Staxel CE is now out for Windows, Mac and Linux!

Hello again, Staxelites! Yep, you heard right, a new version of the game is now out for all of you to enjoy! This version of the game was made to be lighter, faster, and more portable than the current version of the game.

How to get to this version:

On Windows: Download the newest free update, click play, and select the launch option labelled “Staxel CE”.
On Mac and Linux: Download the game and click play!

Staxel CE Features:

System requirements for CE are much lower than the original! This version uses less than 4gb of RAM, and can maintain higher framerates on much weaker systems.
A revamped control scheme for Controllers.
Multiplayer is snappier and more reliable. No need to have a fast connection either!
Faster loading times.
A complete overhaul of the UI.
Save files are 100x smaller (~2-4 mb per world compared to 100mb+ before.)
And loads of other minor changes.

There is one thing to note however:
The world size is no longer infinite. But limited to 512 x 128 x 512.
We are confident that this change doesn’t impact the general gameplay of Staxel but the good news is that the original version isn’t gonna go away.

Now some of you may be wondering ‘…doesn’t this sound familiar? What happened to that console version we’ve talked about?’

Staxel is out now on Nintendo Switch!

The Switch version of Staxel is the same version as Staxel CE. It features everything mentioned above. Including some features of its own:

Touchscreen support for Menus
While Docked: gameplay will be 1080p and 60fps.
While in Handheld: it will be 720p and 30fps.

Note: This version does not support crossplay with Windows, Mac, or Linux.

We’ve put a lot of time and effort into this port so we hope that you enjoy it!
