This update is close to our hearts because as we've watched all the streams and videos players have shared this week it's become clear that ammunition shops should be a source of chaos, havoc, and cacophony.
To support this deep-seated desire from the community, we spent all week adding in deep explosion logic to the game and oodles of explosives to ammunition shops. All bottles and weapons in the game now explode with unique sounds and visuals, pushing around other physics objects and lighting nearby objects on fire.
We've also added powder kegs, which are an order of magnitude more powerful than bottle and weapon explosions.
Bottles and powder kegs have been added in to the procedural generation, so you'll hear them naturally as you set buildings around town on fire.

Added:

- Powder kegs that blow up, with a high chance of spawning in ammo shops and a low chance of spawning elsewhere - 12 new background songs
- All bottles now blow up when set on fire, they are still collectible - New spawner for bottles (press 4) - Procedural spawning at the supply store near the train station - Random 5-9s wait on powder keg explosions - Random 1-4s wait on kerosene bottle explosions - When you set guns on fire, they make shooty noises and shooty visuals
- Ragtime music plays on piano interact
