Lunch RushOur next major update will be 0.3, featuring three distinct new levels and plenty of meta-progression and content outside of each run. This will also be when we launch into Early Access proper, and we'll be releasing plenty of sneak peeks and unveiling future levels leading up to it!Upcoming LevelsAncient Archives, a twisting labyrinth guarded by bizarre magical traps and even stranger caretakers, who live to protect the vast libraries held within. Originally part of the Rat Race update, it has since been moved to Early Access due to the increased scope of each level.Cursed Cafeteria, the endless culinary complex that keeps the building fed, manned by hordes of hungry coworkers. In this kitchen nightmare, the food is just as likely to eat you!????, this mysterious level will be revealed leading up to Early Access (spooky)Meta ProgressionEarly Access will mark a shift in the gameplay, allowing you to even the playing field by purchasing upgrades in a new central hub area.
