What's new Fix for Linux users If you've been playing on Linux and experiencing a white screen with no game visible,…
The requirements for unlocking two of the 'grindy' achievements have been reduced. This was in response to feedback from several players. · Ultrahyperdrive - Hyperdrive 125 times (reduced from 250). · Yakety Sacs - Kill 25 Incubators (reduced from 25). These changes were made in the Steam back-end and no update is required for the actual game itself. If you restart Steam you should see the new…

This update is a COMPLETE rewrite of the game's code. It's ridiculous. In the last year and a half I've been learning how to script in C Sharp. During that time, I've rewritten the entire code-base of Switch 'N' Shoot, so it now uses 100% C Sharp instead of a third-party visual scripting tool. This means I'm able to get a lot closer to the nitty-gritty logic and optimise things more effectively…
