Fixes
An open month no longer hides an older payout. Treasury receipts must prove the exact AAX delivered.
Known issues and checks
Real locks require an open funded season and issuer support for token escrow. Simulator positions earn no AAX.

Pilot selection and sign-in have keyboard focus management, Escape dismissal and clear close controls.
Readable body and navigation type, larger mobile controls, search discovery files and recovery pages.
Guest storage restrictions no longer block pilot selection. Authenticated-only telemetry no longer runs for anonymous visitors. Ended-season labels are explicit.
Known issues and checks
Genesis Clash remains Open Alpha. Real wallet signing and third-party account authorization require the player's own identity.
This release does not establish a maximum supported concurrent player count.

Highlights
Removed delayed blur reveals and section parallax. Cached scene measurements replace repeated layout reads while scrolling.
Removed pointer-driven parallax and animated nebula blur; small screens and reduced-motion users get a static background.

Highlights
Public browsing no longer requires alpha registration. Account, wallet and admin permissions remain in place.
AA Creator Studio exports personalized profile cards, X banners and square posts as PNGs, with official astronaut art or a local image.
Known issues and checks
Studio graphics are community creations, not NFT ownership certificates. Local uploads stay in your browser. Studio does not mint NFTs or spend AAX.
Genesis Clash remains in Open Alpha; existing gameplay limitations apply.

v0.66.19
Platform
Anthem wallet-check repair
Repaired the wallet and funding checks that blocked the Anthem owner setup before the dedicated wallet was funded.
System
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Wallet permissions and mint automation now use the same Mainnet verification service, with an additional public server fallback.
Fixes
Unfunded Clio accounts are checked against an exact validated ledger, even when the error response omits ledger details. An unfunded account remains ineligible to sign or authorize minting.
Known issues and checks
Funding, issuer approval and a real claim rehearsal are still required. This repair does not mint NFTs or open public claims.
Foundation
v0.66.18
Platform
Simpler Anthem launch setup
Anthem preparation now uses a fresh dedicated minting wallet with a clear funding, permission and minting sequence.
System
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
The owner can see the exact wallet address and a live funding target before activation. The original AA issuer and 5% royalty are retained.
A protected server wallet can handle the individual mints and free claim offers after issuer approval, without a separate signing-key permission request.
Fixes
The release wallet changes only when the exact saved preparation has no inventory, claims or automation activity. Existing media and locked release details remain intact.
Inactive-wallet estimates distinguish funding preparation from permission to sign. Signing still requires an active wallet, the expected key, issuer permission and the release limits.
Known issues and checks
The owner must fund the new wallet, approve minting, run the queue and complete a real claim rehearsal. This deployment does not mint NFTs or open public claims.
The server controls the dedicated wallet. Keep only its release budget there; revoke issuer minting permission after the mint queue finishes.
Foundation
v0.66.17
Platform
Anthem signing compatibility fix
Fixed the hosted signing check that incorrectly reported an invalid key during Anthem setup.
System
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
The signing service now uses a hashing implementation supported by the hosting runtime. Existing wallet and key addresses are preserved.
Fixes
Server configuration errors tell the owner that no wallet action is needed.
Release checks now test actual signing in the hosting runtime with offline test keys.
Known issues and checks
This update does not approve wallet permissions, mint NFTs or open public claims. Owner approvals, funding and a real claim rehearsal remain required.
Foundation
v0.66.16
Platform
Anthem signing-key setup
The Anthem owner can authorize a separate protected signing key in Xaman without sharing a wallet recovery phrase.
System
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Dedicated-wallet controls prepare one-time key authorization, revocation and recovery of interrupted confirmations.
The supplied full video, cover and metadata were retrieved from IPFS and matched the prepared file hashes.
Fixes
Automation checks the current signing-key authorization and enabled master key before new signing. Existing unrelated keys are never replaced by this setup.
Owner copy now distinguishes Xaman permission approvals from automated mint and offer signing.
Known issues and checks
The protected server key is configured but still needs the owner's Xaman authorization. Its ledger permission is broad; Anthem transaction restrictions are enforced by application code.
Minting and public claims remain inactive. Issuer permission, funding, ongoing media pinning and a real wallet/device rehearsal are still required.
Foundation
v0.66.15
Platform
Anthem mint and claim queue
Owner controls now prepare automated Anthem minting and free wallet-specific claim offers, with live XRP funding estimates.
System
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
A saved transaction journal recovers interrupted submissions and limits the release to 589 verified inventory editions.
When automation is enabled, the claim page prepares the free offer while the visitor waits. The visitor accepts it in Xaman.
Fixes
Concurrent queue requests share one pending transaction. New signing stops when permission, funding, fee or transaction checks fail.
Expired Anthem offers can be cleaned up to release reserve, with at most ten outstanding offers and bounded retries.
Known issues and checks
The hosted signer is disabled until its protected credentials are configured. No NFTs were minted by this update.
Minting requires the owner page to remain open. Media checks, issuer authorization, funding and a real wallet rehearsal still need completion; public claims remain closed.
Foundation
v0.66.14
Platform
Anthem minter approval
The Anthem owner can approve the selected minting wallet through Xaman and verify its permission on Mainnet.
System
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
One issuer-wallet approval replaces the existing authorized minter. The page shows both addresses and explains the account-wide permission.
Interrupted returns can recover the signed transaction without another signature.
Fixes
Permission requests reject stale wallet settings, changed minters and unrelated account settings. Confirmation requires a successful validated transaction and the current ledger permission.
Known issues and checks
Publishing this update does not change wallet permissions. The issuer still needs to approve in Xaman. Automatic minting, file availability checks and the mint-and-claim rehearsal remain pending; public claims stay closed.
Foundation
v0.66.13
Platform
Anthem wallet checks
Owner controls now check the Anthem issuer and selected minting wallet against validated XRPL Mainnet data.
System
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Read-only checks show account status, balances and existing authorized-minter conflicts.
The selected minting wallet is available in new preparations and can be loaded into an unlocked saved draft.
Fixes
Older releases without a separate distributor continue to use their original issuer wallet.
Known issues and checks
No wallet permission is changed by these checks. Automated signing, the existing minter conflict and the real mint-and-claim rehearsal still need resolution. Claims remain closed.
Foundation
v0.66.12
Platform
Anthem media linked
The supplied video, cover and shared metadata addresses are available in the Anthem release preparation.
System
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
The shared metadata address matches the exact prepared file for the 589-edition release.
Owners can load all three prepared addresses into an unlocked draft while preserving existing saved and locked release settings.
Fixes
Shared metadata downloads preserve the uploaded file’s exact formatting.
Known issues and checks
Claims remain closed. IPFS availability and playback, minting automation and a real wallet rehearsal still need verification. No NFTs were minted by this update.
Foundation
v0.66.11
Platform
A simpler Anthem edition
The free Anthem edition can use one shared metadata file for all 589 NFTs.
System
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
The release can be prepared with three hosted files: the video, cover and shared metadata.
Each NFT keeps its own on-chain identity. Shared metadata uses one title; Astro Arena claim numbers are separate references.
Fixes
Owner controls export an upload-ready metadata file and preserve existing numbered release settings.
Unsaved preparation changes must be saved before exporting or locking mint details.
Known issues and checks
Claims remain closed. Public IPFS playback, the remaining uploads, automated signing and a real mint-and-claim rehearsal still need completion. This update does not mint NFTs.
Foundation
v0.66.10
Platform
Anthem release preparation
The Anthem release can now keep the original AA issuer while using a separate minting and distribution wallet.
System
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Owner controls display royalties as percentages and prepare the selected 5% resale royalty.
Mint exports, inventory checks and free-offer verification distinguish the NFT issuer from the wallet holding the editions.
Fixes
Media preparation checks now say when an IPFS address is provided, without claiming that the files have been pinned or tested.
Known issues and checks
Claims remain closed. Hosting, the dedicated wallet, automated signing and the real mint-and-claim rehearsal are still pending. No wallet permission or ledger transaction was submitted.
Live

The final Anonymous Astronauts music video is now available on the Anthem page.
SystemMobile

Highlights
Watch the complete 2:51 video without connecting a wallet or registering for the Open Alpha.
Playback starts when you choose to watch, with 720p and 1080p streaming, inline phone controls and a retry option.
Fixes
The video is available independently of the NFT claim status. A frame from the final XRP performance previews the film.
Known issues and checks
NFT claims remain closed. IPFS pinning, reviewed mint settings, 589 minted editions and a successful wallet rehearsal are still required.
Automated media and route checks do not replace final phone and desktop playback review.
Foundation
v0.66.8
Platform
The AA Anthem · 589 Edition
A dedicated Anthem page and private release controls prepare the free music-video collectible.
SystemMobile
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
The public /anthem page features the real AA band artwork, clear claim status and mobile-friendly layout. Video loads only when you choose to watch.
Owner controls prepare 589 metadata records, verify minted NFTs and create wallet-specific 0 XRP offers through Xaman.
One reserved edition per wallet, persistent claim receipts and Mainnet transfer verification protect retries and interrupted signing.
Fixes
The Anthem is accessible without entering the Open Alpha. Release controls and wallet lists stay owner-only.
Known issues and checks
Claims remain closed. The final video, IPFS files, reviewed mint settings and minted inventory are still required.
Offer preparation is owner-approved, not automatic. Opening requires all 589 verified NFTs, a confirmed rehearsal transfer and a phone/desktop review. No NFTs were minted by this update.

Genesis Clash
Feel Every Hit
Combat feedback follows your actual Hero cards, with clearer damage, Shield and deployment readouts.
GameplayMobile
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Directional attack trails connect the attacking and defending cards in Solo and Private Duels. Colours distinguish weapon families and signatures.
Separate HP and Shield changes show what each Hero lost or gained, including reserve damage, depleted Shields and knockouts. Health bars show a short damage trail.
Compact card and signature reveals keep the battle visible. The result screen shows your squad and their final status.
Fixes
Knockout feedback stays attached to the defeated Hero when a reserve takes over. Shield gains no longer appear as damage.
Effects expire, clear when the tab is hidden and do not replay when opening a match. Reduced motion retains the readable numbers without projectiles.
Known issues and checks
Presentation only: combat rules, balance and rewards are unchanged. Private Duel numbers reflect changes between received server updates.
Open Alpha continues. Browser visual checks, physical-phone and two-device multiplayer checks remain pending before beta.
Live
v0.66.6
Genesis Clash
Enter the Orbital Arena
A new orbital arena and a clearer Void Forge bring your real Hero cards to the centre of every battle.
GameplayMobile
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Cinematic arena scenery, refined lighting and a cleaner squad, deck and launch flow.
Solo and Private Duels share a responsive battlefield with both active Heroes visible and separate crew rails.
A compact command dock groups Energy, your installed passive module, your hand and actions. Live Energy costs sit below card artwork.
Fixes
Flexible battle columns replace fixed minimum widths that could cut off the rival Hero.
Phone portrait and landscape layouts keep both reserve crews inspectable, with compact crew rows on short screens. Reduced motion removes decorative movement.
Known issues and checks
Combat rules, card stats, ownership and rewards are unchanged.
Open Alpha continues. Physical-device and two-device multiplayer visual checks remain required before beta.

Private Duel Rewards, Saved Together
Private Duels save both commanders’ results and rewards together, with automatic recovery after an interrupted save.
MultiplayerProgressionSystem
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Commander, Card and Hero XP, Stars, Season Points and match stats now commit together for both players.
Finished rooms retry pending rewards when reopened. Repeated requests return the saved result without awarding it twice.
The result screen distinguishes confirmed rewards from a pending save and offers a retry button.
Fixes
The three rewarded duels per opponent per UTC day limit now holds during simultaneous finishes. Recovery uses the duel’s finish date.
Both commanders can reopen their existing invite, and rematches wait for reward confirmation.
Concurrent finishes preserve current Hangar totals and win streaks.
Known issues and checks
Reward amounts and combat rules are unchanged. Reload before playing to get the updated result screen.
Older duels with missing receipts require support review; historical partial rewards are not automatically repaired.
Open Alpha continues. Real two-device play and mobile testing remain required before beta.

Rewards That Stay Saved
Mission, achievement, contract and crate rewards now save together and keep a receipt for safe retries.
ProgressionSystem
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
XP, Fuel, cosmetics and crate Shards commit together. A failed save rolls the whole reward back.
An interrupted claim can recover its original reward. Crates keep the same confirmed contents; a contract retry keeps the same cycle.
Reward requests retry one temporary failure automatically and offer Retry reward if confirmation is still missing.
Fixes
Crate buttons recover from network errors instead of staying stuck on Opening.
Simultaneous Fuel rewards use the current tank balance. Mission Fuel still requires enough free slots; crate Fuel still respects the cap.
Claims use the period shown on screen, so a retry across a reset cannot silently claim a new period.
Known issues and checks
Reload before claiming an Endless Contract; older tabs must send the displayed cycle number.
Receipts cover newly confirmed rewards. Historical partial saves are not automatically repaired.
Open Alpha continues; live wallet and physical-device testing remain open before beta.

v0.66.3
Genesis ClashPlatform
Solo Results You Can Retry
Signed-in Solo battles now receive a server-issued match ID before launch and keep one saved reward receipt.
ProgressionSystem
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Commander, Card and Hero XP save together once per Solo match. Retrying returns the same receipt, even after the original match window closes.
Retry save retries only an unconfirmed result. Repeated launches with the same request also reuse their original match and Fuel reservation.
The server records the squad, difficulty and unlocked card pool at launch. Results from another account, changed loadouts and locked cards are rejected.
Fixes
Parallel Solo wins share one daily bonus and keep the correct win streak.
Discarded cards no longer receive played-card XP. Generated unlocked cards and the installed Equipment remain eligible.
Solo card telemetry supports all 27 action cards, instead of truncating longer battles at seven.
Known issues and checks
Reload Astro Arena before starting a new battle. Older open tabs without a Solo match ID must reload before they can save new Hangar results.
New Solo results require at least 15 seconds and must first save within 45 minutes of launch. Confirmed results can always be retried.
Retry save keeps the current result screen; it does not resume an unfinished battle after a page reload.
Solo gameplay still uses client-reported telemetry. Full gameplay verification and physical-device testing remain open before beta.

Safer Ranked Rewards
Wallet-ranked Genesis results now save Fuel and rewards together, with safe retries and clearer save confirmations.
ProgressionSystem
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Genesis ranked Fuel, result and rewards commit together. A storage error rolls them back together.
A repeated ranked result returns its original reward without another Fuel charge. The battle screen retries one failed wallet save automatically.
Simultaneous ranked wins award the daily win bonus once. Parallel launches cannot reserve the same Fuel, and arcade launches respect active Genesis reservations.
Fixes
Arcade run creation and its Fuel charge now save together.
Fuel regeneration cannot overwrite a concurrent Fuel debit.
The result screen reports partial saves when only wallet or Hangar progression is confirmed.
Known issues and checks
Open Alpha continues. Solo gameplay telemetry still needs further server verification.
Hangar-only Solo saves do not yet have durable match receipts and are not automatically retried.
Physical-phone, wallet handoff and two-device multiplayer testing remain required before beta.
Live

Reliable Result Saving
Duplicate result submissions no longer award arcade scores or simultaneous Solo Hangar rewards twice.
ProgressionSystem
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Arcade scores, XP and boss contributions now save together. A storage failure rolls back the award so the request can be retried safely.
Simultaneous Solo Hangar submissions share one database check before awarding Commander, Card and Hero XP.
Fixes
Malformed arcade telemetry is rejected without attempting to store invalid numeric values.
Arcade XP rounding and personal-best comparisons use the totals at the moment the result is saved.
Known issues and checks
Open Alpha continues. Physical-phone, wallet handoff and two-device multiplayer testing are still required before beta.
Solo results still include client-reported telemetry; these protections do not constitute server-authoritative gameplay verification.

Rocket Rush
Contact Has Consequences
Barrier scrapes and rival contact now carry a clear speed penalty.
GameplayBalance
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Barrier contact removes 35% of current speed and limits speed to 55% of normal top speed while scraping. Rival contact removes 22% and limits both racers to 70% while touching.
Both contacts cancel active boost and unfinished drift charge, followed by a brief slowdown. Stored boost charges are kept. Contact messages confirm the penalty without repeating every frame.
AI and human racers use the same rules. New personal records and ghosts are separated from previous physics versions; older records are retained.
Known issues and checks
Reload both players before a friend race. Real-device visual and multiplayer playtesting remain pending.
Live

Rocket Rush
Living Skies & Tunnel Atmosphere
Passing spacecraft and gentle lighting transitions bring more life to both circuits.
GameplayMobile
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Cargo craft circle Orbital and mining craft patrol Lunar airspace, with engine glows and navigation lights. These are scenery, safely above the racing surface.
The observation and mining tunnels transition smoothly to softer sunlight; the Lunar quarry gains a subtle warmer haze. Tunnel guide strips now glow in distinct circuit colours.
Traffic reuses hosted models, with shared geometry and three drawing batches. Low quality reduces passing craft, visibility distance and animation frequency.
Pausing freezes the new scenery motion and lighting transitions. Reduced motion hides passing air traffic.
Known issues and checks
Browser preview remains unavailable in this session. Real-phone visual and frame-rate verification is still pending.
Live
v0.64.0
Rocket Rush
Station Architecture & Surface Detail
Textured station facades and scanned surface materials give the two circuits a stronger sense of place.
GameplayMobile
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Quaternius structural columns and panelled walls form taller trackside galleries in two areas of each circuit, with their original textured materials preserved.
Orbital decking gains worn blue metal surfaces. Lunar terrain gains detailed dry gravel. Normal and roughness maps add surface relief and varied reflections on high quality.
Structures use instancing and distance culling; 512-pixel architectural textures and 1K surface textures are served locally. Low quality omits the terrain and deck normal/roughness maps from rendering.
Free CC0 assets are credited to Quaternius and Poly Haven. Existing AA pilots, controls and race rules are preserved.
Known issues and checks
Physical-device visual and frame-rate checks remain pending. This release does not add new circuits or collision obstacles.
Live

Spaceports & Expedition Bases
Authored space scenery brings more activity and recognizable landmarks to both circuits.
GameplayMobile
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Orbital gains cargo-port scenery with Kenney hangars, cargo spacecraft, rovers, generators and satellite dishes.
Lunar gains expedition-base scenery with round habitats, mining craft and crystal samples.
Cargo craft lift and descend, rovers patrol their base decks, and dishes scan. All scenery remains outside the racing surface and shortcut.
Selected CC0 models are hosted by Astro Arena. Static scenery is batched, distant bases are hidden, and low quality reduces animation frequency and draw distance.
Scenery credit: Kenney Space Kit, licensed CC0. Playable AA avatars and rocket handling are unchanged.
Known issues and checks
These are scenery improvements; imported models do not add new tracks or gameplay obstacles.
Real-device frame-rate and mobile visual checks remain pending.

Rocket Rush: Read the Road
Earlier course guidance and less unnecessary spectator animation work.
GameplayMobile
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Advance cues show the distance to jumps, the mining laser and moving machinery, with open-lane directions. Incoming Seeker warnings take priority.
Shortcut entry and rejoin guidance works in solo and friend races for the correct player. Rejoin distance accounts for the shorter physical route.
Both circuits now share blue-white outside-corner markers; purple road markings identify the actual left-side shortcut entrance.
The physical starting gantry now uses the same three-light timing as the countdown display.
Distant robot spectators stop drawing and animating, with a shorter range on low quality. Stationary spectator bodies are uploaded once while nearby arms keep reacting.
Known issues and checks
Browser visual checks, rendered frame-rate measurements and physical two-device testing remain outstanding. No measured FPS increase is claimed.
Live

Rocket Rush
Rocket Rush: Spaceport & Quarry
A larger architecture and presentation upgrade for both existing circuits.
GameplayMobile
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Covered robot grandstands, a taller starting gantry and responsive track lights give each race a proper starting area. Robot spectators react to passing racers.
Orbital's dockyards gain landing pads, lifting cargo ships, moving cranes and a maintenance drone. The observation passage gains external station rings.
Lunar gains raised mining settlements and a trussed quarry crossing. Piers and underside bracing connect the elevated course to the terrain; the service shortcut gains its own supports.
Repeating deck panels, darker barriers, softer environmental lighting and separate lunar and orbital palettes replace uniformly bright surfaces.
Rockets gain clearer material separation, additional cockpit and engine connections, subtle acceleration pitch and landing compression. Original seated AA pilots and dedicated boost controls remain in use.
Boost pads and checkpoint markers brighten for nearby racers, including AI. Scenery uses shared materials, merged geometry and instanced spectators with reduced animation frequency on low quality.
Known issues and checks
The preview browser was blocked in this session. Desktop/mobile visual review, rendered frame-rate measurements and a live two-device friend race could not be completed.
Race simulation, vehicle geometry, camera framing and environment animation checks are automated; they do not replace real-device visual testing.

Two distinct racing worlds, moving track machinery and a new lunar route.
GameplayMultiplayer

Highlights
Lunar Extraction gets a wider crater route, tall canyon walls, rotating mining drills, circulating ore carts and a communications outpost. Lunar scenery now replaces the orbital station buildings.
Orbital Overdrive gains animated tracking solar panels and a timed cargo lock, alongside its docks, habitat and shuttle traffic.
Keep right at Orbital's cargo lock and left at Lunar's ore press. Amber signals warn for two seconds before machinery moves; an open lane stays available. Shields can block machine impacts.
Sector signs and red map markers identify the new hazards. AI pilots steer toward the open lanes using the same racing controls.
Current-layout records and ghosts are stored separately from previous versions. Previous runs are retained.
Known issues and checks
Reload both players' tabs before starting a friend race. Lunar Extraction remains a solo circuit.
Physical-phone visual and two-device playtesting remain pending; performance and presentation still need real-device feedback.

Highlights
Release Drift to store your strongest charge, then press B or the dedicated Boost touch button. Items remain on Space / Use item; track boost pads stay automatic.
Circuit maps show the start line, boost pads, jump and shortcut, with the lunar laser marked. The garage previews each route.
Both tracks gain instanced edge lights and warning strips. Lunar asphalt and tunnel signs have their own identity.
Rockets gain moving airbrake flaps and nozzle-anchored exhaust. Original rigged AA pilots lean into steering and boost while keeping hands on their controls.
Solo and friend races share the new boost input and charge display. New-rule records and ghosts are separate from previous runs; older records are not deleted.
Known issues and checks
Reload both players' tabs before a friend race after this update.
Physical-phone visual and two-device testing remain pending. This is a focused polish pass, not a complete vehicle or map rebuild.

Highlights
Touch settings now offer larger action buttons and right-thumb steering. These preferences stay on this device and apply to solo and friend races.
An incoming Seeker warning stays visible while a missile targets you, with its direction, distance and shield status. Actual weapon hits now tell the attacker whether the rival was hit or blocked with a shield.
Starting lights, nearby rival nameplates, distinct hit and shield-block sounds, and a finish banner make races easier to follow. The chase view looks slightly farther through corners at speed.

Highlights
Experimental Race a friend mode: create a private invite, join from a second signed-in account, ready up and race against each other plus four AI pilots. Core pilots and all five rockets are available.
A thumb steering pad replaces the mobile left/right buttons. Drag farther for a tighter turn; braking, drifting and items support simultaneous touches.
Seekers have a bright directional trail. Mines show their arming state and gravity fields show their area. Seated pilots react to impacts, and outside-turn chevrons help read corners.
Known issues and checks
Online races are unranked and host-simulated: no Fuel cost, token rewards or saved records. Keep both tabs active; leaving or losing connection ends the race.
Direct peer connections may fail on restricted networks. Relay support, reconnects, host migration and physical two-device/mobile playtesting are not complete.

Brighter exhaust trails, drift sparks, clearer impacts and a calmer racing view.
GameplayMobileSystem
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Engines leave short exhaust trails. Drifting sparks change from blue to gold to pink as your boost charges, and the gauge now fills continuously.
Collisions and landings produce sparks and a deeper impact sound. Phase Shield has a translucent energy shell, and important collision messages stay readable when other events happen at once.
The chase camera keeps the complete rocket in view and follows corners more smoothly. Reduce camera motion in Settings to disable shake and speed-dependent zoom.
Phone instruments share a compact layout, with touch-specific drift instructions and visible button presses. Portrait instruments sit near the top, leaving the middle of the track clear.
Fixes
Visual effects freeze while paused. Particle effects reuse a fixed pool, with fewer particles on low graphics settings.
Known issues and checks
Browser visual playtesting and performance measurements on physical phones remain pending. Existing race rules, rocket statistics and records are unchanged.

Highlights
Rockets now have open seats, footwells, steering controls, shaped bodywork, armour panels and distinct engine assemblies.
XRP, BTC, ETH and SEC use their existing animated AA character models, seated with bent knees and hands following the steering controls.
Explore the launch dock, solar arrays, habitat buildings and communications tower, with overhead shuttles, new track lights and jump landmarks.
A closer garage view, reflective paint and soft hover shadows make the pilot and rocket easier to see. Repeated static geometry is combined to limit extra rendering work.
Known issues and checks
Characters without a rigged 3D model use a seated racing suit and their original portrait. These are identified in pilot selection.
This remains an Open Alpha. Visual playtesting and performance measurements on physical phones are still pending.

Highlights
Quick Race pairs you with five AI racers. Time Trial has no rivals or combat items, and saves your race and lap bests on this device.
Five rockets have different handling. Drift through three boost levels, take the narrow service shortcut, clear the jump and use six original items.
Use your free Core Crew or eligible owned Genesis/XRPL avatars. Exact NFT media is loaded when available; pilot choice changes appearance only.
Keyboard and simultaneous touch controls, optional automatic acceleration, separate music and effects volumes, and adjustable graphics quality.
Fixes
Rocket Rush checks swept hull and projectile paths at a fixed simulation timestep, with single-contact penalties and ordered lap checkpoints.
Known issues and checks
Rocket Rush is an Open Alpha. Online multiplayer and global verified racing leaderboards are not included. It costs no Fuel and awards no tokens.
Automated race and collision checks passed. Visual browser and physical mobile playtesting were blocked in the build environment; handling and performance need player feedback.
Owned NFT media depends on its original host. An unavailable image keeps the individual token identity instead of substituting collection art.

Runner Hits That Register
Astro Runner checks the full path of obstacles and shots, with clearer feedback when a hit damages Hull or is blocked.
GameplaySystem
Read full patch notes ＋
Highlights
Manual fire now damages bosses. Manual and automatic shots apply damage on arrival, and each shot hits only one target.
Hazards remain dangerous until they pass your pilot. Wider body contact checks catch grazes and lane changes that were previously missed.
Hull impacts, shield blocks and recovery protection have distinct feedback. Damage and destruction update the HUD immediately.
Fixes
Boost and Dive cancel the previous manoeuvre's protection, preventing both counters from remaining active together.
Fast shots check their entire travel path, hit the nearest target first and carry remaining damage through broken boss armour.
Ranked Runner flights can save more than three Hull hits after earning repair upgrades.
Known issues and checks
Recovery protection still prevents several simultaneous obstacles from removing multiple Hull points. Shield blocks do not count as Hull damage.

Inspect every card in your hand, including cards waiting for a reaction or more Energy. Each card explains when it can be played.
The Evolution Forge previews the next card tier and shows Commander Level and Card XP requirements separately.
Astro Runner shows approaching hazards in each lane with Boost, Dive or Dodge cues. Runner and Meteor Blaster resume with a cancellable three-second countdown.
Fixes
Delayed Solo AI hits now read the latest defence state, so newly granted Shield and reflection are applied before the incoming hit resolves.
Defence previews account for Shield removal and piercing. Smaller battle views keep both heroes within their columns and make card status labels readable.
Runner's game descriptions now match its eight existing sectors and four recurring boss types.
Known issues and checks
Threat previews describe the direct hit; additional Hero effects and damage at the next round can still change HP.
The new combat readout applies to Solo AI; Private Duels continue to use their existing server-controlled combat interface.

Adds a compact top-three Clash preview to the other leaderboard views.
Fixes
Requires ten completed ranked battles before a pilot enters the official table.
Excludes Private Duels and practice matches so friendly games cannot be used to farm leaderboard position.
Keeps the full ranking readable on mobile with a compact two-column control deck and stacked record details.

Fixes
Removes the endless Loading NFT state caused by unavailable historical IPFS metadata and media.
Falls back cleanly to the hosted collection representative when unique owned media times out or fails.
Optimizes the complete representative archive from roughly 72 MB to about 1.1 MB for mobile Hangars.

Shows a WalletConnect QR code for desktop holders and keeps MetaMask as a separate browser-wallet fallback.
Requests only Songbird account access and a personal ownership signature—never a payment, token approval or NFT transfer.
Keeps XRP/Xaman as the master identity for progress, XP, loadouts and rewards while SGB ownership and points attach to the same pilot.
Fixes
Removes the copy-and-paste Bifrost browser detour that could be stopped by a domain security warning before Astro Arena loaded.
Prioritizes the certified Bifrost Wallet in the connection selector and adds clear cancellation, retry and desktop instructions.

Activates the Bifrost entry in the account panel for existing pilots while preventing accidental duplicate accounts.
Makes Songbird an ownership-only attachment so linking an SGB wallet cannot fork or replace the player's progress account.

Re-exports both HD fighters with universally supported full-precision geometry so their scale, bounds and position resolve consistently across browsers and graphics drivers.
Makes the two body-driven models render safely from both face directions, covering the winding differences present in the supplied OBJ meshes.
Fixes
Prevents a high-detail fighter from being marked ready while only its shadow and combat effects are visible.
Preserves the original 120,000-triangle geometry and PBR texture set while keeping each corrected model below 7.1 MB.
Retains the previous rigged model and complete 2.5D renderer as independent fallback layers.

Preserves 120,000 source triangles per fighter and renders each new body as one efficient material group with diffuse, normal, metallic, roughness and available emissive detail.
Adds a body-driven combat motion profile for advancing, side-steps, crouching, guarding, jumping, impacts, knockdowns, attack windups and forward strike commitment.
Updates the ETH selection portrait to match the newly tested white backpack model instead of showing the previous purple cartoon body.
Fixes
Compresses each original 30 MB model package into a self-contained 4.7–5.0 MB web model using quantized geometry and optimized embedded textures.
Falls back automatically to the previous skeletal XRP or ETH fighter if a high-detail model cannot load on the current device.
Releases geometry, materials and every embedded GPU texture when a match closes or a partial model load fails.
Keeps fixed-step combat, hit detection, Solo AI, Local Versus, Training Lab, fullscreen controls and the complete 2.5D emergency fallback unchanged.
Known issues and checks
The two new HD uploads contain no skeleton or authored animation clips, so Alpha 0.5 uses deliberate whole-body combat motion until final rigged versions are supplied.

Drives the shared humanoid skeleton directly from live combat state so advancing, sidewalk movement, quick side-steps, guarding, crouching, jumping, hit reactions, knockdowns and every attack family read as physical motion.
Adds cinematic ACES lighting, stage-colored highlights, meter glow, impact flash response, grounding shadows and a camera that keeps both fighters framed across desktop, tablet, portrait and fullscreen play.
Adds ETH Astronaut as the private combat roster's validator specialist while preserving the former balanced fighter timings, defence profile and first-block passive strength.
Fixes
Merges each supplied character from 70–84 separate render pieces into only 6–10 material groups while preserving its complete skeleton, geometry and visual identity.
Automatically lowers 3D pixel density in Balanced quality and reduced-effects mode, while retaining the complete fixed 60 Hz gameplay simulation.
Keeps the proven 2.5D fighter artwork as an automatic safe fallback when a device cannot initialize WebGL or a model cannot load.
Preserves owner-only access, Solo AI, Local Versus, Training Lab, hitboxes, fullscreen controls, audio, telemetry and all three cinematic environments.

Animates the new environments with rotating rift rings, orbital traffic, drifting debris, beacon lights, reactor motion, solar pulses, heat glow and layered sparks.
Keeps the combat renderer modular so the four upcoming official 3D avatar models can replace temporary 2.5D fighter layers without changing match rules or the stage system.
Fixes
Removes unrestricted free-roam controls in favor of the expected locked 3D fighting line and opponent-relative defence.
Keeps side-steps evasive and sidewalk movement deliberate while preserving radial collision so a correctly timed depth movement can still create a side switch.
Optimizes each detailed stage plate below 500 KB and preserves animated balanced-quality and reduced-effects fallbacks.
Preserves fixed 60 Hz simulation, depth-aware hit detection, Local Versus, Training Lab, fullscreen-safe framing and owner-only access.

Adds directional attack commitment, radial fighter collision, three-dimensional hit distance and lock-on dodges that travel around the opponent instead of teleporting between shallow lanes.
Introduces The XRP Rift, Lunar Citadel and Flare Foundry as selectable environments with distinct lighting, skyline silhouettes, arena surfaces, ambient motion and depth perspective.
Strengthens every attack with forward drive, directional knockback, larger energy trails, impact flashes, improved sparks, heavier camera response and clearer depth-aware Training hitboxes.
Updates Solo AI to chase, defend, circle and disengage across both arena axes on Easy, Normal and Hard.

Builds the XRP Rift as a responsive depth arena with side-steps, fixed-step combat, input buffering, high/low defence, Guard breaks, hit-stop, launchers, knockout slow motion and best-of-three rounds.
Adds keyboard and standard gamepad controls, fullscreen-safe framing, original synthesized combat effects, authored Astro Arena music and device-saved audio/effects preferences.
Fixes
Protects the direct game route and feature controls with the existing server-side owner authorization instead of relying on a hidden client button.
Lazy-loads the separate admin route so the fighting game does not increase the initial public homepage game bundle.
Adds reduced-effects and balanced-quality fallbacks, visibility pausing, complete input/audio cleanup and a mobile-safe desktop-controller recommendation.
Known issues and checks
The first alpha uses layered official 2.5D fighter artwork while production-ready rigged 3D models remain unavailable.

Validated mixed Core, Rank 1, Rank 2 and Rank 3 squads while preserving the one-Origins-Hero and one-Rank-1-Hero squad limits.
Centered Veteran near an even contest, moved Legend into the expert band and kept Void as the hardest base profile before its rotating Void Trial modifier applies.
Kept simulated matches inside the intended 10–20 round pre-alpha window, with finite hands, permanent Used piles and carried Energy remaining decisive late in battle.
Fixes
NEBULA_AI now preserves one Energy for its action after a non-lethal Defence reaction instead of repeatedly exhausting its whole turn on protection.
Cadet now answers only lethal, very heavy or critical-health attacks; Veteran, Legend and Void scale through explicit squad-power and decision-accuracy profiles.
Legend received the late-match Orbital Barrage, Last Stand Protocol and Genesis Override package so its deck no longer creates a difficulty dip below Veteran.
Defence selection now penalizes expensive overprotection while still choosing the strongest legal survival line against lethal damage.

Attack-card previews show the exact live stat modifier before the card is deployed.

The rival opens with a protected four-card hand, draws from a finite deck, pays real Energy costs and permanently discards every used card.
NEBULA_AI can now react to incoming attacks with an affordable Defence card; Cadet reacts only in emergencies while Legend and Void protect themselves consistently.
AI Equipment, tactical switching, shared Signature Charge, recovery timing and late-match card exhaustion now follow the live battle rules.
