This week we've added a lot of new features such as traps, weapons, textures and other improvements!
New traps:
Players have been giving suggestions for new traps and we have been loving them. Today we've added 6 brand NEW traps! Smoke, Spike, Archer, Jumbler, Proximity and a secret trap. You'll need to play to find out what the secret trap does o_O

It's time to add another weapon. Introducing the Flame Thrower! This monster of a weapon will fire 100 pieces of fire before becoming empty. It burns and kills anything in it's path, so be careful and watch your fingers ;)

Backpacks:
Since so many weapons, ammo pieces and traps have been added, the lack of inventory space has been an issue. But now it's time to welcome the backpack! Once in the players inventory it unlocks the middle row allowing for all items to be placed within it. But if the backpack is dropped the items within that row will drop as well or will find another spot in the inventory to nest in.
Resourcepack:
We've updated our official resourcepack to support Miniguns and RPGs as well as Minigun ammo!
New RPG texture.
New Minigun texture.
