!
This is just a small sampling of the exciting in-game gear and customizations that are coming to Squids from Space. As you continue to battle online and level up, you will continue to unlock even more weapon sets, unique gear items, content, and colors. We will even be releasing some limited edition gear, titles and customizations JUST for our Early Access players. As the game continues to grow, we are excited to see our community explore, design, and build custom team sets for #TeamHuman military soldiers and #TeamSquid alien invaders.
If you see a weapon during a game that someone else has unlocked and you'd like to try it, you can always exterminate them and steal their weapon. You will be able to enjoy using and playing with any "locked" weapon on the battlefield for as long as you can survive during that round.
We are delivering a large amount of content with this update and we can't wait to see what kind of crazy and unique looks our community creates with in the upcoming weeks. We're also interested to hear from YOU, in terms of what new items, gear sets, colors, and objects you'd like to see in our next update. If there's something you really want to see in the game, visit our Discord chat and let us know! The more people who holler at us for content, the more likely we'll be able to make it so.
Thanks for checking out the game. We're just getting started, and we're excited to continue delivering fresh content to our fans, and to continue dropping new weapons, gear, and surprises in the coming weeks.
With love and death rays,
The SQUIDS FROM SPACE Development Team
Known Issues:
- Get Fabulous is best used with mouse/keyboard. Controller is functional, but needs some tweaking, improvement and bug fixes.
- We have a cheeky crash that we're currently hunting down, however let us know if you see a lot more crashes than last update.
- We have a lot of optimizations ahead of us, so any lag over 150+ ping and you may experience jittery gameplay
- Map rotation has been disabled at this time. We have a desync bug that has returned. We are investigating it now and will provide a hotfix ASAP.
We've started a Dev Blog!
We realize that it can seem like some Devs disappear from the face of the planet. Behind the scenes, we are very much hard at work, but can't always release a new build immediately and as often as we would like. Especially, when more time is needed to implement and test larger new features.
However, we really don't want to lose communication with all of you who have been following us and waiting patiently for updates. SO! We've started a Dev Blog in hopes to bridge that gap in between each update.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Open Alpha for the upcoming Moonbase map and provided us with wonderful feedback and ideas! We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of what is yet to come over the next couple weeks. Please keep an eye out for our next big update which will contain the Moonbase map, 4x4's, and customizations! ETA is set for the end of this month.
If you'd like to keep up with our progress, please join our Community Discord channel: http://discord.gg/ZkhScjJ
We'll be posting screenshots and updates here. You'll also be able to interact with us directly, ask questions, submit ideas, and much much more! Working with the community is important to us, so we hope to see you there!
With love and deathrays!

The early development for the Moonbase map is now live! If you'd like to participate in the early development for this map, please visit the link below:
We need your help deciding what should go into the next map!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via the Steam forums, Twitter @SquidsFromSpace, or Discord: http://discord.gg/ZkhScjJ
Have fun! Happy Squidding!
P.S. This map is SUPER early in development. Art is primitive and untextured. Expect many bugs. The purpose of this event is to find out whether or not the players will think the concept is fun. We will further develop the map based on the feedback we receive from the community!
