"The Corrupted Rifts" Update
We’re happy to announce that we have dropped another We Are Screwed! update for you. The Corrupted Rifts update introduces side missions that take players into twisted universes, where they need to deliver a Corrupted Module before it overheats and destroys the ship. These timed challenges consist of multiple levels where players will be able to test their skills in fast-paced missions.
The goal of Corrupted Rifts missions is to deliver the dangerous cargo to “The Sealer'', the only being in the multiverse who can defuse it. This rat-like creature will generously reward players with module variants, passive modules and in-game currency. Full update notes can be read below!
We can’t wait for you to see what we’ve prepared for you, and we dearly hope you enjoy it! As a developer, we would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on our game, it helps us greatly to improve it and add more exciting content. Therefore, we would like to invite you to follow us on social media, which we are regularly monitoring and would love to communicate with you there, as well as our Discord

0.4.53 Patch Notes
June 7th 2023
Changes:
- Added Black Hole Turret
- Added Star Blaster
- Added Exting-Squish to give players a second option to extinguish fires
- Carrying heavy washing machines to Scrappy didn't feel as rewarding as we wanted it to be, so we added some variety to the amount of scrap you earn from it. Heavier items will reward more, and lighter ones will reward less

- Replaced input system to improve game performance
- Added input remapper to allow players to reassign controls on their input device
- Nerfed the amount of items spawned by a clean bot in Infested Swamps

- Improve BF-S-G penalty cooldown to make it less punishing
Fixes:
- Added a cooldown indicator for chargeable modules such as the BF-S-G and the new Black Hole Turret
- Added a cooling mechanic to overheating modules such as the Gatling Gun. Spraying those turrets with a Fire Extinguisher or the new Exting-Squish item will cause them to overheat slower and cool down faster

- Fixed an issue where Dusty would get stuck while cleaning

Known issues:
