Project Downfall 0.9 15.3 Halloween Special is now live!

The Halloween special Build 0.9.15.3 is now live on Steam. Biggest new features include timed exclusive content, a new level, weapon and the usual fixes and tweaks. More detail on that further below.

The Halloween special level "Deat Heat" can be unlocked for the next 12 days (till 10.XI.2020). Once unlocked, you will continue to have access to it after that date. But you need to find it first;) Once you do, you will be able to play it from the Mamebox console at the apartment



Next update with be the offcial 14th update and should be ready around mid November, focusing mainly on updating the awarenesss system (especially visibility on the sides) and further refinement and polish to existing content.

In the meantime, a small update might be going live in a few days to address a layer order issue with one of the new enemies and name of the Magnum.



Now on to the fun stuff!

Edit 03-11-2020: Flash update 0.9.15.3A added. Cahnges will be highlighted in bold below

[h3]0.9.15.3 inlcludes:[/h3]

- Halloween special theme at the apartment

-Halloween exclusive level: Dead Beat. Take on the living dead in this prototype arena/wave style level. Available also for the Demo version but with limited content (no Magnum, smaller level, ends on wave 2)

The living dead in this map pose quite the threat: much tougher than regular enemies, you will need to blast through 3 layers before you get to the vital parts. That, or find a weapon with explosive damage:) Another bonus is that these dudes will have stunted and longer reatiion/aiming times-after all being braindead has to have its cons, right? ;)

-New weapon: the Magnum (official name pending). Time to go Dirty Harry! Only available in Dead Heat

-New enemies featuring robust destruction, the Livind Dead! Blast through 3 layers to get to the vital parts!
