Update 0.7.0: The Boss Battle Begins!

Mom is still alive!

It’s been a while since our last update, but don’t worry, Mom is still alive and in need of saving! And now, she’s in more danger than ever… because a new boss battle has arrived!

This update introduces a brand-new boss mechanic that ramps up the challenge in your journey to save Mom. The boss marks the final level of this region, but we’re not done polishing it yet, your feedback is vital! We’d love to hear your thoughts on the new area, the boss fight, and any suggestions you have to make it even better.

But that’s not all! We’ve also been hard at work on a new biome filled with fresh levels, visuals, enemies, and mechanics, all centered around the same beloved Mom. Oh, and we’ve started development on the fourth playable character too.

For now, here’s what’s new in this release:
