Are you feeling.. risky?

This version adds a fun new challenge that you can buy from vendors. It's called the "Syringe Gambit".

It costs $20,000 and will give you +1 free syringe, but only if you get 3 kills in a row without dying. If you can pull it off, it's worth it. But if you die, you'll lose the opportunity and won't get the $20k refunded. The choice is yours!

Other noteworthy changes are that daily challenges give +500 ACID instead of +300, and shields regenerate faster.

Have fun, bencelot
