[h2]Audio Overhaul[/h2]

What started as a bug fix became a complete re-write of the Game Maker audio system using Ethan Lee's FAudio! Everything sounds better, and we laid the foundation for more dynamic sound possibilities in future updates.

[h2]New Character![/h2]
The mysterious Gunn Powder Knight is here! Helmsley is our first character update for Samurai Gunn 2. He can grind for unlimited ammo and stomp on bullets—even his own! Check out his movelist:



We know what you’re thinking... No, there is no ammo limit! Grind as much as you want, but don't get greedy! Helmsley gets weighed down by each bullet, making hoarders easy prey.

So who is this deadly machine? One of these new Versus stages may lift a ragged curtain on Helmsley's past:

[h2]New Stages![/h2]









[h2]New Lives Mode![/h2]

Introducing Lives Mode, the new default for online matchmaking! Can you cut down your opponents’ bamboo before they do? You have ten lives, so make ‘em count! Even those Spelunky traps are deadlier now...



[h2]New GFX Tech![/h2]

To make these levels possible, we built some intense new graphics tech! First up is dynamic water caustic reflection. Hi Fi meets Lo Fi!





And how about some fully dynamic cloth? Push it! Slash it! If it's hanging by a thread, our wind system will even rip it apart!
