There were a few issues with the last update that I thought were serious enough warrant a hotfix, so here it is. -Jon FIXES

The stationary kicking-practice-bots have found their way back to the tutorial. Why on Earth would they want to leave?
The server list menu now has a sane layout again. For that matter, this is probably the sanest it's ever been. For some reason it was such an insufferable faff just getting the headings to line up with the info that I considered just claiming the bizarre text discrepancies of the update 41 menu as part of my artistic vision.
I've regenerated the AI navigation data for the map Inception, as I believe it was out-of-date and causing the bots to get stuck in the round room.
I think the problem with global stats not showing that I mentioned in the update 41 patch notes may just have been some temporary hitch with the Steam servers, as it seems to have resolved itself.

OTHER CHANGES

There will now be 3 bots on a dedicated server for a lone human player.

Zero G Arena is an arena shooter with zero gravity, ragdoll physics, grappling beams and magnet boots. It's an intense combination!

The game is designed to work on multiple levels of play:

The novelty of the mechanics and the sheer fun of floating and swinging about the levels provides a fun experience at any level of play.
The outlandish hijinks that are enabled by the ragdoll physics, grapple beams and fast-paced action make the game hilarious fun to play casually with friends (or with friendly strangers on public servers...).
At it's core, Zero G Arena is a balanced, competitive game with an extremely high skill-ceiling. Mastery of the movement mechanics is of more importance than aiming ability. You may also be surprised by it's tactical depth (feel free to ask me on the forums for more about this).

Gameplay

Movement
You can toggle your boot magnets freely to switch between running on magnetic surfaces or floating with zero gravity ragdoll physics.

You also have a grappling beam, which can be used to pull yourself around and swing about while floating.
As well as these technological locomotive methods, you also have a powerful set of core movement abilities:

A set of basic jumps, which can be controlled intuitively using the spacebar and movement keys.
A wall-jump, which can be used while floating to bounce from wall to wall.
A crouch ability, which can be used to do a crouching slide on magnetic surfaces to dodge enemy fire.

Combat
Zero G Arena features a set of 5 futuristic firearms. All players start with the same default weapon and can acquire other weapons from pickups in the map.

Zero G Arena also features a pickup that can turn your grapple-beam into a weapon that damages other players on intersection.

Use your speed as a weapon with the melee kick! It's damage scales greatly with your speed relative to the target.

Game Modes
Zero G Arena features the classic Free-For-All, Team-Deathmatch and King-Of-The-Hill game modes, as well as these Zero-G originals:

”Capture-The-Sphere”: Like the familiar Capture-The-Flag game mode, except the “flag” is a large, floating sphere. Players must use their grapple beams to pull the sphere to their goal, while fighting off the other team.
”Spaceball”: A fast, team-based sporty game-mode similar to Soccer/Football. Players don't have any weapons other than a non-lethal “Force Cannon”, which can be used to shoot the ball across the map.

Features

Online multiplayer, with either dedicated or listen (player hosted) servers. Find other players on one of the dedicated servers, or host a private game for you and your friends.
Bots which are available for offline play, or on servers while you wait for other players.
No in-game monetary transactions.
A number of cosmetic options for your avatar, which are unlocked through Steam achievements.
