Greetings Soda Lovers!

Leaderboard: The leaderboard has been added to compare the highest damage dealt in an operation and to show other players how much you love sodas.

For now, a very basic version is available in the game, but it will become much more sophisticated with future updates.\n\n\nSee you in the next updates!

Greetings, Soda Lovers!\n

We\'re here with the 7th update of early access! With this update, Sodaman continues his operation to find sodas that have retained their fizz after the Sodacalypse on a new planet and with new faces joining the crew.\n

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/43360137/9dc46dadd785037995673d246b3f960bf5d4081d.jpg\"][/img]

New Planet Proclivitas: The 2nd planet Proclivitas, which has been in preview for a while, is now fully playable with 3 risk levels, chaos mode, new missions, and tons of new enemies.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/43360137/41db5fcba95510c53a25b3e54eb6bb6403a29800.jpg\"][/img]

Skill Tree: You can take your power to the next level with the skill tree you\'ll find in your ship\'s bar. The early sections of the skill tree can now be unlocked from the very beginning of the game, but to access its advanced levels, you need to complete missions located on Proclivitas.\n\n[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/43360137/083dcd52f7cef4552ea93bd0cadf2c8495514a1d.jpg\"][/img]

The Void: The Void, which will make your operations more interesting and contains plenty of rewards, now becomes part of your strategy once Proclivitas missions are completed. To enter The Void, you need to find void portals on the map. You can only enter The Void once per operation, so choose when to go wisely and be smart when selecting rewards. Note: Be careful outside the safe area. Void creatures are more aggressive than ever.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/43360137/d5f5b1eb4886cca09563c546c475a2d767f66504.png\"][/img]

20+ New Cards: Brand new cards that can only be found among Void rewards are waiting to be used. Additionally, legendary soda cards, which are the combined form of soda powers with cards, have also taken their place in chests.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/43360137/b4ebf56213c6ed736b7541b46c7d088e96fb5ce7.png\"][/img]

New Weapon: With the Minigun (Little Friend) found among Void rewards, you can rain bullets on your enemies like never before.

Optimization: We\'re very happy to announce this because you can expect a significant performance boost with this update!\n

See you in the next updates!

Hey buddy, (Opens a Soda - Pop!)

We developed Sodaman as four childhood friends. Why? Because one of us managed to quit smoking only to become addicted to soda instead! We thought building a universe around this would be both cool and hilarious. And here we are!

This is an Early Access game, and your feedback is incredibly important. Please dont forget to share your thoughts with us at contact@tapecorps.com. (Also, if you include a selfie while drinking soda, your feedback might get extra attention!)

Enjoy the game!

Sodaman is out with its early access version. Let's pop the cap on this!

Calling all soda-powered survivors! We're thrilled to be part of the Bullet-Heaven Festival, and weve got something special for you. Join us in this livestream as the developers of Sodaman play the latest version of the game, featuring a demo update created just for the festival. Get a first look at new features, mechanics, and all the alien-crushing action. Lets pop some sodas and dive into the chaos together!
