As weather is getting colder in our Northern hemisphere, water starts solidifying into ice and so does our update! We had a bunch of sneaky updates since our last update post. Most notable changes are:

• You now keep all adapted Zooids throughout runs. It means that with every replay extra Zooid selection list grows with new zooids. We thought that previous behaviour was just unpleasant for inexperienced players and nothing of value for experienced ones.
• There are new Powerups - Damage Increase and Cooldown Efficiency Increase
• And exactly this update features new sprites for Buginis environments.

• Advena movers regenerate energy on hit - we hope that this will play well with Advena's aggressive idea
• Saenus movers have a little pushing effect as their pusher - even better defensive Saenus capabilities, we'll see how this goes
• Buginis movers decrease cooldowns of neighboring zooids by 10% - plays well with Buginis skill
• oriented breed. Since skills are not separated for each zooid and connections can be more intricate, mean value for cooldowns is used. For example if you have a Flak with 110% Cooldown Recovery and another with 120% CR, skill cooldown will be reduced by 15%.
• Cra'Than movers have additional connection points - crazy, we know, let's see how this works!
• Vagorian movers regenerate health - destined to bump into spiky things, Vagorians have evolved to regenerate their wounds,
