- The spiritual successor to Roombo, JUSTICE SUCKS is OUT NOW! - 9 September 2022
Robot vacuum action evolves in JUSTICE SUCKS, the spiritual successor to Roombo: First Blood! It's a brand new game that continues and expands upon the original concept. We were thrilled with how much you all loved Roombo and wanted to give you more, so we've partnered with tinyBuild to bring you this hot new digital entertainment experience. We took on feedback about the things you liked, the things that needed improvement, improved pretty much every aspect of the game and included a full story-mode with plenty of exciting locations to explore and munch up bad guys! While we were unable to use the name "Roombo" for the sequel, we hope you fall in love with our renamed robotic friend, Dusty McClean, in JUSTICE SUCKS!

- V1.3 Featuring Non-Tank Controls + Steam Trading Cards OUT NOW! - 2 August 2020
Hey everybody! We have some news to share! We’ve been keeping an eye on your feedback, and one of the major complaints we’ve noticed has been the tank controls. Whilst this was a core part of the design, it’s clear that many players do not have a good experience with this control scheme. New Control Scheme Option - Free Movement After some debate, we’ve decided to add non-tank controls as an option! This way, players will still be able to experience the original scheme if they would like, or change to an easier “free movement” control scheme. This WILL make the game less challenging, but we think those that use the new “free movement” scheme will still have a great time. You can select your movement style when you play the first level, or in the in the Options menu! The update also includes a host of performance optimisations to allow the game to run better across all machines! And Stea…
