Hey FranknJohners, New exciting update this Thursday. Have added a new mini-game to the game, well the only mini-game. Plus some fixes and tweaks to the main game. Details of which are in the release notes below. The new minigame is called FranknBall, a 2 to 4 player competitive football (or soccer depending where you are) mini-game. I think it plays a bit more like air hockey than anything. Just a bit of fun really. Made it over a week last summer and thought it'd be fun to put up and see what people think. Can be accessed through the main menu. Give it a go and let us know what you think. Anyway, till next week. The Smithers of Bits
