Greetings Pips,
Today we have our first major content update for the game! In this update we have lots of new goodies for you to try such as new units, maps, music and a host of bug fixes.
The aim of this patch is to give the player more anti-vehicle solutions as that was a clear hole in the current meta. Additionally, we wanted to bring new challenges to face by varying up the gameplay with new enemies, maps and bosses. Lastly, we have some amazing new blood-pumping music for you to wage pixelated warfare to!
