Hi everyone,

Here is one more surprise round of balance adjustments since we found some more things we would like to address!

For those of you who don’t own Backpack Battles yet: It is currently on sale for 10% off!

This is your best chance to get it because the upcoming price increase from $12.99 to $14.99 on May 3rd.

We wanted to increase the price in tandem with the 1.0 release, but because of Steam’s rules, we have to do this well in advance.

That being said, there will be news regarding the 1.0 very soon. 😉

P.S: Yes, achievements are coming with the full release. 🙂
