- Controller Support
Available on PC, Mac, and Linux (tested on Ubuntu 16.04)
Linux version released
DEV NOTE: I spent about 4 hours last night working on uploading the Linux version. It took me that long because I don't really know anything about Linux and I made some stupid mistakes. I pulled out an old laptop and installed Ubuntu 16.04. It seems to work well. I'll do some more testing of course but I the mean time I'll release it to ya'll for more testing.
Now with 4 Player Arena Mode

Ready for Retail Release
Season 2 Water Biome Released
Sorry for the almost month between updates. When you are the only one working on a game and you get sick... things just stop.
Next up: Boss level for water biome.
Flame on!
A new weapon is added today. The Flamer. It is obviously it is a flame thrower. Still in the balancing, testing, and tweaking phase.
It is only equipped on one guy for now: Stilgar.
For testing purposes, I've reduced the price of Stilgar to 500g (this will go back to normal in the next patch).
Enjoy!
Custom Keyboard Controls
You are now able to customize your keyboard controls. Yea, for progress!
Co-Op Revive
If a player dies in co-op and the team has ran out of squad mates to switch to, the other player can revive the current player in the body of the last squad mate they controlled. I added this so the two people can continue playing together. The revived player will die if they take any damage, but they can heal with a health pack.
I hope this helps to make co-op a little more fun.
New Update - Space Worms
A new update is live featuring SPACE WORMS!
You will start seeing smaller worms from level 5-14.
Level 15 has a surprise :)
The worms will split in a piece if broken in the middle. They are also very fast. There are a few weapons that are very effective against them (I'll let you figure that out). The screen will shake and you'll hear a crunching sound when they are close to the player.
Space Worms Added
As per community request I've added space worms to the game. I have decided if they will be bosses/mini-bosses or just regular enemies. Check out the video, but don't laugh I died. :)
Not %100 on the graphics yet, but I'll tweak it a little and add it into the game next update.
What do you guys think?
