Besides selecting items to have in your inventory when starting a Custom Game run, you can now also tweak the flood time (including turning it off), infinite credits and also turning on random level modifiers.

- Demo available again for IndieCade + We are streaming Live! - 7 November 2022

If you miss it, we are also doing rebroadcasts for the rest of the event.
- Patch notes for v1.0.21.11 - 3 November 2022
We have been listening and we noticed that some of you were getting frustrating on two things 1) Stomping on enemies sometimes would get you hurt (especially if you jumped on the enemy from the side) 2) Aiming a throw when an enemy is close by is difficult to master. So we fixed the stomping - it should be much more forgiving now. And we added Auto-aiming in the Tourist (Easy mode), where when an enemy is close by, the thrown object/partner is aimed at the enemy. Don't worry, you can still turn it off from Settings->Controls if you prefer timing your throws. Full Release Notes Added - Added auto-aim when throwing against an enemy in easy mode. Can be turned off from Settings -> Controls Modified - Tweaked a bit how a player can kill an enemy by jumping on him. Previously it was too harsh. Now it's more forgiving. - When a partner is sliding on the floor, it should still kill the enemy e…

Modified - Tweaked time to drop something from inventory - Arrow packs and banana packs now need to picked up since it was annoying players to auto-pick up Fixed - Fixes related to crashes when doing an explosive on top of a cage.
