As promised, we tried to get loads of new features in this week, and we're happy to tell you that through herculean effort and diligent work, we've succeeded! Amongst a ton of stuff, we made a whole new mutant you can play as. And golden guns. And crowns that actually do something. Actually, feel free to stop reading this and start playing right now!

Next week we'll be fixing some loose ends in preperation for December. We'll be slowing down on the updates for the weeks after the next one temporarily, since most of the team will take a breather sometime in December. There will still be streams on every Tuesday and Thursday, although they'll generally be art-, music- or sound-related. We at Vlambeer do want to make sure the game is stable and has plenty of things to play around with this week.
We hit 10,000 sales earlier this week and wow, thanks so much for getting the game to such a staggering number so quickly! We're super humbled and thankful to everybody in the community. Do tune in on Tuesday and Thursday to let us know what you thought of everything in Update #7 and please do share the game with friends on Twitter and Facebook and all that.
Enjoy!
