We have made some minor changes to most levels and added the last 2 extra levels! thatruDish With this update we have reset the leaderboard too, as we are unsure if every level can be beaten as fast as before the update. We have now also made the modkit public, so everyone can make maps for the game through Unity and Steam workshop!

Development Blog #1 - Road Map and Beta Testing
Hi Everyone,
Development is going pretty smooth so far, and it looks like we will reach our planned release date, which is around the start of August. The date can change a lot though, depending on various of factors. We are two developers on the game, and as we are both students, we don't always have time to work on this.
We have now made a public road map for you to see how far into development we are, and what features we plan to implement into the game.
Testing is a very important part for us, as we want to make sure the game feels good, out of bugs and enjoyable. Therefore we have opened up for a signup form, where we will let a limited number of players be able to play and help test the game.
If you got any questions about the game or this post, you are free to ask them here or under discussions, and we will be happy to answer them :)
Road Map
The gameplay part of the game is mainly done, such as mechanics, levels and leaderboard. However, there is still a lot of features we are planning to implement before release.
You can see the planned features on our public road map: https://trello.com/b/Deaxwt8y/extricate-roadmap
Beta Testing
Currently we have a small group of beta tester helping us test the game and provide us with feedback and suggestions on how to make it event better. As we want to make sure the game is fun to play at release, we have opened up for beta signups allowing a limited amount of you guys access to our closed beta.
Keys are initially given out as 'first come first serve', but should we receive a lot of request we will change it to random selection.
In return we hope that you will provide us with feedback on gameplay and bugs, as well as give us your suggestions on how the game could be even better.
