When Jet caught her breath she was just outside of the burning hideout. Smoke was already filling the badly lit alleyway. Then it hit her; her trusty jetpack was still inside. Flames were spitting out of the doorway, it didn't look like she was able to go back in like this. She ran out to the street and saw the Shine City fire brigade setting up their gear. She pleaded to them to try and find the jetpack, to no avail. They sure weren't risking their lives for some 'toy'. Jet, not one to give up on a friend, smoothly zipped into one of their spare suits and jumped into the fire.

Join the PC beta to help us test just how broken these partly repaired gravity balls are!

To do so, open the game Properties... select the BETAS tab and chose public-beta from the drop down. More details about other changes will be shared in the discussion below and the public-beta channel on our discord server.




There is some brand new mech in our collections.

A Doombox tee on eightysixed as well as two undead long sleeved Jerseys, new masks and new hats on whatsneu.

We ran into an issue with pivots on the latest release and picked that opportunity to improve a few things!

• pivots are fully working again
  
• you can no longer pivot during a powerup sequence with no character movement
  
• the keys to cycle through outfits are now E & T
  (to avoid conflict with the default steam overlay shortcut)
  
• the maximum ranked score was lifted
  (as players are matched by division and score inflation has effectively been slowed down)
