Patch Notes: v1.7.6Apr 29, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsBarbuta Fixed an issue where one puzzle would be unsolvable under certain conditions. Planet Zoldath Fixed an issue with things being temporarily invisible after teleporting. Patch Notes: v1.7.5Apr 7, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsBarbuta Fixed an issue with ladder visibility. Caramel Caramel Fixed a potential crash when idling on Game Over screen. Ninpek Fixed a bug where lightning was failing to warn before striking. Rakshasa Fixed an issue with an enemy attacking from off-screen. Warptank Fixed a bug where music wouldn't change as you transitioned between screens. Patch Notes: v1.7.2.2Mar 17, 2025 - Community Announcementsːufoshockː Small patch to address a couple of serious bugs introduced in the previous patch (1.7.2.1): Fixed: Barbuta "ROOMS SEEN" stat was not counting properly, making the gift impossible to obtain. Fixed: Crash when assigning a pad in Joypad Config. Patch Notes: v1.7.2.1Mar 16, 2025 - Community Announcementsːufocampː UFO 50 Various performance optimizations. Fixed: Speed records for completing Avianos and for completing the whole collection inadvertently shared the same variable. Note: Players who already completed all 50 games likely have incorrect times for Avianos speedruns. Unfortunately, we're unable to recover that data. Sorry about that. :( Fixed: Interface for viewing your whole collection completion times was inconsistent with how it's handled elsewhere. Fixed: Changing language in profile settings didn't change the language of the Mood setting. New: You can now reset joypad controls back to the defaults by holding both shoulder buttons on the Joy Config menu for 2 seconds. This was needed for Steam Deck players especially. Some attract modes that were broken were re-recorded. Attactics Tweak: The first campaign scenario now shows a single grunt instead of a row of grunts, since it was confusing when juxtaposed against the tip about forming columns. Fixed: Hit boxes on enraged grunts were too large, causing them to sometimes get hit by assassin daggers that should miss them. Fixed: It was possible to glitch the SLOW-DOWN cheat and get unlimited moves. Avianos Fixed: The AI was making some minor reasoning errors in its building logic when gods were scrambled. Bug Hunter Fixed: When a Dragonfloosh turned into an egg, its drone did not die right away and could be rescued by a new Dragonfloosh spawning in. Fixed: Pushing a drone into anti-energy produced a larvae that could still fly. Fixed: Pushing an invincible Dragonfloosh onto bug spray caused a repeating audio glitch. Fixed: In making movement predictions, the game didn't properly account for pushing Dragonflooshes in or out of invincibility range. Balance: Dragonflooshes no longer will spawn a drone if a preexisting drone already protects them. Fixed: Using Resupply to add a third anti-energy created an explosion instead of an egg. Fixed: There were inconsistencies in what would happen if you pushed an egg into anti-energy. Now, it should always cause eggs to hatch. Balance: Cost of Burst lowered to 3. Fixed: Maximize now applies its effect to Maneuver and Engage. Cyber Owls Fixed: Crash after entering the line-of-sight of a destroyed Spiderbot in Guin's Antarctica mission. Hyper Contender Fixed: Playing a draft battle would disrupt the highest level stat shown in the record box on the library screen. Fixed: The text "DRAFT YOUR CONTENDER" wasn't localized. Fixed: The AI would attempt to deflect Brazz's rockets at times when it wasn't possible. Lords of Diskonia Balance: Now ensures that in Streak mode and 2P Full War mode, both players will receive the same 3 initial skill options. Fixed: The aiming skill was occasionally misleading, implying collisions that wouldn't happen in practice. This is now fixed in 90% of cases. Fixed: The "scenario losses" stat wasn't saving properly. Mini & Max Fixed: Missing wall in the book interior. Fixed: If you earned the angel wings but didn't collect th...Patch Notes: v1.7.0.2Feb 15, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsSmall update that fixes a crash when exiting the Joypad Config menu without a controller plugged in. ːufostareːPatch Notes: v1.7.0.1Feb 8, 2025 - Community Announcementsːufocampː UFO 50 It's now possible to have Player 1 on keyboard and Player 2 on a single connected gamepad. Added a fail safe to prevent one gamepad from being assigned to both players. Made it possible to assign "no gamepad" to a player by pressing a keyboard key instead of a gamepad button when prompted. Memory optimizations for potential performance gains. Elfazar's Hat Prevented the minigame from generating unwinnable maps. Fixed a statistics inconsistency. Grimstone Fixed: Dying and reviving in Santonio church would sometimes cause "invisible walls" to appear in town until you left town. Fixed: Spaces missing between "STAT UP!" text during level up. Pilot Quest Fixed: Could walk through a wall in the Wild Zone to return home. UFO 50 Won at the New York Game Awards - Best Indie Game!Jan 29, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35815758/e0f10b65ffcc169cd490543205bcefdf2bc83116.png Excited to announce that last week UFO 50 was honored at the 2025 New York Game Awards with an "Off Broadway Award" for Best Indie Game!

Until next time! ːufostareːPatch Notes: v1.6.2.4Jan 25, 2025 - Community Announcementsːufocampː UFO 50 More cut off strings fixed in non-English languages. Keyboard glyphs won't be displayed in prompts while using Steam Deck. You can now reroute different controller devices to different players from Joypad Config. Dynamic controller reassignment automatically ensures that connected controllers are paired efficiently. For example, if only 1 controller is connected, it will always be assigned to player 1 and not player 2. Various small adjustments. The Big Bell Race Made UFOs explode if they go off-screen, in the rare case they clip out of bounds. Bushido Ball Fixed: Crash when charge bar tried to charge more than 3 bars. Campanella 2 Ironed out a number of level generation edge case bugs. Shortened attract mode. Campanella 3 Fixed a minor graphical glitch with the wave score display. Prevented certain transitions from being able to cancel out of a Game Over state. Cyber Owls Fixed: Game did not continue to Part 2 after rescuing a captured owl even if all the missions were complete. Fixed: Could get stuck in an infinite death loop in the final area of Octavio's Antarctica mission. Golfaria Fixed: Crash when water strider enemy fell into pits or drowned. Grimstone Fixed: An issue with floor heights would sometimes cause the player to bump into "invisible walls" on the map. Fixed some localization issues: Equipped items were only being displayed in English and some stats weren't lining up properly in non-English languages. Fixed: Dead players could still use their skills from the map menu. Fixed: Healing dead players from the map menu would revive them. Fixed: At level 40, Rufus wasn't actually getting his SURVIVE Level 3 perk. Fixed: Certain enemy attacks that inflicted BLINDNESS, POISON, PARALYSIS, and CONFUSION on the player were always resisted, regardless of the player's RES stat. (Fixing this does make some enemies trickier to fight... but also more interesting?) There was a staircase that appeared after a certain boss was defeated but would disappear if you left the dungeon and returned. This led people to believe they were softlocked if they left before using the staircase, even though they weren't. Now the staircase never disappears. Rail Heist On Rescue Mission, if you freed Brand by breaking the floor below him, it did not count as a rescue. It is now possible to replay the ending so that you can see improvements in your star count and associated ranking. Vainger Fixed: Issues with boss and player getting pushed out of the arena during final boss fight. Fixed: Flickering on orbs and head when final boss' final form moves. Fixed: Flickering on certain objects when respawning on final boss' final form. Change: Made final boss fight's final form arena slightly narrower (2¼ screens wide instead of 3). Valbrace Fixed: Crash when attempting to move the Formid Head warp cursor out of the level bounds to the East or South. Fixed: Enemies could initiate combat while making a wish. Fixed: Red Knight didn't properly give Red Coin in a...Patch Notes: v1.5.1Dec 23, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThis patch is focused on localization fixes and improvements. In the new year, we plan to return to fixing regular bugs. ːufocampː UFO 50 Worked together with Warlocs (localization group) to fix text that was cut off or going out of bounds because of text limits. There are still some existing cases that we're aware of - we'll include fixes for those in future patches. Made some slight tweaks to marked letters in our fonts to make them read better in non-English languages.

All proceeds go to the VGHF and their awesome preservation work. You can find a link to purchase the print on their donation page: ːufocherryː https://gamehistory.org/donate/ That's not the only way to support the fundraiser, however! From that link you can do a direct donation, join their Patreon, or purchase other exclusive merchandise. Personally, I've been really enjoying their vintage video game magazine subscription, which sends a random old game mag to your mailbox each month. For many years, the VGHF and its members have done a lot of great work, like saving (real life) lost games, preserving art and marketing materials at a high quality, and bringing to light game development stories that would otherwise fade away quietly. If you want to see what they got up to this year, check out their 2024 Year in Review: https://gamehistory.org/our-2024-in-review/ Given UFO 50's themes and the fact that we were already fans of the VGHF... we were really excited to get the opportunity to work with them on this.

Barbuta Fixed a bug where exchanging from Rod back to Blood Sword would equip you with Normal Sword instead, until you respawned. Combatants Fixed: If red ants began combat with zero health, they would win the fight. Fixed: Retry Mission confirmation was not working properly with analog sticks. Fixed: In some maps multiple food was being generated in one space. Fist Hell Added protections to prevent softlocking in the elevator. Onion Delivery Fixed a bug with how driving over dirt manipulates speed. Fixed busted collision with zombies and slime bursts and waves. Patch Notes: v1.4.1Nov 2, 2024 - Community Announcementsːufostareː Small patch. Mini & Max Fixed: Items left in backpack weren't saving between sessions. Hot Foot Fixed crashing at the start of rounds. Was able to verify the fix this time!

We hope you enjoy the merch, as well! ːufocampːːufocherryːPatch Notes: v1.4.0Oct 27, 2024 - Community Announcementsːufocampː UFO 50 Fixed: Choice of FILL for Display Size wasn't getting properly saved. Various other fixes and adjustments. Avianos Fixed: Starting a custom game with castle placement set to either P1 Favored or P2 Favored would cause the game to freeze. Bug Hunter Fixed: Incorrectly-colored pixels on orange eggs. Tweak: New difficulty jumps added at job 10 and job 13. If starting from the beginning is getting you down, try to have more fun and work-less. Campanella 2 Fixed an issue where you could exit a ladder and get out of bounds in the final stage. Campanella 3 Prevented a potential softlock on the final boss. Moved the Gold/Cherry clear check to before the ending/credits. Caramel Caramel Fixed an issue where player 2 would get player 1's sprite after collecting a wrench and regaining full life. Cyber Owls Fixed: Guin's collision with breakable crates was fully borked. Fixed: Guard in Green Keycard Room in Moscow mission did not patrol properly. Fixed: Shooting Hackoon during his intro dialog would launch him irretrievably offscreen. (For real this time.) Fixed: Hackoon had an invisible pixel in his foot in his sideways-facing frames. Fixed: After getting knocked leftward into a wall, Hackoon became stuck until he was reset by a player death. Hackoon no longer gets stuck in a loop trying to shoot Guin repeatedly even when she's not within LOS. Fist Hell Fixed: In Survival Mode, generating snails would crash the game. Fixed: Enemies would sometimes stop moving and reacting. Hot Foot Fixed: Sometimes still crashed at the start of a match. Fixed: Yet another crash bug, related to Jerry's wavy bag ability. Hyper Contender Tweak: On new profiles, Brazz's controls will default to consistent instead of reversed. Magic Garden Fixed: Sometimes a jump would stop short and you'd land on the adjacent tile. When placing potions, the game will more thoroughly search for an empty tile and actively avoids the player's position. Also, potions will not get activated by the player while the potion is appearing. This way, the player has more control over when they activate potions. Mini & Max Fixed: If you collected an item immediately after breaking it out of a rock, then the item would always look like a backpack regardless of what it actually was. Fixed: If you put a train robber in your backpack, it had no icon in the top left. Fixed: Prior patches could corrupt items saved in Mini's backpack so that they would spawn the wrong secondary item. For example a fungal block might spawn a random object instead of the mushroom it is supposed to. Fixed: Amoebas could eat Gearface. On the one hand this was very funny and cool, on the other hand, it allowed players to bypass the entire final level. Fixed: Because of an error in a prior patch, Mini could no longer shrink directly on the doorknob (post opening the way to doorknob palace). Fixed: Multiple cases of softlocks cause by Mini entering a place that was too small for the size of item she was carrying. Mooncat ...Patch Notes: v1.3.1Oct 11, 2024 - Community Announcementsːufocampː UFO 50 Fixed: Video Settings menu could crash if you had recently changed display devices. Fixed: Title screen jingles weren't playing on some slower computers. Various other fixes and adjustments. Barbuta Fixed certain rooms not registering as seen in Statistics. Block Koala Stopped door close sound from triggering every frame. Bug Hunter Balance: Tunnel and Radiate lowered to 3. Campanella Fixed an issue where Tomato boss could clip through the ceiling. Campanella 2 Fixed Gold and Cherry ending text and images being flipped. Fixed issue where you could see a thruster effect from Pilot's ship even though he wasn't there. Fixed an issue where using a normal key-door shortcut would grant you access to the special (cherry) version of the final stage. Campanella III Fixed: Score record wasn't taking bonus score into account. Caramel Caramel Prevented Stage 3 Miniboss from clipping out of bounds. Cyber Owls Fixed: Unlocking a door in Guin's stages opened all doors of the same color. Fixed: Dying to Hackoon and re-encountering him did not properly reset the fight. Fixed: Cracked walls flashed upon retrying the Moscow stage. Fixed: Shooting Hackoon during his intro dialog launched him irretrievably offscreen. Fixed: Could get trapped behind locked doors in Guin's missions. Fixed: Sometimes pressing against walls in Guin's mission didn't always put you flush against the wall. Fixed: AI in Hackoon fight frequently freezed up. Fixed: Getting blown up and knocked into an item as Guin could cause a softlock or crash. Hot Foot Fixed: Another crash that could sometimes happen at the start of matches. Hyper Contender Fixed: Brazz AI was inverting up/down buttons when upside down. Mini & Max Fixed: Amoebas could eat the water bear and prevent you from completing the water bear mission. Night Manor Fixed: Fungicide ingredients could incorrectly reappear or disappear in the house depending on what was already in the bowl. Fixed: Lighting the candelabra would cause the journal entry on table to become invisible. Fixed: By firing and rebuilding the armed crossbow, you could increase your collected items percentage above 100%. Ninpek Fixed jitter on Boss. Onion Delivery Fixed: Sounds of the city continued to play into the ending. Fixed some miscellaneous small graphical glitches. Overbold Fixed: Hitting Fire 1 and Fire 2 at the same time in the shop caused a crash. Paint Chase Balance: Cherry goal lowered to 500. Pilot Quest Slard will push you off of him if you get stuck on him after he moves. In the Wild Zone, the "NOTHING HERE" textbox is replaced with a floating text. (This is partly because this textbox was being exploited to destroy bombs, which is funny but...) Pingolf Fixed a rare softlock where you could get stuck rolling back and forth on top of a pin. Rock On! Island GIVE UP will now ask for a confirmation before ending the level. Fixed: Gold and cherry ending texts were reversed. Star Waspir Increased Red Wasp's wide shot damage: 25 -> 35 Incre...Patch Notes: v1.2.2.1Oct 3, 2024 - Community Announcementsːufoshockː Fixed a bug that was introduced in the previous patch (1.2.2).Patch Notes: v1.2.2Oct 2, 2024 - Community Announcementsːufocampː UFO 50 Fixed: Account and config files could sometimes get corrupted and cause crashes that prevented the game from being played. Now these files are repaired automatically. SOFT CRT shader tweaked because certain colors were not displaying properly. Controller icon type settings would get lost when you unplugged and plugged in a controller Various other adjustments. Bug Hunter Fixed: You could earn gold and cherry while doing a practice run. Balancing: Raised the price of Collect in 2P Bushido Ball Fixed: Lob was still going far behind opponent in Hyper mode. Camouflage Fixed: Did not reset your speed run time when starting a new game. Combatants 2P Versus: Now poison only activates when one side has a single ant and no queens remaining, instead of when food runs out. Cyber Owls Fixed: Crash when entering penultimate room in Guin's first mission after leaving crosshair at the top of the screen during Engle's mission. Fixed: Blowing Hackoon up with a grenade during his intro dialog will launch him irretrievably offscreen. Devilition Fixed: Canceling detonation on the boss level reverted you back to normal non-boss music. Fist Hell Fixed: If a snail fell on a player, the player would begin sliding left or right permanently. Grimstone Fixed bug where sorting inventory would cause 4BARREL shotgun to disappear from the inventory. Fixed: Lava was not staying destroyed after Scoria Worm was defeated. Hot Foot Fixed: Game would sometimes crash at the start of a match. Fixed: Points could be scored after the match was over. Fixed: Suze can't slip but her AI still avoided puddles. Fixed: AI teammate would run towards threats. Balancing: Threshold for achieving a blowout was made more lenient. You now get a blowout if your opponent's final score is under 10. Mini & Max Fixed: Can no longer glitch Mini through the door and straight to the ending. Fixed: When you defeat Max's fleas, they now stay defeated. Fixed: In some instances, walking off a ledge in the micro world would lead to all enemies being destroyed in the small world. Fixed: Using the anklet upgrade, it was possible to fall out the bottom of the toy train. Overbold Fixed: Lure mines were resetting enemy behavior and short circuiting projectile firing. Paint Chase Balancing: Points required to earn an extra life lowered from 150 to 120 Planet Zoldath Fixed: It was possible to drop a shrink ray on a log opening where it could no longer be retrieved. Porgy Fixed: Exploration music starts early when switching from base 1 to base 2 or vice versa. Valbrace Fixed: Crash when attempting to steal from Crone while she has no stock. Fixed: Could steal last item from crone's inventory with impunity. Fixed: Casting a spell does not freeze certain enemy projectiles as they perform their pre-launch motion. Fixed: Crash when flipping a slime trap switch before the slime finishes falling.
