- Various Bug Fixes and Updates - 7 April 2018
A fairly small update: -You can no longer pause during fade out (to avoid confusion). -Enemies stop during fade out to avoid damage occuring after reaching the end of the room. -Fixed a big where the Time Limit was not loaded correctly from saved custom settings in Difficulty Settings -When playing 1-player, quitting the level from Game Over screen goes to level select rather than the splash screen. -Fixed a bug where Yellow would drop other players if holding them and jumping through a platform -Fixed a bug where time was not reset to 999 upon restarting a level, regardless of the time limit setting. Stay tuned! A new single-player level is in the works and will fit in after Level 3 (Yellow's single-player level)!

- 4 for the Money Moving Forward - 26 February 2018
Unfortunately, we did not succeed in reaching our Kickstarter goal, but we WILL be moving forward. Here is a bit about our plan moving forward. We will continue to update the demo for the next few months with bug and content patches. We have a large update coming out in the next few days that will be adding about an hour of single-player content, with an emphasis on making it easier for new players to adapt. We have received wonderful feedback on 4 for the Money through Steam and PAX South 2018. We recently pitched the idea to the popular video game website Destructoid. They liked the game well enough that we were the winners of a competition for a free premium booth at EGLX (Canada's largest video game convention), where we'll be March 9th through the 11th! We'd love to see any of you that are in the area. Of course, we'll have to continue to pursue funding. We've got several routes in…

- 12,000 Downloads! - 10 February 2018
Thanks to your wonderful support, the 4 for the Money Demo just hit 12,000 downloads! Thanks for playing and sharing 4 for the Money! We've been working on a big Valentine's Day update that will add a lot to the single-player aspect of 4 for the Money. The update will feature more story-driven gameplay to help players to get to know the characters personalities and skills. The main focus is on better pacing to help players getting into 4 for the Money. We're about halfway through a new set of levels that will give players a slower start with 1-on-1 time with each character. Each character will have a full level set dedicated to them. After playing a character for 20 minutes or so, players should be pretty familiar with the abilities and color compatibility of that character. Once each character is familiar, the game will begin focusing on the more intricate gameplay elements like charac…
