Now that the voting period for the MVM game jam is over, we can finally release an update. There are more improvements coming down the line, so be ready! Give us a follow if you'd like to be updated when new builds are released.

This week, we've been busy.  We've heard your feedback and we've made a lot of awesome new changes. We really wanted to tap into the dark atmosphere of the game, so we've made a few design decisions to really tap into that.

First off, we overhauled the weapons and enemies. You'll notice a great deal of fixes in the changelog and as soon as you start up the game. We slowed down some of the enemy attacks, but  be wary! Some enemies will snuff your torch and the final boss has some newfound rage, watch yourself!
