See below for the changelist. However, if we stay silent for a while, it's because we want to keep ourselves completely focused on... *drumroll* exciting new add-on with lots of content! *drumroll again* releasing the game on consoles! *drumroll again again* new games maybe! We can't tell you yet exactly what new content and what consoles since that would spoil the surprise, but trust us with your patience and we will deliver!

It's a time for love and giving, so give them hell in the Newly inaugurated Infinity Tower. What goes on in there, anyway? Nobody knows! How tall is it? It's still mystery ... The real question is How high can YOU go? Quick points: - This is a one-way raid and there's no return. The only way is UP. - You're cutoff from supplies so enemy kills don't give Strategic Points. - Every five floors there should be a bunch of hostages to rescue. Higher up they become scarcer so spend those points wisely. - We've also revamped the lighting system and its much more natural now. - Door Kickers 2 is still in development. Let us know how you liked this little surprise, and whether we should add more stuff to it, or maybe we should instead concentrate on more zombie…
- Workshop and Modding Improvements - 22 November 2018
Yesterday's update adds a bit of "behind the scenes" changes to the game and allows you to create, upload or enjoy mods of all types, not just levels as we've had until now. For example, here's a mod that changes the in-game HUD character portraits: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1570225144 https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F30444167%2Fdd5c11c04ae072c58601108380123aa01db4e3a0.png And here's a little mod by sneaky Red Panda that just removes the star costs for all weapons and equipment in the game: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1570656046 And here's the beginning of something interesting - Mario meets Action Squad! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1571075007 You can do lots of cool stuff!

We're always dead serious (apart from small innocent April's Fools jokes). Our first game is used by the military to train, right? We don't do .... zombies. But Action Squad is our crazy child, and we can't really control what it does. So this week, it stumbled into the Nowhere City cemetery, and this happened: https://youtu.be/wrRM3nkVnpY So, what's in our treat bag this Halloween: - 4 zombie style enemies added. Or were they 5? 6? Be careful, reports are still garbled. - Weekly challenge #3 is your special Halloween Level, and its a tough one. - or you can go in "Zombie Invasion Mode" and enjoy the entire game, all levels, with extra zombie sauce. Beware, results are completely unpredictable. - Or you can just ignore the w…

You know the drill - get your pixelated Mp5s and workout those boots - Action Squad is now out of Early Access! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEo-J4eA9WU We’ve had a successful run of 10 months in Steam Early Access and more than 18k of you have already kicked doors with us, and we couldn’t have done it without you. For all you who supported us and put up with our development issues and bugs - Thank You! When launching the new version, the game will ask to reset your profile. Please, please please, listen to that advice and start from scratch again. The game changed a lot and its worth it to take it slowly again - and it also prevents unforeseen profile corruption and conflicts. Hundreds of you have already shown us how much you like the game - through emails, messages, forum posts, reviews or even the good old face to face nod at PAX and Gamescom.

- Door Kickers: Action Squad is like a two-player 2D Rainbow Six Siege - 29 May 2018
The original Door Kickers was a lovely little tactical puzzle game released in 2014. Door Kickers 2: Task Force North was announced two years later later and said to be coming in 2016, but it's still nowhere to be seen. However, developer KillHouse Games actually has another game out to scratch that door kicking itch. It's Door Kickers: Action Squad, and it's out now on Steam Early Access .  Where Door Kickers was all about carefully executing SWAT maneuvers and rescuing hostages, Door Kickers: Action Squad is a 2D side-scroller that feels more like Broforce. It's a cartoonishly high-octane game about shooting first, asking questions never, and maybe rescuing some hostages in the process. It could hardly be more different from the original game, but Action Squad is still a heck of a lot of fun.  I recently had the opportunity to play it for myself, and even…
