Hello, hello and hello! This week we were thinking of just releasing a small bugfix update with no new features, but that wouldn’t be very fun would it? So here we are, we’re releasing the game’s first sort-of enemy Nana Ricketts into The Wonky Wagon!

Evolution of the idea.

She brings the pain and kicks a lot of butts!

Keeping the blog post fairly small this week. Give the update a try (if you’ve pre-ordered) and let us know what you think here on Game Jolt, or on Twitter or Facebook! Be sure to check out the oscilliating game speed we released last week too. :)
