This is the fifth post-release update for Where’s Garry!

This update mainly focuses on massively expanding the Map Editor, while also introducing several gameplay changes and a ton of quality of life improvements across the entire game!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Last month, I uploaded a blog-post regarding this update's progress. In it, I've said that version 6.0 will be the game's LAST update.

Since then, plans have changed. Initially, this update was going to include a ton of new secret levels. However, I decided to split that into its own separate update: version 7.0.

This was done in order to properly deliver these new features and to not rush things out.

A huge amount of back-end systems were also rewritten behind the scenes, especially regarding enemy handling, map logic, performance, etc.

Android Support:

• You asked, and I delivered.
