Moonshot’s First Update is Live!

Hey guys! Thanks for playing and loving Moonshot! We’re delighted about the positive response we’ve had so far. I hope you’re as excited as we are.

You represent the new and the proud – the first adopters who will shape the product with us! We want to hear from you, the good, the bad, and the ugly!

This update addresses a handful of rough spots we’ve heard from you so far. It also introduces our third power up – the Point Defense Drone! Laugh as it annihilates your opponent’s best placed shots, then obliterate them with your own.

We’re also introducing some changes to aiming for controller players that allows you to more easily point and fire in the direction of your stick. We could use some feedback here as this is a nuanced system.

Full patch notes are below. Is something missing that you’d like to see? Let us know, let us know, let us know! Next update again in two weeks.

P.S. We've heard you loud and clear. We're pushing hard on networked multiplayer. It's a doozy.
