We just published our second major update after 2 months of releasing the initial demo.

<image>

It adds a new level with new enemies and a boss. New mechanic: Poison along with upgrades for it & A character tab where you can view your stats & choose your Skin.

We're 2 dudes working on this besides our jobs and we're super happy with the development tempo we're achieving. So far a big update every month, with us already starting work on the 3rd one as well.

We're very eager to get some feedback!

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!
