It's here! the final boss, some of you already ran into a "work in progress" version of him over in level 15/16. Well now it's final, and defeating him will be the final task to complete the game.
Also noticed some of you got very close, or even over, the 2 hour mark for a single run.. wow! I really thought people would be able to play in an hour max, so 2 hours would be a safe bet. Apparently, I was wrong. This does mean the leaderboards needed a reset and change due to the wizardry going on fitting all that high-score info into the Steam scorelist. The max amount is now 5 hours, if you go over that, it will just round to 5 hours. Obviously the faster times will get a higher-ranking, so don't take too much time to kill those aliens.
Further more a LOT of fixes and improvements, so go dive in and have some fun.
Next week will see the gates open up as the game officially enters Early Access and will be available from the Steam store. Just a few more "must do" items on my list before that, and once it hits EA I'll be pushing various new ideas and things I still have on the list
again: feedback is welcome! idea's as little as items or alien-types can spawn whole new ideas, so keep those coming !
