The once lost to time chapter has now been found, experience the story as it was meant to be told through five brand new tracks including a new boss battle:

– F-777 – Airborne Robots
– Kommisar – Last Tile 海底撈月
– Shirobon – Born Survivor
– MDK – Interlaced (JS&B EXCLUSIVE)
– Shirobon – Spider Dance (Remix)

You can play this new chapter once you have completed the Story mode, and if you’ve already done that, well, it’s somewhere in there, I’m sure you can figure it out.

These tracks can also now be found in the wild in both of their forms in Challenge runs and in Playlist/Party mode once completed in the Story Mode.

Story mode is for babies? Well, put your proverbial money where your pie hole is, because this update also bring Hardcore to the Story Mode!

No matter what difficulty you choose, we hope you enjoy the completion of our little story that took us a whole three years to tell.

The passion y’all have for our game is what drives us to do more, we couldn’t ask for a better community of rad people.

Cheers and to three more!

– The JS&B team
