addedLet's start with the maps. They are all locked and must be completed in sequence order. Advancing through with increasingly more difficult high scores. Your high score will be updated to the new Leader boards for you to compete globally or with your friends.

addedI am also proud to announce a new character. The Spider Diamond which explodes on death and gives you 5 bullets for your assault rifle and 1 shell for your shotgun. The spider diamonds come consistently and gives you plenty of chances to replenish your ammo.

addedAnnouncing new power ups - The red diamond now turns your assault rifles into a flame thrower for 45 seconds. The pink diamond gives you 8 supersonic shells loaded into your shotgun. The blue diamond drops a grenade on death (so satisfying to see your revenge kills). Ammo for the power ups have also been re-arrange to improve your experience. The power ups that increased speed have been adjusted to make you faster. Sniper rifle has been adjusted for closer combat game play.

addedFor the actual game play I have added in a alternating spawn system which includes multiple locations so you don't spawn right in front of the Bots. Assault rifle and Shotguns fire rate have been increased to improve the game play. Maps have also been improved by re-arranging the diamonds, adding in teleportation to the office and giving Pyramid a complete remodel.

addedAdded in audio to improve game play which include a countdown and power up available sound. I also adjusted the audio for assault rifles and a long overdue mute button for the guns. I also added a button layout map during the countdown. The cursor locks when you select a map and auto lock cursor after exiting the pause menu.
