The v4.4 update is now available. It focuses on a new mecha, the final cinematic, translations and many optimizations/fixes.
The new mecha
A new mecha is now available: the deer mecha. As always, it has two variants: a head attack and a charging attack from the distance. It can only be found in the ice island.
Final cinematic, translations and more
Finally the game has an ending cinematic, which concludes the story.
The game is now translated in German, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian, Spanish and Russian.
