Hello drivers!

We just pushed out a massive update with a change that will wipe your save files!

Reworked Progression!

The upgrades button is finally unlocked and you can unlock upgrades that will make you better and stronger across runs!

Including a completely new upgrade, which lets you reroll the drops you get from pizza deliveries! To unlock the upgrades you will need to get the TIPS you earn from pizza deliveries.

You might also notice that leveling up your passengers during pizza delivery now looks and feels different. Passengers now come with 3 skill branches you can upgrade, depending on what you need them to be better at. And don't sleep on the ultimate forms of passengers, you have to collect the correct item, but the powerup they get is immense!

In addition, you might notice that enemies no longer drop anything except small nitro canisters. This is because drops now need to be unlocked by playing the game, so if you want to cheese a boss using the wingblades, you better plan ahead, and make sure to pickup a powerup that is placed on the map instead of relying on a lucky drop!

This is what the unlock screen might look like, where you can choose what unlock you want.

In a similar fashion you will notice that vehicles, weapons and even items need to be unlocked by playing the game and leveling up.

If you want to unlock the Norrlander, you will need to clear the second level! No more skipping the sludge for you! Master the sludge, become the sludge, embrace the sludge!

And finally, we added the Pesto-pedia, a handy list of everything you have unlocked, and where we will over time add some proper lore to enrich the Pest Apocalypse with narrative!

Please don't consider anything written here as cannon, it's mostly tech-guy nonsense!

We are super excited to be joining Next Fest with our new demo!

Give it a spin and tell us what you think!

Thank you for supporting our indie dream ❤

We can't wait to hear what you think about the game, we are looking forward to your feedback on the Steam forums or Discord!

Have fun,

Kikimora Crew
