Along with leaving early access, this update has some notable changes and improvements. Performance Increases Numerous physics and GPU optimizations. Level lighting. Some of the level light setups were heavier on performance with little to no visual gain. Lowered AI perception of the bots. Bots now only see about as far as the average human, and don't waste CPU cycles thinking about stuff happening on the other side of the map they can't even see. Remodelled/animated crates to improve their performance. Reworked Air Mines for better performance. Bug Fixes Fixed a bug on the challenge scoreboar

This update is a big one! It includes a number of new features and changes that have been planned or in development for quite a while, as well as a ton of bug fixes as we get ready to leave Early Access. One of the biggest changes is a complete overhaul of the bots. So much has changed with them that we’re giving them their own section in the announcement! We are also happy to announce the game works great on Steam Deck! Bots - Changes and Bug Fixes Bots do a much better job navigating around terrain and dangers. They actively avoid Kali’s wake, and react sooner to approaching dangers in level

The Fake Crate is the perfect way to set a trap for your enemies. Enemies will think they are getting rewarded with a weapon but will instead be damaged by the explosion as they hit the crate. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31482738/1e69289b56ede7cf49cfa91f78eee31db33f324f.gif Weapon Select System We have implemented a weapon select system.

We have also made a change to how balloon health and shields work. Sunrise Temple Tempt fate by flying through Sunrise Temple before things get too heated. This level offers plenty of cover, paths, and a deadly burning trap. Don't get caught in the open. Health and Shields Extra balloons now come in their own crate.

Instead, we wanted a full screen where we could put more content and make it easier to navigate. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31482738/83b89546a4fad3e0272e72f5d320259cce8c9297.gif Lava Pit Level Updates The Lava Pit has new texturing and a few new design elements include 2 giant skulls carved into the surr
