• Monsters have been added to the game. These are currently just a taste of what is about to come in our next big patch. In the current version, they will wander mindlessly, but soon they'll be ready to fight back in the coming Survival Mode!

It's high time we share a look at some of what's going on in the upcoming monster survival mode! :D



In this mode, each round features a set of evil portals that each spawn monsters specific to the biome. A portal contains a set number of monsters and defeating all of them collapses that portal, but not before spitting out a sinister shadow version of whichever player dealt the final blow. The round is over when all portals are destroyed and all enemies on the map are dispatched.

Currently, each biome has 2 unique monsters, have a look at those below (as well as a bunch of assorted GIFs of survival mode stuff)!















There's still work to do on this mode but we're well underway. Thanks for playing GCM2! :)
