    OVERDRIVE

    Dear Friends, We hope your weekend is going swimmingly, and as such have a new mechanic to share with you. Take back the competitive advantage over the ghosts with our new OVERDRIVE mechanic and reach even higher scores! The risk reward mechanic built into overdrive means that if you play dangerously, you can finally stick it to the ghosts and clear the playing field. We've also added a tutorial so that it's a little bit easier to learn the ropes. Sorry that the updates are taking a bit of time on our end, we are a small team with limited resources, and hope that you enjoy the new features none the less. And as usual, if you have any feedback, do let us know! With your opinions out in the wild, this early access game can still be shaped into something even better. Thank you for your support thus far. With kind regards, Planetary Gears

    Tutorial Bug

    Dear Steam Users, Apologies for the inconvenience, but a small bug in the tutorial has unfortunately made some people experience a game crash. As such we've rolled back to an earlier version of the game, which is inconvenient as this will negate the tutorial and a few other features we had added. We apologise for the inconvenience, and though we are a very small team and resource constrained, we will get the game updated as soon as we can. Please be patient, this is not what we had hoped to have happened. With thanks, Planetary Gears
