Space Grunts 2 update v0.9.0: Daily Challenges and Dungeons

Space Grunts 2 update v0.9.0: Daily Challenges and Dungeons

I decided to implement Daily challenges into this version. Originally planned to be part of an update, but I was comfortable enough in my planning that this seemed like a good idea!

There’s also a new region added where you get to visit the Heroes of Loot Dungeons and find a very unique item to help you in the rest of the game. These special items are now placed in special, and more easily identified, crates with a little Orange logo on them.. just to make sure the player is more likely to actually find those.

The rest of this update is a huge list of fixes and changes. I’ve still noticed that some crates/barrels remain after being blown-up.. so that’s one of the few bugs I know are still in the game.. but getting close to a very solid version!

Which is great, cause this game will be released on iOS on December 3rd for the first time! even tho PC remains in Early Access for a few more weeks, and I might put out an Early Access for Android soonish.

I’m very happy that the bug I was hunting last week hasn’t shown it’s ugly head anymore, so I guess my big bug-hunt was worth the time! Check my vlog on that one here:
