Hi everyone, just as the main menu has promised the whole month, today is patch day. And we have a huge list of new stuff coming your way. Please let us know in the forums what you think of the changes and the new features. We also created a video to show off some of the new features https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhwWuM514Us See you in game :) Simon and Oliver Changelog:

• Added: a completely new area in Frozen Colony. You can fly into the planet now!

• Added: a brand new song for Frozen Colony and the soundtrack
• Added: A completely new laser. Soooo many laser beams!
• Added: a new mechanic for the new laser to hit enemies. You simply have to line up your crosshair with the enemy you want to shoot and the lasers will hit... most of the time :-)
• Added: new character: The Bat!
