It's finally here! We've been working hard to get the Helper gamemode out for you guys. It is an asymmetrical co-op gameplay mode with its own levels. There are 5 new levels in total. The gameplay consists of the climbing you all know by now, but with the addition of a friendly Helper. The Helper controls a bow from the computer, and they can shoot arrows into the wall of the towers to help the climber reach the top of the tower. These arrows can be used to create handholds to help the climber reach new places or just to take shortcuts. They can even take care of a pesky guard or two.
In other news, some small bug fixes and tweaks are also in this update. The only major fix being the next level button in level 1 was taking players to level 10. Not exactly the difficulty curve we intended. We apologize for that.
We will also be making a new trailer to better reflect the current game, but due to circumstances that may take upwards of a week and a half.
Thank you for your patience, and as celebration for this update we are also putting the game on sale for a limited time starting 3/20/17 at 10AM so don't miss your chance!
