Version 6.0.0. is live with new servers in China and USA.
The servers use different connection method now, so it should all work much faster. The previous US server had bandwidth problems and China server was shut down for a while.
The Hong Kong server is going to be removed as no longer necessary.
Please update to 6.0.0. to avoid having connection problems.

关于国区服务器连接失败的小伙伴看这里啦!
Notice: the following information about server connection is only relevant to players who live in China, thus the text is in Chinese. If you are outside of China, please disregard this post. Thanks.
- changed the online server code to allow adding/removing servers without having to rebuild both the server and client code. Because of this, everyone has to upgrade to a new protocol to be able to play online. - added a new server in China East region for players who had problems connecting to Honk Kong server. Depending on usage, the Hong Kong server might get removed in the future
Make sure you update to 4.2.3 or higher if you want to play online games.
Turkish translation is available
Version 4.2.2. is online:
- Added Turkish translation.
German translation is available
Version 4.2.1 is online:
Full German translation. Unlike most other languages, this was done by a professional translator who isn't a regular player of the game. In case you notice that some of the translation is missing a point, or have a suggestion for improvements, please comment below or contact me at support@bigosaur.com
Also updated a bunch of other translations
New feature: when you select the option to enter a custom seed, the value defaults to the seed of the last game you played. Note that it's meant for quick replay of the same seed without having to remember to write it down, so it doesn't work after the game is restarted.
Bugfix: after getting a bubblegum and shooting at least 2 orbs, some of the orbs would get destroyed instead of bouncing against walls and obstacles. This is now fixed
This is a warmup. One more big update is planned later this year with demon enemies, hell level that requires doing something special to unlock, new items, weapons, pets, etc.
Have fun playing!
New US server
In order to provide better online experience for players on the West Coast of USA, the New York server is replaced with a new server in Texas, USA.
Make sure you update the game to version 4.1.9 or newer to be able to access it.
The old New York server will go offline in a couple of days.
Have fun playing!

Updated some of the translations
Turkish and Korean translations are half-done. I added those to the menu. If you speak those languages, please consider chipping in with some translation so that we can get it to 100%. You can access the translation interface from the Settings menu inside the game.
