Major update

THE GYM BROS UPDATE

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Dear players,

I am thrilled to announce the release of the first major update to the game! This update includes multiple balance fixes, as well as exciting new content and features.

New Content


This update introduces the ability to recruit "gym bros," which allows you to unlock more biceps to workout at the same time. This leads to increased volume and repetition points. Additionally, we have added two new ascension perks that boost and prolong the salt effect.

Cosmetics


You can now customize the appearance of your arms with "skins." There are four skins available from the start, with an additional three to be unlocked by recruiting new gym bros.

Future Updates


I have plans for a future update focused on customization. This update will include a Steam Workshop feature that allows you to create and share your own custom skins for arms and weights, among other exciting tweaks.

Balance


There have been significant changes to the game's balance, particularly with regard to ascension prices and effects. These are now exponential, making the late game more engaging. Straps are no longer useless in the late game, and salt is now more powerful, with the ability to be upgraded with ascension points.

Thank you for playing the game, I hope you enjoy this update!
