Version 11 adds lots of new weapons including submachineguns, the fusion blaster and throwable bombs. Previously existing weapons got plenty of polish and tweaks as well. There are also big and small ammo items for each ammo type. Regarding monsters, a new faster nightmare fiend and a tougher horned demon are introduced. Work in progress versions of Level 20 and Secret 02 are included as playground levels to test the new weapons. Have fun!
