Update 1.1.4 will soon arrive with fixes, balance changes and various improvements - plus CounterAttack will soon arrive on Epic Games Store!

Boss HP bars now feature an additional white trailing bar to indicate damage done, an issue I encountered watching streamers was that it wasn't clear how much damage they were doing; your eyes are likely focused on what's going on, so even an moment's distraction from that action may result in you missing something crucial and being hit! With the new trailing white bar you're now able to clearly watch as health decreases around you; somehow this seems more satisfying!

Visibility in CounterAttack: Uprising can always use improvement, and I believe introducing a small dark outline onto plasma projectiles may make them easier to distinguish against bright backgrounds such as explosions or bright orange or red backgrounds will do just that. With the new outline they should now stand out more. I welcome feedback on the change and continue working toward increasing visibility with future updates.

CounterAttack:Uprising's cross-platform multiplayer mode necessitates updating all platforms at the same time in order to avoid segmenting online population and thus disrupting it. Each platform has a separate release schedule and system which makes this task difficult; should a bug arise during testing all must be rebuilt, uploaded again, tested again etc etc etc

CounterAttack: Uprising will soon be coming to Epic Games Store! No release date has been set as of yet; however, progress in integrating EOS PlayEveryWhere framework for achievement tracking and stat management has made great strides forward over recent months.
