The 1.1 update for DUSTPOCALYPSE is out now! As soon as we finished the original jam version a week and a half ago,  we started work on this new update for the game to fix bugs and add a little more content that we couldn't fit in before the jam deadline! So while this update is somewhat small in terms of what it adds, it should make the game much better overall!
