This update brings the second part of the Apocalypse World! You can now fully enjoy (or hate because it's kinda hard) the Apocalypse World

• The Mountain Apocalypse
  
• The Submarine Base Apocalypse
  
• The Station Apocalypse

You now have 60 more stages to discover! Note that they are still no souls to collect in the apocalypse world, but you still have medals to earn!

If you enjoyed the bonus stages, you may be surprised with the 6th Apocalypse world..!



We added the Apocalypse World soundtrack to the game, we hope that you will like it! We also added for the Apocalypse World some new death sound effects.

• The super-fast-rising-lava-bug was fixed
  
• We introduced a critical bug with the last update, the final boss was not doable without checkpoints, it is fixed
  
• There was some color issues on the apocalypse menus, it is fixed aswell

We will release the game in 2 months and push the last content update, but this is not the end - yet!
We still have to complete the cutscenes and add some polish to the game - for example, a very big and obvious indication to press "X" to swap to the Apocalypse world.

Once the game is released on PC, we won't be far anyway, we'll still patch the game and fix what needs to be fixed, but we won't add additional content to the game: no plans for DLCs or sequel at the moment.


As usual, we are still eager to hear your feedback, do not hesitate to use the "feedback" panel in game or to join us on discord. Thank you very much for your support and feedback!

Talk to you soon!

Watch a mission 1 gameplay video using Cat A to learn the 3 main scoring methods. It shows how staying at a low power level, not using focus shots, and firing at close range allows attaining a score more than 3 times of that playing for survival. The score of 205,600 in this single mission alone is more than the majority of Trial Mode scores in the demo that encompass two missions! Cat A, in this case, is much more versatile than many believe it is capable of. In addition, mission 1 becomes an important start stage to get a much earlier first extend in Arcade Mode.



All of this can be replicated in the demo so give it a try! Do note that getting hit 3 times in Trial removes any focus bonus at mission end despite having infinite armor. It will also be more difficult to attempt such moves as the missions get harder, so an optimal combination of the scoring methods that takes into account safety will be needed.

Formulating a good leveling strategy based on personal skill that balances score and survival is the key to higher scores and far more important than fast reflexes!

Here's another regular update. The most noticeable addition is the possibility to play TEM2 within TE4 if you have bought both games.

There are also several tuning & fixes done from user reports.

I hope you'll enjoy it. :-)

And here's the complete changelog.

- World Tour : if you have bought TEM2, you can now play it inside TE4 and become a tennis coach
- Localization : Czech translation by MichalR70 and Korean translation by Land of the sky, thanks to them ! ːsteamhappyː
- Commentary : about 200 new commentary lines about specific cases on the serve

- Strike : the volley drop shop is now a bit less efficient (ie: the opponent has a bit more time to reach it)
- Strike : the drop shot is now a bit more efficient
- Strike : the slice requires a tiny less preparation time to be hit efficiently
- Service : the strong and normal services on the 2nd serve have now significantly less precision (to simulate the stress)

- Acceleration style : the Heavy Hitter handicap wasn't applied
- Service : the services that should have been fast could actually end up being quite slow
- World Tour : fixed a few issues when setting up a doubles tournament, especially with more than 1 human players

- I didn't test too much how was working TEM2 inside TE4, so if you notice any issues, please let me know :fear:
- If you play with the Mod XKT, you'll have to disable it (by setting the Default profile) to be able to see the TEM2 icon in the Main menu and activate it
