Next Week.
We're working on a BIG update... ;)
I know it may look like we slowed down and aren't releasing updates.
That's because we are working on a BIG update, I mean, really BIG, with a whole new system to scare you even more.
We just need a little more time before releasing it... but I promise you all will like it!
Back to Version 0.77a
Rolled back to version 0.75a (again)
So, we rolled back to 0.75a to make the game playable until we fix the new server.
Sorry for having to roll back again, but unfortunately some things get out of control when we want to upload cool stuff for you guys as soon as they're done.
We'll try and release updates on Mondays from now on, so we'll have the time to fix any issues that may appear before weekends.
Best,
Aymar.

Bugs
- Fixed bug causing crashes due to having too much sound streams at the same time.
- Fixed bugs causing minor issues when playing the Phantom.
- Fixed bug causing batteries to not be blinking in the beginning of a match.
- Fixed bug causing ghost lobbies to linger in the server.
