RETOOLED News

Hello everyone! Small hotfix patch.

- Fixed the equipment progression that got broken by the previous patch.
- HUD changes to improve readability.

I'm extremely sorry about the progression being broken, and want to apologize for any inconvenience. Know that I have now changed up my patching process to avoid something like this to happen again.

I wish you all a great weekend,

2023 Steam awards are now so why not cast your vote on any of the smaller titles releasing this year? I would greatly appreciate any votes for RETOOLED :).

Development is continuing to progress well over here in Gothenburg, Sweden on the next big patch, 1.1 untitled so far.
