I fixed all remaining bugs (that I was aware of), added some new sounds and a new enemy. Oh, and I added achievements as well.

Thank you for your support, ideas and crash logs.
Have fun!

I just added the tournament mode. Grab some friends, enter your names, play the game one by one and see who's the best at shooting The Unspeakable Ones!

Crates!

I pushed a new build; you can find destructible crates on the play area now. They contain ammo or XP bonuses (that's another thing I added in this build) - so it's certainly worth to look around for them!

Build 0.6.2 - fields and fences

Howard Phillips Lovecar - thotep

At last! It took much more time than I planned, but the new build is available now. Most of my work was spent on making a world generator which does not allow for overlapping of any objects (houses, roads, fields) - it was surprisingly tricky to get this right with all the object shapes and rotations available. The good news is that I can add new objects much easier now, so expect to have a more varied game area in the upcoming builds!
