Most of this effort is aimed at the upcoming full release (yes, it's coming soon!), but the demo didn’t get left behind either. It’s been hit with dozens of juicy improvements to make your arena experience even more chaotic and satisfying!
fixedMost important improvements:Health Upgrade Bug Fixed – There was a sneaky bug that gave players free health upgrades. It’s gone now—so expect a slightly tougher ride 😈.
addedMost important improvements:Visual Polish – We’ve added dozens of graphical tweaks, including better-looking projectiles for weapons. Your carnage just got prettier.
changedMost important improvements:Lacrosse Rework – The feel of lacrosse weapons has been improved for smoother, more satisfying gameplay.
changedMost important improvements:Progress Tree Balance – We’ve adjusted the global progress tree for better balance and made its structure easier to understand.
addedMost important improvements:Pink Barriers Added – No more falling off the edge of the level. Pink barriers now keep the action contained (and your rage focused).
