Hey everyone,
We're happy to announce that the Early Access V21.0 update is now out and playable in the official branch of the game!
This is a massive update including new Arena mode levels, a new Miami chapter, and new levels that focus on shorter/more jam-packed experiences.
Additionally the game now has translations for Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Turkish, French, and Spanish- you can change your language option in the Settings menu. Please let us know if there's any typos or issues, we'll strive to improve all languages as we head into 1.0.
1.0 update will include more languages, so stay tuned for that.
We've also begun work on Character Customization, this first iteration includes some head/hair customization- the next iteration of Suit Customization will include clothing and accessories.
But that's not all, there's much more including:
- Improved Diving
- Counter-attack overhaul
- 2 new Primary Weapons, the Nail Gun and Single Bullet Gun
- Crouching
- Many bug fixes, QOL improvements and new settings
- Various improvements to past chapters
