addedFirst of all, let me wish everyone very happy new year! I wanted to finish 2023 with a bang, and the new level, Misson's lagoon does just that. Avoid the cannon volleys of a huge battleship, while fighting the French colonial forces. I wanted to release the next map too, but I got sick :C . For spoliers you can visit the Borington Discord dev diary.
