Well hello!

Yes I know, we just released a version a short time ago. But we just HAD to include these changes:

• The New Quest System
  
  • Quests are now grouped by Army Rank
    
  • Enemy difficulty increases depending on the location
    
  • The quest that allows you to advance to the next Army Rank will be the
    most difficult quest in the series
    
  • The Quest Selection Screen has been updated to reflect the changes

We have been searching for a way to add a sense of progression to the game and we hope that this change will address this wish.

In order to access new areas on the map, players will have to defeat previous areas first. This won't be a hard rule, but will be dictated by the Enemy level in each area.

Once your Heroes get more powerful, you can bypass areas and go straight to wherever you like!

Once we have all of the backgrounds and enemies done, we will also be able to introduce enemies slowly into the game, so that not everything is available at once.

As always have fun playing and stay tuned for more updates!

Hey everyone!

Version 0.8 is now available for playing. Yahoo!!

I'm not sure why we are raising the version numbers so quickly as we still have a lot of stuff to stuff into the game... I guess the next versions will have to be numbered like 0.8.5, 0.8.6, etc. :-)

Here is a rundown of the changes that went into what we are calling version 0.8:

• Added the Sewer quest location
  
• Epic and Legendary Items and Symbol Recipes now have unique effects
  
• Added another layer to scrolling backgrounds. There are now tiles that go in front of the action
  
• Added new music that plays while you fight an Epic boss
  
• Added new music for select Challenges screen
  
• You can now choose between 4 Challenges on the Challenge select screen
  
• Fixed various screen scaling bugs

Have fun playing and as always let us know what you think!

Hello everyone,

Hope you've been having fun. Guess what? Version 0.6.0.0 is now live! Hooray!

Here is a list of all of the changes (that we can remember)

• Achievements!
  
  • There are now 180 Achievements in the game. See if you can win 'em all!
• Dialogues have been removed.
  
  • After many attempts at making some sort of Dialogue system that wasn't boring and repetitive we finally decided to just remove Dialogues entirely. Who needs 'em!
• Quests are now Missions for the Rodent Army.
  
  • You now perform Missions for the Rodent Army which progress to various areas of the map as you gain ranks in the Army.
    
  • Not all of the background artwork is complete so you can expect many more locations to appear in the coming months.
• Mouse's Fear now grants a very short but large move speed bonus and has a percentage change to send nearby enemies running away in Fear!
  
• Remove the yellow Help buttons and made the Options button smaller.
  
  • These buttons were taking up too much valuable UI real estate. An upcoming will instead have a digital manual available via the Mobile device.
• You can now carry a maximum of 32 Ancient Relics!
  
• Fixed some screen scaling issues.
  
• Fixed some Rodent face display issues.
  
• Replaced the Fanfares that play when you do certain things.
