We were granted a Daily Deal feature on Steam right as we were reimagining the Mod Extractor. With so many changes, we rolled out two playtests to ensure the game was in a great state. We’ve also partnered with a fellow Shaper to make a 1:1 scale model of the Ion Blaster to say thank you for supporting us.

There’s still so much to do! The next few weeks are a mad dash, but with how things are going, we’re feeling confident.
