Explanation about Arcade Mode: This is meant for the hardcore players who want to show off their skills. The game starts at Level 1 and the 2nd lowest difficulty. The player then progress through the levels one by one with each level considerably more difficult. The game ends at the last Level End-Boss and your score is uploaded to the global Leaderboard.

Explanation about Free Mode: This is more of a free-style mode where you play the game any way you like. It saves the levels you unlock as well as your credits and score so if you die the game will auto Load the latest progress.

We are pretty eager to release this version but will hold on for a few more days to get rid of the worst bugs.
As this is more of a content update, the next update will mostly focus on fixxing bugs (new and old!).

Thanks for your patience and support!
