addedThis update is a bit of a continuation from the previous one where we introduced the workbench. Now that workbench has additional things you can do - cannon upgrades! Go have a look what's currently available and feel free to suggest new ones if you got any.
changedThis needs its own mention - yes, there's no more respawning battles. Believe me it wasn't a feature meant to annoy anyone, but it surely got some people upset. The original intent of this was to have a risk/reward aspect when going back to already visited rooms. Needless to say it was either poorly executed or a bad idea in the first place. Nevertheless, there's safer travels now.
changedAs you can see the balance and bugfixes continue. This sometimes feels like a game of whack-a-mole, but as long as it's better than the previous version then we're heading in the right direction!

The next update will likely land sometime in January given the upcoming holidays.
