Hello there!
This is a big week for us and we have many things to tell you!

We are participating in Steam SHMUP Fest and for the occasion we updated the Kritter Demo.

We will tell you more about it in the Patch Note at the end of this post but you should know that we tried new things for the version. Palyers are now starting with the Tracker and to add more fun to the game, we started to add some skill modifiers.

Kritters can now upgrade their weapons with Combustion and Cryo damages.
We are already working on other elemental damages: Electricity and Radiation. We took the liberty to change the traditional Fire/Frost/Lightning/Poison names to something closer to our robotic universe.

As we previously said, we are working on skill modifiers, but that’s not all.

We worked in anticipation of the Kickstarter campaign results and started to work on Structure Building.
This is a HUGE workload for an amazing feature but we already have a prototype!!!

We can’t wait to show you more about it in a next update.

An enormous THANK YOU to everyone who contributed! Because of you we reached our main objective in just a week!

But this is not over.
The Kickstarter campaign will be up until this Friday and it’s still possible to reach another stretch goal.
