Hey folks! This is easily the biggest update you've ever seen for Choice Chamber. We've gone ahead and added in every last outstanding thing that was dreamed up during the Kickstarter. New weapons, gizmos, enemies, bosses, power ups, polls, trolls, achievements, and more await you in the chambers.

We've also added a way for you to gain extra powers[choicechamber.com] from the chat room. If you subscribe[www.twitch.tv] to Bean's Twitch channel, you can use special commands in any channel playing the game. It's a great way to support the developer and get something in return, especially if you like playing along with other broadcasters. More info here[choicechamber.com].

A small update went out for Choice Chamber today, mostly in response to Twitch moving over their chat servers. They're slowly transitioning all channels, so the game now handles both the old and new connection methods. If your game suddenly stopped connecting in the past few weeks, it might work now!

Also, we added a "reset connections" button to the settings window for when your Chat Bot can't connect anymore, or your game is stuck trying to connect in general. This will erase your connection data so you can enter it in from scratch, hopefully fixing any weird loopholes.

We're working on a big content update for the nearish future, so thanks for your patience! ♥

Thanks for all the feedback for Race Mode beta! Below are a few changes and additions to help make online races a bit more possible. We're not sure why people were getting global banned on Twitch, as the game sends messages at a slow enough rate. We've made it even slower now, meaning your online opponent will update less often. Hopefully this helps out!

Changelog
- Added background to race title
- Reduced netcode speed to prevent global banning from Twitch (oops)
- Increased time it takes to be considered disconnected
- Added visual cue to power blocks
- Increased liklihood of power blocks appearing
- Increased amount of times special chunks appear

Hey everyone! Thanks for your patience between updates. We've been working hard on the new race mode, allowing you to compete against other players both locally and online! Race mode is now in the game, but is still in beta, so please be sure to leave feedback in the forums if you come across something that ain't quite right.

Changelog:
- Added Race Mode (currently in beta, FAQ here)
- Added 18 usernames for Backer Powers & Credits
- Fixed ability to get POGOORNOGO achievement
- Added ability to open Room Captain gifts in Warp Zone
- Changed Hoarfrosted enemies to only be frozen for 1 minute
- Fixed issue when being lifted while exit door cutscene plays
- Fixed particle waterfall when destroying Shop tube glass after buying something
- Fixed placement of flying loot in Grid Room
- Fixed Lucky being able to run off screen in final area
- Fixed solo AI for Great Gizmo to actually shoot at stuff
- Fixed unlocking things at Game Over screen if a Gizmo kills the boss
- Improved accuracy of Laser against environmental objects
- Changed power of Room Captain bomb
- Fixed Studio Bean logo sometimes playing out of sync
