    Haha I noticed you were dethroned on world 2 yeah, you've got competition!

    But the real challenge will come with the update.... I'm cutting it down into several updates so I can get this important one out first with the new difficulties.

    I really needed to think outside the box for some multi-kills...

    Looking forward to the updates, even though they will probably cost me my lead on GC :roll eyes:

    Those grenades are pretty powerful btw, you can blast metal cases thru a wall:

    Hi Pantsjo,

    I have the small update that I’ve still haven’t fully tested or finalized. I don’t have a date yet, but I hope to be able to finish it next week.

    I wanted to bring you guys some new, rich updates with a lot of new things and content, but unfortunately, it looks like it’s not going to be possible… Unfortunately, the game was a big failure in sales. Most of the players are using pirated copies, that is, at least 87% of the user base is pirated. So unfortunately the grand majority of the users you see on Game Center are not paying users, the game was a financial failure.

    I worked on this game, by myself, for 9+ months. That is, all the code, design, art, animations, sounds, levels, tools, were done by one guy with a laptop. With the exception of the music and the basic designs of some levels, everything else was created by a single developer. Friends, this is an insane amount of work. It was only possible in that timeframe because I nearly killed myself working non-stop to get it done. Sadly, the result was burnout and an empty wallet haha. So as much as I wanted to bring you rich updates, it seems like it won’t be possible. The amount of work required to do such updates is great and I don’t have any way to finance it either.
    I’m truly sorry it resulted this way. I really wanted to give you guys some awesome new stuff. Perhaps something comes up in the future which will allow me to do so. But as it stands right now, it’s simply not possible…

    Thank you so much to you guys for your support and patronage, though. I truly appreciate those of you who enjoyed my work and were generous in supporting my work. Thank you.

    I was in the 13%. Terribly sorry to hear this news. There should be a crackdown on piracy.

    So sorry to hear that, I mean about your much too low return on investment. If it means something, I very much enjoyed the game and hope your qualities, which you apparently have in abundance, as a developer will pay out in some other way!

    Donny, Saosji,

    It certainly means a lot to me, trust me. I'm very thankful to you guys who supported me. If not for people like you, then it would have been worse!

    Thank you so much for those very kind words, saos. I certainly hope my next works will be both very enjoyable for you guys and fruitful.

    Ugh, that's terrible, the piracy I mean. I fully agree with Saosijs. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and for what it's worth: I think that all the time you spent on it was time well spent.
