Another nice juicy update, with a lot of improvements on existing code, graphics and functionality, and possibly a game-hanging bug somewhere (haven’t found it, but still wanted to release this version as it’s a fairly rare bug). Also added some destroyable scenery in the shape of crates on chains, taking those down is a lot of fun as it will crush most of the things moving underneath (including you!).
Some new enemies, environmental hazards and allround coolness.. so try out the game RIGHT NOW over at the Patreon site and enjoy
New thingies:
