• Makes Pollution Peak prettier. RIP your GPU.

Hello drivers, we just pushed out a small fix to an issue where vehicles would sometimes bounce into space after riding the rails in the forest. Vehicles should no longer bounce into space.

• Fixed an issue where grind rails would sometimes launch players when reaching the end of the rail.
• Fixed an issue where the Monstro suspension would often end up in a bouncy state.

Hello drivers!

Thank you so much to everyone who has joined us on our indie game journey with Pest Apocalypse! We are super excited to be sharing it with you. The mechanics have been hard at work and have prepared a bigger update to improve your hyper realistic pizza delivery experience!

What's Changed

• Extraction pipes will now suck you in like you're some kinda of mushroom royalty obsessed italian plumber. No more crashing into the side walls of the pipes!
• To help improve your mental relaxation when surrounded by hordes of monsters, the game will now show you what items and passenger combos create ultimate versions! How handy!
• Do you feel safe by camping on ramps or buildings? CAMPING IS FOR COWARDS! YOU NEED TO DELIVER PIZZA! Enemies will now climb obstacles like a proper horde! NOWHERE IS SAFE!
• Do you have a favorite paint job? We will now remember it for you so you don't have to keep re-selecting it!
• The strange slug shamans in the scorch levels will now show how many of their spawn you must destroy to triumph over them!
• The game should now also work with controllers that don't have left/right triggers and sticks. You can now use the left/right bumpers and the dpad for controls.
• We added a new setting, you can now choose if you want your vehicle to flip on collision!

No need to remember what items or passengers you need! No brain, just drive!
Inside of you are two rats. None of them are safe on the ramps anymore!
No longer will you embarrass yourself in front of your shroom friends by driving around in a default skin on accident! Please tell us about any issues you experience and we will try to fix them. Now we will start working on the first proper content update! We hope you will look forward to it! Before you check out some other awesome news below, please leave a review if you haven't! It helps us out a lot! We are insanely excited to have been selected as part of the Godot Engine showreel! Check it out! [previewyoutube=n1Lon_Q2T18;full][/previewyoutube] We have also been voted into Top 100 indie games of the year in the Indie Game Of They Award over at IndieDB!

Hello drivers!

Thank you so much to everyone who has joined us on our indie game journey with Pest Apocalypse! We are super excited to be sharing it with you. Here is another small patch to handle some issues we noticed while we're cooking up a bigger set of fixes and improvements.

What's Changed?

• The camera shouldn't go flying around anymore during lag spikes, making them less sucky! Still sucky, just less!
• We smoothed out some rough terrain in the forest!
• Apparently there was a floating ramp in one of the forest levels? How spooky! We grounded it properly now!
• The lava in the scorch was glowing a bit too glowy-ly! We spoke to it and it has calmed down a bit now! We hope this makes the scorch level easier on the eyes!

We are still working on some bigger fixes, thank you for your patience! And before you stop reading, pretty please leave a review if you haven't! It really helps us out a lot! Thank you for being part of our indie dream Kikimora Crew

Hello drivers!

I hope you are ready for our final demo update before Pest Apocalypse releases on December 4th!

First of all, what's changed:

• We've done a polish round on ramps and jumps! We hope your sunset dives will be even more epic now!
• Your save files have moved and are now in a stable place so your progress from the demo should work in the full version!
• A bunch of small UX fixes that we hope buff out rough edges you might have been annoyed by.
• Hopefully the game will stutter a bit less when loading stuff for the first time. We're still waiting for an engine fix for that issue.

A bit of bad news

We have decided to remove the Yugo from the demo. Sorry about that. If you enjoyed playing with the Yugo, have no worries, it will be there waiting for you in the full version of the game.

A bit of good news

The soundtrack will be available on Steam! You can wishlist it here https://store.steampowered.com/app/3374870/Pest_Apocalypse_Soundtrack Why does the soundtrack have a release date after the game? Because Adriano, one of our developers, managed to mess up the numbers... Everyone boo Adriano, booooo! We hope that will be fixed in the coming days so the soundtrack can release with the game.

Some more good news

As part of our launch we are taking part in two awesome events. Stay tuned for the exciting details!

Some screenshots cause you're awesome!

These are the challenge maps currently in the full version, we hope to expand this before or shortly after release!
Some the vehicle skins available in the full game. Can you guess what franchise is the inspiration behind the yugo skin? Thank you for supporting our indie dream We can't wait to hear what you think about the game, we are looking forward to your feedback on the Steam forums or Discord! Have fun, Kikimora Crew

Hello drivers!

We just pushed out a massive update with a change that will wipe your save files!

Reworked Progression!

The upgrades button is finally unlocked and you can unlock upgrades that will make you better and stronger across runs! Including a completely new upgrade, which lets you reroll the drops you get from pizza deliveries!
To unlock the upgrades you will need to get the TIPS you earn from pizza deliveries. You might also notice that leveling up your passengers during pizza delivery now looks and feels different. Passengers now come with 3 skill branches you can upgrade, depending on what you need them to be better at.
And don't sleep on the ultimate forms of passengers, you have to collect the correct item, but the powerup they get is immense!
In addition, you might notice that enemies no longer drop anything except small nitro canisters. This is because drops now need to be unlocked by playing the game, so if you want to cheese a boss using the wingblades, you better plan ahead, and make sure to pickup a powerup that is placed on the map instead of relying on a lucky drop!
This is what the unlock screen might look like, where you can choose what unlock you want. In a similar fashion you will notice that vehicles, weapons and even items need to be unlocked by playing the game and leveling up.
If you want to unlock the Norrlander, you will need to clear the second level! No more skipping the sludge for you! Master the sludge, become the sludge, embrace the sludge! And finally, we added the Pesto-pedia, a handy list of everything you have unlocked, and where we will over time add some proper lore to enrich the Pest Apocalypse with narrative!
Please don't consider anything written here as cannon, it's mostly tech-guy nonsense! We are super excited to be joining Next Fest with our new demo! Give it a spin and tell us what you think! Thank you for supporting our indie dream We can't wait to hear what you think about the game, we are looking forward to your feedback on the Steam forums or Discord! Have fun, Kikimora Crew
