- Rollback netcode is in! - 16 June 2016

We've also adjusted player movement a bit, making it less floaty, as requested by a lot of our players. Let us know if it's better or worse or if it needs further adjustments.

- Infection is here! (Update) - 20 April 2016
Sensing the Jiblets' turmoil, The Racch, a race of alien parasites have arrived to the Jiblets' homeworld to cause further chaos. Play a brand new game type called Infection. Each round, one of four players (or AI-controlled players) will take a turn becoming The Infected. Once Infected, that player must pass on the infection to the other players before the time runs out and the round is over. Also new to the game is Trophy mode. Trophies are dropped by fallen players. Picking the trophies up awards an additional point (think, Kill Confirmed). Another classic mode has also been added, Domination. For those unfamiliar with it, all Hills are spawned on the map. Players will have to fight for these Hills to score any points. Also included are new related challenges and achievements. (The netplay updates are forthcoming.)
