Update 12: It's Rainig Men

Hey gamers, get ready for a juicy update you won't want to miss!
This release is dedicated to the recent "sky-high adventure" of Yevgeny Prigozhin, a military criminal and former leader of the Wagner PMC, also known as "Putin's Chef."
Plot
Putler has a brilliant idea: Prigozhin could learn a brand-new recipe for the Russian soup okroshka in some other dimension.
So, he sends him on a culinary journey by dematerializing his plane at the right place and time.
Shoigu and Gerasimov succeed in executing, let's just say, the explosive part of this elegant ritual.
Yet, as Prigozhin embarks on his astral traversal, unforeseen complexities unveil themselves...
About Development
Well, folks. We were actually working on entirely different game features, but the madness of the Putinists perpetually derails all plans. SCRUM, Agile, Waterfall — nothing helps here!
We had to urgently do an unplanned reskin of Prigozhin, rendering him a translucent wraith bathed in an azure luminescence.
As a result, we got a bit carried away and ended up creating an in-game event featuring a unique environment, new mechanics, and even a mini-boss.

🎯 "Traktor Attack" power-up now appears only when there are 3 or more enemies on the battlefield

So, who do you think will be the next Putinist to get a "refreshing" reskin?
