Squirrelmageddon! News

[h2]Holiday Map[/h2]
The Winter Wonderland map is now live along with an Xmas mission for this holiday season.



[h2]Sonic Plasma Turrets[/h2]
New hybrid sonic plasma turrets are now ready for the field. Sonic waves propel a micro ball of super heated plasma. Auto recharges.

In single player you can pack up and carry them and deploy them at almost any location. A few bugs to work out, but Orbtech engineers have deemed them safe (enough) for use in the field.



[h2]UI Updates[/h2]
The mission select screen now has the intro lore available to read before selecting a mission zone. I will probably remove the lore from the opening sequence soon.



Updated mission review and accept menus



Added CREDITS button to the main menu with pop-up
