We put a lot of effort this month into upcoming features. A lot of them won’t be visible for a little while, but we’ll soon be able to start showing you all the cool stuff that the game will support in the final release!

In the meantime, we’ve put in a bunch of new toys for you to play with. First, we added a full set of new abilities for each character class. They really change the way each plays! We also implemented customizing each character’s loadout, so you can find a setup that works for you.

We’re also working on the tech to support customizing your character’s appearance. While all characters currently support it , only the Brute is customizeable at the moment because have a bunch of palette swaps for him. Let your creative spirit soar!

We’ve also added a bunch of little improvements thoughout to improve the experience, and we’ve got more coming! We hope you like the build!

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

I was bored, so... ManutKat.

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

Family band complete!

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...
