FranknJohn Update 0.5.3 - FranknBall Mini-Game

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

FranknJohn is a horror inspired action roguelike, where your head is your weapon! Young FranknJohn is a failed experiment of a demented scientist, Dr Harmin. He wakes, with no memory, in a cell, with a head that can only stay on his body with the help of a chain. FranknJohn is far from helpless however, as his flaw becomes his strength - he can swing his head wildly round to smash away the plethora of strange creatures that roam the house of horror...

Bug Fixing

We have put a lot of effort into making sure FranknJohn is as bug free as possible, however the game is in Early Access so it is unavoidable. We will do our best to squish them as soon as they present their ugly heads.

A game like this lives or dies on it's balance, so expect a lot of tweaking to occur throughout Early Access.
