Patch (February 2024)
Pawn of the Dead has a better gamepad support now. Issues about DualSense has been solved. At right upper corner, correct gamepad glyphs are shown. Gamepad can rumble, too!
Also, improvements on visuals, optimization are made and some minor bugs are fixed.
Native Silicon support for macOS, Improvements for Linux
macOS Pawn of the Dead supports Silicon processors (M1, M2, etc.) natively now. It could already run on Macs with Silicon processors before, though, this update is about performance upgrade.
Linux Pawn of the Dead's Linux port is built with IL2CPP backend, it was Mono before. And Vulkan works better (you can use -force-vulkan parameter to open the game with that). This update is about performance, as well.
Windows build didn't need any change.
Gamepad support and more optimization
This patch provides full gamepad support for Pawn of the Dead. Also, we optimized the game more.

Pawn of the Dead has a new game mode! In Queen vs Zombies, you control White Queen, Elona. Your purpose is to prevent the undead reach the other side of the board.
You have a magical ability this time. For every 7 undead you kill with your sword, you gain power to instantly destroy enemies in vertical, horizontal and diagonal positions.
Instant random levels
In this patch, the random level generator mode provides you a level instantly. We have pre-generated hundreds of levels for you. We will continue generating more levels in the future.

Pawn of the Dead has a new main menu music, thanks to my dear friend, Çağlar Şahin.
