A popular request since the early days has been having a smaller arena to play in. The standard play area can seem big for the action hungry players or when it's just you and a couple of friends. Fear not as you now have the option to play in a smaller map, ideally suited for 4 players or less but by all means go crazy with more if it's chaos you're after! All current multiplayer modes support the small map size.
A couple of other tasks that have been sitting on my to-do list for a long time have been completed as well. Ice can now break so be careful out there! Fluctuating Market game option on the other hand enables variable Shop prices - Better stock up on those discount Nukes!
Finally there's been a few changes on the Endless mode. Turns out the end-game was pretty much broken and you could go on forever with a certain setup. Thanks to "Teams Medic" who was pushing me to try harder and harder for that leaderboard top spot. I suicided at 43min but have since deleted that score. I'll keep tweaking this mode until we find a nice sweet spot - something that is challenging but fair. Note that leaderboard scores are likely to reset before reaching v1.0.
