Shield Mechanic + Achievements Update is out now!

Dear pilots, We are excited to announce an update to PolyDestroyer! This update introduces the shield mechanic and two new achievements! Here's what's new:

New Features & Improvements


Shield Mechanic Added: Collect the new Shield Pick-Ups just like you do with health packs. Your ship can hold up to three shields at a time, displayed on the HUD. To activate a shield, press E on the keyboard, Y on the Xbox Controller, or Triangle on the PlayStation controller. When activated, your ship will pulse blue, indicating the shield is active for five seconds. During this time, your ship is completely immune to damage. New Achievements: We've added two new achievements! The first is granted when you open the game, and the second is a secret. (Hint: the build number might give you a clue!) More achievements will be added soon! Improved UI: We've revamped the Title Screen and Pause Menu to make them less cluttered and easier to navigate. Improved HUD: The HUD layout has been updated for better readability while playing.

Bug Fixes


Fixed an issue where the ship would slow down after pausing and unpausing the game. Fixed an issue where enemies would continue to spawn in the background if you returned to the title screen under certain conditions.

What's Next?


Stay tuned for our next update which will add the turbo mechanic and an improved way of unlocking weapons. We apologize for the delay; the weapon system needs a bit more polishing. In the future we plan to add more ship customization, new ship weaponry, online multiplayer modes, and leaderboards.

Localisation Update

Dear Pilots, There was an issue with the Localisation Update (Build 0.1.4.60) that we released last night, so we have reverted to the previous update (Build 0.1.3.54) until the problems are fixed. Apologies for this, we will get the new build out as soon as possible! Thank you all for your continued support! Regards, PolyDestroyer Team.

PolyDestroyer 0.1.3.54 is out now!

Dear Pilots, We are excited to announce the release of update 0.1.3.54 for PolyDestroyer! We continue refining the game during early access, and this update brings significant improvements aimed at improving the gameplay experience, focusing on controller support.

New Features & Improvements


  • Controller Support Added: Full controller support has been implemented, making it easier for you to navigate and enjoy the game.
  • Controller Glyphs: Controller glyphs are now displayed on the screen for PlayStation and Xbox controllers, with more controllers coming soon.
  • Enhanced Shooting Sounds: We've added new shooting sound effects (SFX) for players and enemies.
  • Faster Gameplay Pace: Gameplay has been sped up to offer a more significant challenge and enjoyable experience while playing the game. Both player and enemy movements, as well as shooting, have been increased.
  • Increased Pickups: The spawn rate for coins and health pickups has been increased.
  • User Interface Enhancements: We've redesigned the main menu and all user interface buttons to be more controller-friendly. You can now navigate menus using the controller.

Bug Fixes


  • Ship Movement: Fixed an issue where the ship would stutter while moving.
  • Fixed an issue where if the player dies and clicks continue, they were put back into the wave they died in instead of being reset to the first wave.
  • Fixed an issue where the game would crash if you go to the main menu before all enemies have spawned.
  • Fixed an issue where clicking the main menu button in certain circumstances would restart the wave instead of going to the main menu.
  • Changed player shooting so it is now hold to fire instead of tap. This means you will continuously shoot when holding the shoot button. This change was made to align better with player expectations and feedback.

What's Next?


Stay tuned for upcoming features, including Steam Achievements, Online Multiplayer Modes, Leaderboards, more ship customisation options, new ship weaponry, and localization.

PolyDestroyer 0.1.2.41 is out now!

Dear Pilots, Were excited to announce an update to PolyDestroyer! This update introduces a brand-new infinite waves system and many improvements to enhance your adventures. Heres whats new:

New Features & Improvements:


  • Infinite Waves System: Dive into endless combat with the new infinite waves system, testing your skills against limitless enemies.
  • Visual Damage Indicator: Enemies now flash red when damaged, improving combat feedback.

  • Steam Overlay Interaction: Closing the Steam overlay no longer unpauses the game.
  • FPS Counter Update: The FPS counter is now disabled by default. You can enable it on the pause screen.
  • Temporary Removal of Graphics Settings: Weve hidden the graphics settings temporarily as we work on fixing their functionality.

  • Credits Panel Background: A new background has been added to the credits panel, matching the shop and pause screen style.
  • Wave and Enemy Adjustments: Waves now spawn a set amount of enemies, eliminating infinite spawning based on experience points.
