A Word from The Team

First, a word on the gap we just removed: we know some of you wanted more room to breathe between fights, not less. We've been listening. This update first solves a different problem: twelve new reasons to never feel safe standing still. Pacing is the next conversation, and it's already started internally. Tell us how this lands, and we'll keep adjusting from there.

Twelve enemies added to three maps, one Picnic that's a lot less peaceful than it used to be. This was the first pass. More are coming; the road to 1.0 is as soon as you guys expected.

See you in the Zone, The Atomic Picnic Team
