Hey there, its Tony from Ant Workshop again! We've prepared the first update to Dead End Job which fixes several issues you've brought up since the launch of the game. Our goal is to provide the best possible experience so all feedback is appreciated! This update has a bunch of improvements and fixes:

• The Music Man achievement triggers correctly
• Linux players can watch the intro sequence now
• Fixed being able to double trigger promotions
• Fixed the Knife Knight from turtling a lot in certain circumstances
• You can adjust the sensitivity of aim assist, and it defaults to off
• You have to option to replay tutorial messages, in case you forget how to bust ghosts
• Some really boring minor tweaks to some kitchen furniture

To stop the patch just being a load of dull bugfixes we've also added 10 new items to the game in what we're calling the "Snacks & Attacks" update! This is a bunch of new stuff to eat and blast ghosts with, like a Chocolate Biscuit, Boxing Gloves and Toy Gun. But hey, I don't want to spoil too much here so update the game and find out for yourself. steamhappy Thank you all very much for your ongoing feedback and support! Cheers!

Dead End Job sends you into a madcap, Ren & Stimpy-esque world to bust up ghosts. It’s a procedurally generated, couch co-op, twin-stick shooter that straps a vacuum pack to your back, and puts a plasma blaster in your hand. For you, it’s just another day in the office.

Please note that Dead End Job supports mouse & keyboard controls for single player, but couch co-op requires at least one player to use a controller.

Familiar Haunts

You take on the role of Hector Plasm, a worker at Ghoul-B-Gone – ‘the Number One experts in paranormal pest control’ – as you’re tasked with heading to haunted offices, restaurants, and other everyday buildings before freeing them of unwanted guests. One minute you're sucking up specters, the next you're sucking up to your bosses, chasing that promotion.
Have you got what it takes to be the best at putting pests to rest?

Don’t Suck… Well, Actually Do

Exercise that fighting spirit, since every specter you snag and every resident you rescue is added to your client’s bill at the end of the job. Haunted by the ghost of your mentor, quite literally, you must learn the ropes and to save her soul before she’s forced to spend eternity as a spook (voted “Least Preferred Fate” in Ghost Hunter Monthly).

Kindred Spirits

Play alone or bust ghosts with a buddy in drop in / drop out co-op that works seamlessly within the main adventure. Plus you can play to an audience with Twitch and Mixer interactivity that allows viewers to help or hinder your assault on the afterlife.

Ghost Writer

Do you love 90's cartoons? Yeah, so do we, and we grew up on their stretchy squishy gross-out laughs. Our love for them spills over into the game like so much ectoplasm. See every nose hair in wacky, vibrant art that brings everyday items to life as screwball spooks to suck up. To top it off, the entire adventure is backed by music from the award-winning Will Morton (Grand Theft Auto series).
