Major content update

The content update we've been teasing is finally here! To celebrate it, the game is also 20% off as part of a daily deal, and will be featured on Steam's front page! The discount will last for a week.

We're also really proud to announce that we partnered with Jupiter (yes, that Jupiter: The developer who has been making official Picross games for 30 years), and we made a Squeakross X Logiart Bundle on steam.
