Update 1.20 is Live!

2026-03-08

Good Sol to You, Strategists! Update 1.20 is now available, focused on cleaner pacing, better stability, and stronger foundations for future content. What’s New in 1.20 • Dialogue Pass: Filler dialogue has been removed, leaving the most important story moments and key interactions. • UI Text Fixes: Text rendering issues have been resolved (including engine-side improvements from the Unity 6 upgrade). • Tower Deletion Visual Fix: Deleting towers while the game is paused now correctly shows the visual deletion state. • Tile Occupancy Fix: Fixed an issue where a tile could still appear occupied after a tower had already been deleted. Under the Hood This update also includes major technical improvements to speed up development and improve long-term stability: • Better internal automation for versioning, pre-build prep, tagging, and release flow.

• Ongoing code refactors for readability and maintainability, especially in core systems. • Groundwork for future extensibility (including long-term plans around custom content workflows). Thank you for the continued feedback and support. Every report and suggestion helps shape the game.

Enjoyable game. The trick to win is not spending energy that you do not have to (think repairs) and having enough generators (five, minimum). Also, the pause button (spacebar) is your friend. The game needs volume sliders. The turrets can get a bit loud. I'd also recommend an even larger alien for the last night. Maybe something that is five columns wide (so it can be shot by all of your turrets).

Echoes of Mars is a lane-based tower defence game, think Plants vs Zombies. The first few stages have an interesting mechanic where structures are damaged by time and need repair, even without alien inflicted damage. This gives the resource management decision of choosing between build more or maintain existing. After a few levels, you get access to newer structures that do not self-damage and the resource...

This is a great game. This is a game where you can take a break and just build fort knox. I would like to see more of something similar and/or expansion to this in the future. Keep up the good work!
