Well, it's been a long road.
Ten years in development; one year of Early Access. Now, it's finally over.
If you've been following the Early Access releases and you're wondering what's changed in this release... it's a big one!
I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me during this time - our playtesting sessions have been enormous fun and absolutely invaluable. I am really pleased with how the game has turned out. It's lightyears away from how it looked even just one year ago.
I really hope you enjoy it!
If you have any comments, questions or suggestions, please drop them in the Steam forum and I will endeavour to respond as soon as possible.

A new version has just been released, featuring a brand new multiplayer game mode: King of the Hill.

Work on Abacus is progressing well, and the new version adds some meaty features. Without further ado, let's take a look!
Now you can jump into a game with your Steam friends with ease - no IP address or port forwarding required.
You can now create as many save games as you like, and view a summary of your progress on the save select screen.
The Scorcher has been heavily revamped - now you can expect more flames, and less lag! What's more, the flames now set players on fire, allowing for hit and run attacks. Flames cannot be blocked by the Shield, making the Scorcher a good counter for blocking players.
This release also adds a number of bugfixes and quality of life improvements.
See the readme for more details.

Parallax Layers - the mountains, trees and celestial bodies that can be seen in the distance - can now be customised to a much greater degree in the editor.
Any number of parallax layers can be added, and various properties can be configured, including their distance, offset and scroll speed. In addition, all of the existing story mode and multiplayer levels have been revisited to fine-tune their parallax layers, resulting in a much more visually pleasing experience.
For more details, see the readme.
14 Achievements have been added, ranging from easy to... well, good luck! Several bugs have also been fixed in this release. As always, see the readme for full details, and please let me know if you encounter any problems.
