Hello all! Summer’s almost gone, but the living is still easy, fish are jumping, and the cotton is still high. Not so easy for us, though 😊 The team is full of energy and swarming with ideas! Here are some new very cool features we introduced over the past month: [h3]Characters' Vertical Strike / Shot[/h3] Two main goals here: [list] [*] To break through “weak” floors to enter secret areas [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//34001913/0bf788d3adf07658f58afebaef9af3dfb5f4024a.gif[/img] [*] To fly up straight, quite literally rise over the situation a.k.a. enemy forces, and come out victorious [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//34001913/a9863db60924d147f8af7fd0fbd2f692ac4354fe.gif[/img] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//34001913/a01138570f94772c78abd9a5388a0ac49f6508fc.gif[/img] [/list] [h3]Artifacts[/h3] There’s word on the street that strange objects are hidden all over the place in Ark’s secret stashes. Some say that these artifacts grand unbelievable power on their owners. Others insist that artifact cast a horrible curse on those who find them. But we have no way of knowing that for certain!

Add just a bit of gloss and futuristic elements, and Bob’s your uncle!

There’s no other place that will smash and grind you this effectively. We threw new effects, animations, backgrounds, and designs in all locations. Here’s a time-lapse that will show you how the Presses transformed over time.

This time they were lucky, but who knows, how many takes they did to record this video?
