Skills QOL
Based on seeing some players stream the game, some small updates w.r.t. the skill trees were made: * change tooltips to show which level skills unlock * show icon when skills are locked or inaccessible (due to dependent skill not chosen, or player took another skill path) * some effects when skills unlock * added a header while making a new game, 'customize squad' to be clearer what the panel is for. Currently work is done on expanding the amount of hero classes to choose from. Happy matching!Read full article on Community Announcements (Mr. Barrel)Patch NotesOfficial
I choose you!
This update's main features are difficulty settings and a flexible squad composition. Now you can choose who to send into the fray! Added a step before starting new game to customize your squad a bit; this means you can now choose your avatar, color, hero class and change the hero name. Added a difficulty setting; you now have three choices: easy, normal, hard (rough). Easy will have 1 color less on the board, whereas hard will give you additional zombies to deal with. Tweaked BGM logic a bit, sometimes it wouldn't select the next audio clip Added Chinese (simplified) translationsRead full article on Community Announcements (Mr. Barrel)Patch NotesOfficial

Get it while it's hot!
Hi Gamers, proud to announce that we're live in Steam Early Access! You can already start to have fun, figure out some strong build and kill loads of zombies while we'll be working on more content :) We still have plenty to come for Match Kill Survive. Currently work is being done on support for some more languages, and giving you, the player, more control over your squad size and composition. As always, if you have any fun ideas, run into issues or want to help with translations, feel free to join our Discord and let yourself be heard. glhf, Mr. BarrelRead full article on Community Announcements (Mr. Barrel)Patch NotesOfficial
Update 0.9.1c
That was some interesting work, to make the entire game compatible with multiple languages! If your language is not represented in the game, but you'd like to - give us a shout on our discord, all translation help is welcome :) * Made all text components compatible for multiple languages * Already had English, but now added Brazilian-Portuguese, Thai and Dutch * Simplified Chinese WIP * added a credits screen, accessible through main menu. Now the proper parties can recieve kudos :) * QOL: changed colors of buttons w.r.t. selection and default around, making the colors more intuitive when used for tabs (think high scores etc). * FIX: in post-battle, the popup menu's 'save & back to menu' didn't work properly.Read full article on Community Announcements (Mr. Barrel)
