Hello Everyone,
This is the Metal Unit Development Team.
First of all, we'd like to thank the whole Metal Unit Community for all of your support and feedback. It goes without saying that we've learned a lot over the past week thanks to your questions and comments.
So to show our gratitude for your help and to reward your interest in our game, we'd like to share the following major updates with you. Please note that we'll have many other smaller updates going forward as well.
As for the timeline, we're hoping to complete everything listed below by the end of this month (February).
Adding Chapter 4
The new level added will be the Lava Chapter. Just like the name suggests, this chapter will be filled with lava and feature several new monsters. But that doesn't matter to Joanna, she's focused on her mission.
There will also be a new campground and dungeon added that match the overall concept of the Lava Chapter.
Pray for a special item after your adventure!
Adding an Upgrade System
Through the new upgrade system, players will be able to acquire a wide variety of helpful skills.
We received a lot of feedback in regards to Metal Unit being rather difficult for some players, so we think this upgrade system will help lower the difficulty level to a certain degree.
New Boss!
Once you've cleared the main story boss once, you're not done yet. You'll find another boss waiting for you once you re-enter the game. For example, once you've cleared the Dragon boss in the Forest Chapter, you'll find something altogether different the next time you visit.
As for the Snow Chapter, there still isn't a different boss that appears after you've cleared the level once, but this will be added soon. The same goes for the Lava Chapter which will be added in the near future.
Steam Achievements, Trading Cards & Badges
We're going to be adding a bunch more Achievements in addition to the temporary ones currently in place. Trading Cards and Badges are also in the works.
Playability & Balancing
We are paying close attention to everything you have to say and are working tirelessly to improve the game's overall playability and balancing. Your feedback is super helpful and we'll do our best to reflect your opinions/ideas in future versions of the game.
We're checking all of your comments around-the-clock, so please let us know your thoughts!

Full-Version Launch in Q2 2020
After updating the game this month and testing its overall stability, Chapter 5 (the Deep Lava Chapter) will be added. This chapter will include the game's ending and is the absolute best part of Metal Unit!
After updating the Deep Lava Chapter, we plan to focus on the game's balancing and ultimately deliver the full version of Metal Unit by the end of 2Q 2020.
Of course we will continue to update the game after its full launch and look forward to making Metal Unit the best game it can be!
Thank you and stay tuned~
