A fresh coat of paint. Ships, ports, crew and the cockpit are redrawn as smooth, detailed artwork, and every port now has a sharper, larger view from the dock. Jumps stay inside your cockpit: watch the port fade into warp and your destination rise into view. New loading screen, a simpler fixed cockpit, and a lighter download.

Fixes a bug in the last update where starting a run could leave you on a blank screen. Runs, the market and the docks all load normally again. Sorry about that, and thanks for flying with us!

A smoother run through the void. This update improves responsiveness and stability throughout the game, cleans up the interface, and gives each destination its own clearer arrival artwork.

A lighter, cleaner Void Runner. The download is now under 40 MB — about a third smaller — so it installs faster and takes less room. Ships now wear just their main paint colour, with nothing stuck on top: no badges, emblems, stripes or bolted-on add-ons. Keepsakes and cockpit trinkets have been retired, and milestone rewards now focus on the paint colours you can earn.

Your paint job, done properly. Every hull colour and finish is now drawn into the ship itself, so steel, oxide, sand, navy, moss, ivory and plum all look clearly different, with no washed-out film on top. Rust, cockpit glass and lights keep their own colours. Upgrades like cargo pods, drives and weapon racks now look bolted on in the same pixel style, and emblems sit on the hull as proper decals.

Ship paint fixed: hulls no longer look washed out. Your colours now tint the ship instead of covering it, so the rust, panels and cockpit glass show through again.

Fixes Void Runner closing straight away on launch on iOS 27. Your saves, Careers and ships are all still there.
