Keep bashing!

Johnny, all cozy lying on the sofa under a pile of warm sheets, staring at the fireplace in their living room, shuddered at the thought that Big Red Demon almost made a soup of him once. He can still taste the hellish vegetables thrown in the same huge boiling cauldron he was soaking in.

All of a sudden, he shouted, "Big Red Demon!! Where did that demon go? What if he's trying to make a meal out of the pets?! I must go back, there must be a hidden entrance to his realm!"



Second secret level was added to the Episode 2 - can you find secret entrance to the Big Red Demon's domain? Do you have what it takes to save all the pets from the Hell's Kitchen?

In addition to the secret level, the following changes were done:

• Steam Workshop Level & User Level browsers issues fixed
  
• Steam Workshop levels now show finished level and downloaded maps are colored differently
  
• Multiple Stun issues fixed
  
• Missing heart added to the end of E1L03
  
• Some art pieces were improved to match the overall style
  
• Fixed incorrect tile placements in some maps
  
• Level Editor improvements
  - Attribute browser & placement (explanation for each attribute added)
  - New zoom out level added for better overview of the map (TAB)
  - You can now scroll the map by holding middle mouse button
  - Various quality of life improvements

Have you heard about very special Mushrooms growing in the underworld? You may have found one and experienced something magnificent...

For those of you who did, you can now enable special effect from the game settings and play the whole game in that style. Next to that, you can also access Gore level setting to make your adventures even more messy (or less for that matter).



If you haven't found it yet, good luck! ːcc_candleː
