EDIT: We've raised over $500, and I am now able to pay for the servers! Thank you to everyone who contributed!

---

This would be great news if not one problem: because of a spike in bandwidth usage, server costs suddenly went up as well.

For the month of May, I have to pay $890.43 for the servers. If I don't pay until 7th of June, the game will get limited to 20 concurrent players.

Right now I could pay ~$400 without the risk of starving or losing the roof over my head. But ~$500 more would remain to be paid.

If you happen to have spare money and are able to help, here is my PayPal:

On a more positive note, the next update will implement hard bot difficulty and an in-depth tutorial, as well as a few UX improvements. Should come out some time this month.

  To prevent MMR inflation, you can now lose MMR if you won but didn't meet expectations set by your MMR.
  See my reasoning behind it here:

• MMR Reset and MMR Leaderboards
