I had a lot of feedback regarding an Endless mode, and I attempted to implement a version of it, but it became apparent that the game, as it is, does not mesh well with an endless mode.
So, instead of including a half-working mode, I decided against it.
I'm sorry if you were looking forward to this. I hope you can still enjoy the game as it is with the new gamemode :)

If you encounter any bugs or unintended behaviour, please create a new thread on the message board here on Steam, and I will try to make sure it is fixed
