- 4 player local arena mode: take said friend and kill them for fun (in the game of course).
- Rogue Lite: when you die (which you will do) you won't lose all of your progress.

The Linux version is live. It has been tested with Ubuntu 16.04, but it should be compatible with any version 12 and above (that is what Steam currently supports). If you have a Linux box check it out and let me know if it works.

DEV NOTE: I spent about 4 hours last night working on uploading the Linux version. It took me that long because I don't really know anything about Linux and I made some stupid mistakes. I pulled out an old laptop and installed Ubuntu 16.04. It seems to work well. I'll do some more testing of course but I the mean time I'll release it to ya'll for more testing.

We've released the next version of The Superfluous with a new arena mode. This is still in beta but I hope you enjoy what there is.
