addedI know what you're thinking... Geez it's been ages since the last update and this is all there is? Yes. I wish I could have done more. I've started working on some very exciting new mechanics, however I did not manage to get these finished in time for this update. So rather than releasing incomplete mechanics, I decided to delay these to the next update while I work on improving and polishing these. This does mean that this year's spooktober update is a bit lacklustre, and for that I sincerely apologise. But I know that the next update will make up for it ;)

Happy Halloween fellow handymen! I hope everyone is having a spooktacular spooktober! it's time for our third Halloween update. It's not a big one but I've got some exciting things coming!

Here's what's new in this year's Halloween update:

  • The Halloween theme is back! As part of the Steam Scream Fest and of course, the spookiest day of the year!

  • Jack-O-Lantern flashlight!

  • Vampire face skin!

  • Candy bowl hat!

  • Number of ghostlings spawned in endless mode is more fair.

I know what you're thinking... Geez it's been ages since the last update and this is all there is? Yes. I wish I could have done more. I've started working on some very exciting new mechanics, however I did not manage to get these finished in time for this update. So rather than releasing incomplete mechanics, I decided to delay these to the next update while I work on improving and polishing these. This does mean that this year's spooktober update is a bit lacklustre, and for that I sincerely apologise. But I know that the next update will make up for it ;)

What are these new mechanics you might be wondering... Well I don't wan't to spoil the surprise but I think you deserve a little teaser:

  • Missions and level progression.

  • Ghost AI overhaul #2. With specialised ghost AI. Different ghost types with different behaviours and attack patterns.

  • Better room variation.

  • Dropping batteries for other players.

  • Steamdeck compatibility,

  • And MUCH more!

(* these mechanics are not final and may be changed or removed)

Enjoy, have fun and I wish you all a SpOoOoOoky Halloween! Ben.
