since sliced... robot

Good thing I don't have epilepsy! This gif hurts me eyeballs! Also I have no idea what is happening in it...

Yes, you can either use the itch.io app to gracefully update it or download a new zip file and extract.

Jetpack is the big one. There's also a minor one that lets you get up quicker from the ground, and the upgrade tree has been re-organized a bit.

The two kick power upgrades have been removed, since they weren't that useful.

I think its only the arena that's changing

What is currently the entire game will be labelled "Story Mode" and left as it is for this update.

I'll return to it in future updates, continuing the story of human defiance. :)

I like the "defend the door" idea. That would be a cool moment for story mode! Perhaps one of your clones can defend the door while "you" escape!

Aiming for 8am PST.

you are awesome

Are you kidding? He quite literally infinitely expanded the game with Endless mode, redesigned the upgrade system, added an entirely new mechanic, and gave us Spider-tron 6000. What do you mean "didn't add anything"?

As for the "not taking ideas from the community", what do you expect for two weeks of exposure? The "suggestions" section is, as the name implies, for suggestions. I'm fairly new to coding, but I'd bet a lot of what in there (namely, new weapon ideas) would take a ton of re-coding, much less implementing.

I do my best to listen to the community!

The Feedback Form in the game has over 1500 responses, and a lot of them mentioned they wanted more levels and enemy types. Endless Mode also came up a lot, which definitely contributed to the direction of this update.

Many people also wanted a Sprint ability, which is why we now have a Jetpack.
If I had listened too closely you would have had a boring thing that just makes you run faster, rather than fly forward with special sword cuts. :)

I believe anything.

I'd personally recommend OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). While it looks very intimidating, as long as you're not trying to do anything too fancy, it's actually pretty simple to use.

it is very important to your health. :)

You see, that pixel was a very important pixel. Being a part of your head, it probably stored vital circuitry, and it melting could (and, apparently did) cause a system shutdown.

While, in game terms, it can feel pretty ridiculous that you were doing so well, and you die from what seems like pretty minor damage, what else do you expect the developer to do? Just how many vital components should your robot be able to lose before they shut down?

Without your ear, you would not be able to see!

Some things you can try:

• Get the itch.io/app and use it to download it
• Find the link from your purchase. It should let you download it from there.

Ah, sounds like you need to associate your itch.io account with the game!
Find your original purchase confirmation email and click the link in it. There you'll have an option to tie it to your account.
