changedIt's been six years and people are still finding the game for the very first time! What a continued honor this has been. And now the Axe Cop game is available for consoles as of May 4th, celebrating the conclusion of Bad Guy Earth, a core part of the game itself! Since the game has been released for console, a huge wave of things have been caught and adjusted to make things a little more comfortable. The full list is at the bottom. I am personally happy that the game is now the most accessible it's ever been and hope many more people can play the game on whatever medium they like to game!
addedFirst up, we've made adjustments to the Water Serpent slide puzzle in the past, but this new update will allow you to break the spell Mutani Esu put in the room by just outright paying him a percentage of your money. Every 10 minutes the percentage drops down further.
addedWe can't make a giant update to the game without giving you something NEW, even if it's small. If you find this secret room in London near the end of the game you can interact with the King of All Time, who can bestow a super secret move upgrade to the Water Queen. In addition, we've added Junior Cobb as a new NPC in the town.
changedAnd finally, I've heard your complaints and I hope this edit makes things better! The bee segment has been changed! Bees now count for 2 and they have been re-scattered. Now every grouping of bees will contain four clusters of bees and the vegetation won't accidentally hide any of them. This should make this segment of the game significantly more comfortable and faster to get through.

It's been six years and people are still finding the game for the very first time! What a continued honor this has been.

I am personally happy that the game is now the most accessible it's ever been and hope many more people can play the game on whatever medium they like to game!

First up, we've made adjustments to the Water Serpent slide puzzle in the past, but this new update will allow you to break the spell Mutani Esu put in the room by just outright paying him a percentage of your money. Every 10 minutes the percentage drops down further.

We can't make a giant update to the game without giving you something NEW, even if it's small. If you find this secret room in London near the end of the game you can interact with the King of All Time, who can bestow a super secret move upgrade to the Water Queen. In addition, we've added Junior Cobb as a new NPC in the town.

Next up, a few major changes happened to help plays with the achievement NIGHT MISSION. Originally in Mission 5 you couldn't get the achievement unless you went through and got spotted by a frog. That felt a bit unfair so now if you can clear the dungeon with never having bought Frog Repellent, an item only obtainable after you fail 10+ times, it will trigger. In addition to make it easier, if you buy charcoal in town you can increase Fire Slicer's sight radius a little more!

And finally, I've heard your complaints and I hope this edit makes things better! The bee segment has been changed! Bees now count for 2 and they have been re-scattered. Now every grouping of bees will contain four clusters of bees and the vegetation won't accidentally hide any of them. This should make this segment of the game significantly more comfortable and faster to get through.

5/31/26 EDIT: If you were accidentally softlocked in this area inbetween updates, the game now checks for this. To fix your save to fight the giant bee you must go from the jungle, to the area above the waterfall, then back to the jungle and the bee will be waiting for you at the gate.
