Mantisware

What changed in 0.6.0-alpha — 3 Nov 2026

• The game is now called Mantis Crusader (was Star Crusader): title screen, browser tab, share preview and the offline file (Mantis-Crusader-0.6.0-alpha.html).
• New home on the web: the Mantisware studio page at mantisware.gg, with the game at mantisware.gg/mantis-crusader. The studio page lists what changed in the newest release.
• A small Mantisware link on the title screen goes back to the studio page.
• Releases publish themselves: tagging a version builds the site and puts it live.
• Two more trinkets, completing all 24: - Blood Memory: shows the nemesis's *next* attack a round early, in orange beside its red marks. A tile in both flashes red and orange. - Breachman's Kit: the crusader searches crates for free.
• Crates can be searched during site fights: tap one to search it (1 AP), or tap it from further away to walk over and search. Any squad member can search, and a Mimic posing as a crate springs its ambush. Crate outlines now also show during site fights.
• The Eel Growth's surfacing marker is purple (orange now means Blood Memory).
