Hey all! Version 1.7.0 is out now!

We’ve added a bunch of new items, mostly gadgets, and made gadgets more powerful in general. We’ve also reworked the throwing system, so that throwing your melee weapon is now a much more effective strategy. In addition to this, there’s some other improvements, such as reduced gem costs for Hideout Renovations, some item balancing and new voices for players 2-4.
