Update 13 has been an important step towards the production of the story mode. This patch introduces many fundamental features like the world map, the save game system and a prototype of the dialog system. Balance and interfaces have also been improved accordingly.
What’s next?
From now on we will focus on creating the story arc and the game world, while keeping an eye on characters, items and challenge progression.

WORLD MAP
Added the world map in challenge mode. From this map, players can change their selected characters and choose the level they want to play. New levels become accessible on the map as players progress through the game.
PANIC BUTTON
We added a new “Panic Button” that makes the characters scream in panic. 100% useless
SAVEGAME SYSTEM (BETA)
The game now saves unlocked levels and collected gear for each character (using Steam Cloud). At the moment we can’t rule out the possibility of a savegame wipe before the final release of the game.
NEW AREAS
New Area: Crypt. Includes new bosses, enemies, items and rooms
New Area: Hills. Includes new bosses, enemies, items and rooms
New content for Volcano Area: bosses, items and rooms
DIFFICULTY SETTINGS
It is now possible to select between 4 different difficulty settings when creating a new game. The game difficulty can be changed any time using the options menu. Each difficulty tier increases the number and strength of opponents. The game difficulty increases by 1 additional tier every 2 players in local co-op.
DARKNESS
Some levels are dark, the players will need to find some light sources to light their path. For this reason we added a new throwable item, the lantern, that works as portable light source.
NEW RESPAWN SYSTEM
Players no longer respawn at the nearest checkpoint. Respawn now happens immediately after being defeated, with player characters raining down from the sky in explosive meteors made of rainbows. Meteors explode causing damage and stunning nearby enemies. It’s also possible to purchase Extra Lives from Dispensers.
