Hi everyone, Thank you dearly for assisting us during the past few months. Your feedback has been invaluable! The Beta is officially over and we are releasing the game on Thursday (October 6th) for PC, Mac and Linux! Yay! Your Beta keys won't carry over to the final game. If you liked the game, please support us by buying a copy! Cheers, ~Mark

If you liked the game, please support us by buying a copy! **But just wanted to give you a heads-up!** Before release tomorrow Valve will revoke free Beta access. The full game will only be available if you purchase it. You might get a very scary message saying you had a "Payment Issue" or some nonsense like that. It's a default message from Valve, and I wish they could change it, but it 100% HARMLESS and will NOT flag your account or have ANY negative repercussions whatsoever. I hope it is clear :) And I hope it does not scare you when it comes up (I find it to be a bit scary, myself). Cheers, ~Mark

Hey everyone, Thanks a lot for all the help with the game's Beta. Your feedback and gameplay videos have been invaluable. We are releasing the first major update to the Beta. The game is almost content-complete, and you can now finish it. Just be aware that the cutscenes are still very unpolished and their low quality can spoil the experience a bit. Our first major change in response to your feedback was the interface: you told us that it is too big and too "mobile-y". We made it big to match our inspirations (PopCap games from the early 2000's, mostly), but we understand that for today's standards they look uncomfortable and they make the game look like a mobile port. We hope you like the new look for the interface! Our Shop is still unfinished though, so it still looks ugly (sorry!). Next update: the ranked "Trials of Valhalla" mode! (that's the big green gate on Snail Planet, for those of you who asked). Cheers, ~Mark Features ------------ Act 4 is now accessible! All Mystery Levels are now accessible! The Boss Battle and Ending are now accessible (but cutscenes still suck though)! OSX and Linus versions! Enhancements --------------------- New interface scale and polish! Let us know what you think! :) Fixes -------- Fixed a bug where Lava Snails would target the exit squares; Fixed a bug where the Pirate Snails and Temple Snails visuals would change while attacking; Fixed a bug where 4:3 resolutions would not allow you to exit the board on the top left corner; Fixed a bug where the "Delete" button on the Viking Screen would show up in the wrong Language; Fixed a bug where Moon Snails would steal health from one another creating an infinite combo; Fixed a bug where the Ice Rifle effect would be crazy and floating around the screen; Fixed a bug where the Fire Trap effect would be misplaced when fired upwards; Fixed a bug where the price for Laser Sweep item would be displayed incorrectly on the shops; Fixed several minor text errors;
