Hey everyone! New build is up: B06, codenamed "Lone Wolf"!
The biggest single addition to the game this week is the Challenge mode. It is a mode that's composed of a string of challenging scenarios, mostly single-player, that have a difficulty that ramps up from "trivial" to "impossible". The first ones are basically a big tutorial: they teach you the controls and the basics of the game.
In the current update, you'll find only a few challenges though, but don't worry: the biggest part of making that game mode was setting up the whole structure (which is what we just did), while more and more challenges will be coming fast in the following days and weeks.
Another cool thing we added are full-screen effects (see image above). They're currently active for every Quality level, but we'll give you a way to disable them in case they slow your computer down too much.
