Summer Sickness is upon us! More levels! More defenders! More of those pesky cowonas!Happy to finally release Episode 2: Summer Sickness! I was debating on naming it "Summer Stupidity" as the events in the game take place in the Summer of 2020.. smh. I'm a little behind my anticipated schedule as it's been a rough year and it's just myself working on this in my free time. When the game was first developed, things were quite different, but I'm happy to report that we now have a vaccine!!!!!!!!
Future PlansI initially announced that I would be donating a percentage of proceeds for the year of 2020. As time moved forward it became painfully clear that the effects of COVID-19 will be much more long lasting than I had expected at the time; As such, I will be donating 25% of the proceeds indefinitely. Previously the donations were being sent to bapscharities.org COVID-19 relief fund, they do great charitable work around the globe with a current focus in India. Any future donations will be going to them and potentially other organizations who are distributing vaccines to those who currently need it most.
I really hope you enjoy this update as the content has more than doubled from the initial release! Get me to 1000 downloads and I'll make a PvP mode *wink
