It took some time, but we certainly didn't just sit around all day!
Some time ago, we introduced the Crossbow to the mech arsenal. Drawing from that experience and your feedback, we designed new weapons.
We made significant improvements to the overall "gun feel". Alongside the guns, we added a new plant called Boomboo that produces the fruit necessary to craft cartridges (bullets) for them.
We also brought the intro to life with full narration and voice-over. Tru finally found his voice (and he’s not shy about using it). Just take a look:
With every patch, we improve the user experience and clarity of the game. In this update, we continue this tradition. There is now an XP bar, and your current level is visible on the HUD, along with a notification and shortcut when you have unspent skill points.
We have also upgraded the Characters menu tab, making it much easier to access a specific character's equipment.
