UPDATE #32 - 50% off, 1 year on Early Access special
"Surely you can't be serious." - "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley." Airplane is a movie we're not referencing, but have a lot in common with. We've had a whole year up in the air, steering this monster and hoping it doesn't crash.
365 days on Early Access.
A whole year of wonderful development, dev diaries, almost consistent weekly updates, and you lovely lot there every time, chatting in the forums, making us smile... it means so much. It's been incredible so far and we can't wait to push tango over the finish line.
What that means for us is ramping up how much we share, and fixing more every week until it's ready for launch!
We did our first proper live streamed dev diary today, with three of the team on video while we chatted, showed off the latest build, and answered your questions! the video' on our channel right here:
1 Year Early Access Birthday Special (please do follow us!)
We'll of course archive it on YouTube if you prefer that, and our channle can be found over here:
boom right here (why not subscribe to this too, eh?)
We thought we'd celebrate with a 50% off sale for the day, so please do tell your friends - and meanwhile we've been busy as heck fixing the game up properly. there are some really big changes and fixes in today's update - live for both PC and Mac right now - but my favourites have to be the reworked weapons. Mr Frosty and The Shocker are now more fun to use, and far less annoying to be hit by - I'll let you find out the details by playing!
Anyway, to the changelist!

I’m so pleased we managed to fix that horrid crash bug too - thanks so much to everyone who helped us track it down. Feels good to see the back of it!
It only remains for us to ask you to consider leaving us a nice ‘thumbs up’ review if you like the game, every single positive review counts hugely and we’re so close to getting our rating up to 4 stars!
Until next time!
