Update #94 - Weeklies! - Weekend of October 16th

As you might've noticed, we've been pulling off some huge updates lately. We've been working extremely hard for basically months now, and you can see the results: Nuclear Throne is getting very close to being a finished product. Update 94 is probably the last enormous update, as after this we'll be slowing down, carefully wrapping up the ride and smoothly sailing into release. This means we're close to entering a relatively quiet phase where we spend all the time we need making sure NT doesn't break when you look at it. We'll jump right in with what most excites us: Weeklies. Weeklies run every weekend from the first minute of Saturday until the last minute of Sunday UTC, and are basically seeded runs with a set loadout. Your character, crown, and starting weapon are all fixed, and you won't find a single Crown Vault in your runs. The thing is, you can play a weekly as much as you want until the time runs out. You can try optimizing your route, mutation picks, and strategies, but also master some of the quirks specific levels throw at you. Every weekend will bring a new Weekly, and a new weekly leaderboard to conquer. Besides that, there's just too much to list here. The first weekly should've started right about 40 minutes ago. Go have some fun! Features

Nuclear Throne is a post-apocalyptic roguelike-like top-down shooter. Not 'the final hope of humanity' post-apocalyptic, but 'humanity is extinct and mutants and monsters now roam the world' post-apocalyptic. Fight your way through the wastelands with powerful weaponry, collecting radiation to mutate some new limbs and abilities. All these things and more you could do if only you were good at this game. Can you reach the Nuclear Throne?
