Version 0.0.3 is ready for release and we are busy pushing the packages to the various online distribution channels. This version includes a lot of changes but most importantly includes local multiplayer (via split screen) and an easier level.

We have listened to all the feedback received so far and we think we have addressed all the items without comprising on the game play. Currently only the Windows versions are ready, but we will upload the Linux and Mac versions through the course of the next few days.

Just check the version number on the main screen to ensure you are using v0.0.3. As usual, send your feedback to support@gobbogames.co.za
