Hello all!

Happy Holidays! Sorry about the radio silence ever since releasing this game into Early Access. I'll be honest, for a while the game was sitting and collecting dust, but I knew it was an incomplete project. I figured if I was going to release an update, it was have to be big, and it would have to be a surprise! Luckily, the time has finally come to reveal what I have been working on!

Here's the complete list:

Holiday Themed Main Menu


As a fun way to celebrate the holiday season, for the next few weeks the main menu will be decorated with colorful lights and falling snow!

New Mechanics


A few new mechanics have been added to the game, the main ones being a power generator and distractions. Almost all of the levels in the original Early Access release have been reworked to include these new mechanics.

New Levels


The total level of levels in the game has jumped from 22 to 35! There are now 5 new easy levels, 5 new medium levels, and 3 new hard levels. Some of these levels have new clear conditions never seen in the game before!

Background Music


At long last, the music volume adjuster finally has a purpose! Classical piano will now fill your ears as you try and beat each level. Different songs will play depending on whether you are in the main menu, the tutorial, or in a level.

New Insults


The number of different insults you can receive after failing a level is now over 50! Have fun reading them all.

New Art


You may have noticed that some parts of the Steam library and store pages for the game look different. This is because I have redone all of the Steam art for the game!

And of course, there have been a few minor tweak and bug fixes.

As you can see, there is a lot of new and shiny features in this update! Also, this update brings us one step closer to coming out of Early Access and into a full release. Hooray!

I hope this update meets your expectations, and maybe even exceeds them. Thank you to everyone for your support for this project!

The goal of an end of May or early June release has clearly not come to fruition. However, I'm not giving up on this project or anything. I just need a bit more time. To those who have been waiting for this game, I apologize. There's not much more I can do besides apologizing. W…
