This update has two sides:

• It makes the game better like any other update would
• It enables Android platforms

You can find a detailed changes list at the bottom of this post.

The biggest one is probably a new mode called Blitz. As the name suggests, it’s a faster-paced mode. This mode is also competitive, you can send your high scores to claim the best spots on the currently vacant leaderboard.

As you might already know, we have a cross-platform online leaderboard. Steam and itchio were the only “clans” available so far. This is not the case anymore as Android enters that fray. Let’s see whether Steam could hold its current leaderboard dominance.

If you want to play Roboden on your Android device, you probably know where to look it up. :)
