Support for New Languages In-game texts have been localized for 3 new additional languages. French Spanish Korean Language option menu has been added!

Apology Update regarding the additional playable character has been postponed and will be available in a future update. We are sorry for keeping you waiting. Thank you for playing GIGA WRECKER!
