Well now!

After ShogunAsh just completely wrecked our leaderboards.... well we thought some balance changes were in order. Plus you know, some things just weren't as fun as we'd hoped, and... yeah we kinda lost a bet with ShogunAsh and we had to make a new gun for the game.

It's called - what else - the ShoGun, and we even recorded new Arnie VO for it! Here it is in glorious action:



ShogunAsh's fave guns are burst fire, so we had to make it another one of those. It's most useful against big crowds, so the later you get it, the more useful it will be.

It's exclusive to Fascism Fighters 4000, and has a rare chance to be in any Weapon Crate. In fact, the chance increases the more times you don't pick it up, so live long enough and you'll see it!

And yup, we've re-balanced the game to make sure it's a lot harder to reach the tipping point that meant you could basically roll over enemies with a combo of a large squad and plentiful Health Pack drops... we think we've hit a good balance now, and even in the late game you have to stay on your toes, avoid as much damage as possible, and prioritise enemies that drop Health Packs.

[h2]Full changelist: [/h2]

• New weapon -the ShoGun. Burst fire. Added to pool of weapons, rare chance to start with, increases every time you pick up any other weapon. Chance resets once you get it. Brand new Arnie VO on pickup.
  
  
• Super Health Kit added. Rare chance to drop, if you're under 40% of your Health. Restores a ton of HP, makes things exciting when it appears!
  
  
• Fixed a bug that meant you couldn't aim when reloading, or with an empty gun.
  
  
• Reduced the Burner's capacity to 2 clips.
  
  
• Reduced the HP restored by each normal Health Kit.
  
  
• Capped the number of Health Kits that can be spawned, with 3 at any one time. This helps stop the steamrolling.
  
  
• Combo Multiplier capped at 30, to keep the leaderboards healthy and competitive.
  
  
• Rocket Launcher reload time reduced to 2.5 seconds. Now not quite the disappointment it used to be early in the game, where keeping your combo going with it was incredibly challenging.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that saw Champion enemies dropping more than one Weapon Crate.
  
  
• Champions don't always drop a Health Kit now.
  
  
• Reset the leaderboards (don't worry we archived the old ones!)
  

And that's that! Enjoy, and see you on the leaderboards, and tell us what you think on our discord!

When we launched Fascism Fighters 4000 we promised we'd pass all the proceeds - by topping up from sales of the base game where necessary to counter tax and Valve's store cut - to charities fighting racial inequality, and supporting Black Lives Matter causes.

Well, we thought today would be a good day to do it for the first time!



We're incredibly happy to donate $100 split equally to two charities - and endlessly thankful to you lovely lot for making it possible.



$50 has been donated to the Stephen Lawrence Trust:



...and another $50 has been donated to The Advancement Project, but we're waiting on them sending the receipt 😅

We couldn't have done this without you!

but that's not where it ends. We've got a patch incoming for the game, which includes a bunch of balance changes, and a BRAND NEW GUN named after the wonderful British streamer by the name of ShogunAsh, who utterly smashed our leaderboards. Mad respect to him, and now he's immortalised as part of the game.

Keep an eye out for that dropping soon, and in the meantime the 35 of you who have wishlisted it could help to make the next donation EVEN BIGGER! Let's gooooo!

HELLO!

As the headline of this alludes to, there’s new DLC for Tango Fiesta OUT NOW right here on Steam! It’s called Fascism Fighters 4000 and frankly you’re going to love it.

You play as Macmillan, Conchita or Dr Henk, the badass heroes of colour whose main mission is to fight fascists sent from the future in the name of equality and freedom for all. We’ve filled our studio gaps with Black creators to help us make this DLC a reality, which brings us on to our next point.

When you buy this DLC (which you’re absolutely going to, right?), all the profits will be donated to BLM charities around the world, and what’s even better is we’ll top up the donation ourselves from sales of the main game from this date onwards so that 100% of the DLC cost is donated. We at Spilt Milk believe that equality (by definition) should be equal for all, but unfortunately, we live in a world where that still isn’t the case.

SO tl;dr:
New DLC
Available RIGHT NOW
All profits to charity

No reason not to get involved!

Here's the lowdown on the DLC! We've worked hard to make a brand new highscore-chasing mode with a ton of cool features.

[h2]DLC FEATURES[/h2]

Play as Macmillan, Conchita or Dr Henk, the badass heroes of colour on a mission to fight fascists sent from an ‘alternate future’ in the name of equality and freedom for all!




Smash your fascist foes into the ground for points and to add more revolutionaries - and more firepower - to your squad! Squadmates will move and shoot alongside you, have infinite ammo, but aren’t directly controlled, and are definitely not invincible.




Compete on the worldwide leaderboards to be crowned the best of all the Fascism Fighters. And we’re pretty sure there’s more than 4000 of you! Work the Scoring and Combo systems to get stupidly big numbers - the revolutionaries you add to your squad can help maintain your combo, as well as increase your combo cap!.




The rest of the juicy changelog:

• A special achievement to commemorate your purchase, and the subsequent donation.
  
• Play as Macmillan, Conchita, or Dr Henk
  
• Endless waves of fascists to fight, adding new and more difficult enemies over time.
  
• Avoid dangerous pools of toxic green goo. You know, toxic like the beliefs of fascists.
  
• Health packs only restore around 10% of your max HP.
  
• Weapon Boxes autoswap you to a new weapon! There’s no way to get ammo.
  
• The Arnie-esque shopkeeper narrates your weapon swaps for Maximum 1980s Action Movie vibes
  
• The weapons you have access to are limited to the Arius A1, Oozy 9mm, 12 Gauge, Manuel, Mac & Cheese, Hong Kong 83, Hong Kong 84, Oozy 8mm, Steel Auger, Matrix 80, Rocket Launcher, Burner, and the Muzzletight Puppy.
  
• Weapons in Boxes are independent of your unlocks in other modes to keep things exciting.
  
• Weapon Boxes also give you 1 grenade back, so use them wisely.
  
• Your current score, your best score, and the next you have to beat displayed on the HUD at all times
  
• Revolutionaries in your squad take damage and can die and be removed. But you can always get them back again! Keep fighting!
  
• The credits track has always been our favourite, so now you can enjoy it as it rocks in the background of the DLC.
  

[h3]Tango Fiesta Update:[/h3]

To really make the most of the opportunity, we’ve of course fixed a bunch of bugs and tweaked a load of stuff in Tango Fiesta too. Here are the highlights:

• Added the DLC of course!

• We’ve added a nice “TANGO FIESTA” voiceover on the main menu
  
• Dr Frosty shots now have a lovely frosty trail (always been there, just not visible!)
  
• Grenades used to bug out and not throw in the direction you chose. No longer! You can still drop them at your feet by throwing them without a directional or movement input.
  
• If an enemy is hit with a ‘shock’ effect they will hold their trigger and shoot wildly.
  
• Player and enemies now take damage on a ticker when touching toxic waste (instead of only when they moved)
  
• Edge tiles of toxic waste now damage players and enemies.
  
• Blood now fades out

• Pad navigation of menus is more reliable
  
• Credits updated with Patreons!
  
• Credits updated with Steve Hatchard!
  
• Credits updated with FF4K details
  
• Removed Mel Gibson from credits
  
• Melee knife bad guys would run backwards sometimes
  
• Addressed some positional audio bugs
  
• Fixed some rooms in Ghoul Squad levels that had no movement collision.
  
• Fixed an Objective Room or two in Ghoul Squad that had no movement collision, and no weapon collision either.
  
• Fixed a Ghoul Squad a level generation issue that would result in a level with no objectives being made
  

That’s it! We hope you enjoy and please reach out to us if you’re enjoying it!

Thanks,
Spilt Milk Studios
