We bring you good news! If you have followed the Deathtrap Co-Op Level Editor Contest, you might know that one of the rewards was to integrate the winning level into the game. It is now done.



"Armory" by Flikk is now officially part of the game, delivered to you by today's update.

If you haven't played this level, now would be the time, but it should be noted that it's recommended for higher level characters.

You will also have a chance to see how the winning level plays even if you don't own Deathtrap yet: there will be a streaming of a Co-Op session between Flikk and NeocoreGames on March 31, 8:00 PM CET (11:00 AM PDT) on Twitch!
