After almost two months, the results of the Epic Megajam 2021 have been released. On the behalf of the team we would like to congratulate not only the talented winners, but also everyone that participated in yet another great event.

Now that Epic is no longer holding our submission page hostage, we would like to release a more balanced, polished and all out improved version. Lets just call it Galaxy Industries - Definitive Edition.

The main change in the patch is just an all around balancing pass. Due to the tight schedule the original version did not get much attention in that regard, resulting in a game that was ultimately very easy. Now after the jam, more attention has been paid to balancing building, upgrade costs, the damage outputs and even teh rate of enemies being spawned. Resulting in a much tougher but also more fun experience.

Theres also in general a lot of life and improvement and polish updates, made to ensure the game feels both nicer to play and also looks more top notch. The detailed patch list will be added down below.

Thanks for playing!
