Hi everyone!

One of the two main features that we've promised is now officially available on Steam!

Save & Quit!

We're finally able to bring you the new feature, which lets you close the game and come back later to continue playing the same run. We're sorry it took so long, but it required a lot more work than we thought. Still, we strive for the best and hope this new feature will be a help to all of you, as well as a great foundation for the online session loading system, that's needed for the upcoming online co-op mode. Currently, both single-player and local co-op games can be saved but keep in mind that you can only store a single save-state at a time. The system allows you to exit the current run and reload it later at any time, except for these cases:

• While fighting any of the mini & main bosses,
• In the tutorial level, as well as some other plot points of the game,
• Inside secret & sketch trap levels/events,
• If the application is force-quitted (e.g. ALT+F4).

These restrictions were added mostly to decrease the possibility of something going wrong with the save file, as well as to limit the abuse potential. There are also lots of fixes and small improvements to the game, but most of them were related to this new feature. Thanks to everyone who tested the beta build - You're awesome!

Accolades Trailer

You might have missed a new trailer we pushed out some time ago, so here's a quick link to it. Again, we wouldn't get the coverage we got if not for the help of our player base. So, think of it as our shared success :D [previewyoutube=QisyK4_mg0I;full]https://youtu.be/QisyK4_mg0I[/previewyoutube]

Upcoming content

We understand that lots of you are waiting for Online Co-op mode and some new stuff to be added. That's why the upcoming update will feature two new game modes, which we won't spoil much about for now, but you should start practicing your best moves ;) In addition, we're actively working on adding the online mode sometime later. We hope you'll stay with us, as we're working on ways to crank up the combos together with your buddies online! Be sure to follow us on any of our social media profiles for updates and maybe a small teaser or two?
