Update #5 - Gold, Fire, and HUD - v0.5.7
As our first Major update begins internal testing, Atomic Picnic v0.5.7 brings fresh visual upgrades, UI improvements, and a new Fire Path so you can burn them all.
From the final model of the elusive Gold Goblin to the revamped Curios HUD and fiery new VFX, every battle is looking sharper. Plus, we’re rolling out smoother combat text, more precise evolutions display, and a fresh state indicator for JD’s Active Skill - because every second counts when survival is on the line.
As usual, we’ve also tackled bugs and community-requested fixes, making progression and loadout management smoother. And while we’re still hunting down a few pesky issues (we see you, flying Ash 👀), this fast update is all about making every run more thrilling, responsive, and satisfying.
Let’s jump into the details:
