Johnny's Awakened in our January update!

Johnny is now Awakened and has more magic skills right from the start of the game. In the Subway tunnels, you can use blink, shoot several enemies with one ricochet shot, destroy a fast enemy with an arcane missile, or explode monsters with a ground shot. Later on, you'll unlock an endothermic shot - and there's more to come in the full launch!

After finding his way out of the subway tunnels, on his way to St. Mary's cathedral, Johnny has to walk through Chinatown and fight the imps. Those little jerks throw bombs at him and keep blinking away from under his aim. And you thought you hated the spiders...

We know, the game is hard. It's supposed to be. But sometimes it's been hard for the wrong reasons - some of you have experienced lagging, and sometimes trees or buildings prevented you from seeing Johnny. For this update, we've improved the performance, and added object fading technology to keep your line of sight clear.

On top of this, we've been improving the particle effects, rebalancing gameplay, and making new camera runs. Even though there are still levels and features to add, the polishing work has also begun.

Next big update will be full launch! If you haven't bought the game yet and would like to get it for the EA price, you'd better hurry.
