Corporate greetings everyone!
The on-boarding process has received some much needed restructuring to help newly assembled Bit Bots find their way. The tutorial now only consists of a single level, with multiple rooms and easy to understand challenges which will cover most aspects of the action faced on the planet.
In order to boost employee-morale we’ve invested in some new musical pieces. As cream to the metaphorical cake we even added some fresh new challenges and achievements!
Further work has been made on the upcoming biome “The Lab”, but we’re not quite ready to set you loose there just yet. Please be patient a little longer!
If you run across any non-cactus bugs, nauseating visual input, or confusing behaviour, be sure to contact us using our common channels like Twitter or Facebook.
Or chat it up with the devs and other scrappers!
Make the corporation proud and do what you are programmed to do!. Remember: You are expendable, the resources aren’t!
