Dear Players,
Deathtrap has just been released on Steam!
Be sure to allow your Steam client to update the game before you start it.
Due to the many download requests at once, you may experience a slight delay in downloading - restarting your Steam client should help.

Deathtrap Changelog - January 15
Updates to Deathtrap have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client (in on-line mode) is restarted.
New
Two new campaign maps added.
General Fixes
Fixed the sound ranges for some traps.
Monsters now try harder to stick with the shown path.
Fixed a bug with the Resolution combo box.
You can now remove an action by right clicking on it on the Skills window. (Note that removing the action from Left-Click will only replace it with your standard attack so you won't end up not having any skills at all.)
Monsters now aim at the end of the spell cast animation, not at the beginning. This should increase their precision.
You can now shoot through the Wolf spawner trap.
Fixed the aiming of some spells, it shouldn't shoot into the floor anymore.
Rearranged some of the trap passive upgrades so they are more consistent now.
Multiplayer:
Added a vote for map restart in coop mode.
Fixed a screen flickering when teleporting.
The game now correctly waits until every player loads the map.
Editor:
Added measurement to the Timeline window.
