Hello! Introducing a new unlockable player with this update: The Redeemer, a fanatic competitor with a very particular mission. You can unlock him after collecting 1000 tokens.

The Redeemer has his personal story (as the other characters) with a unique intro, a final fight and a unique ending. Armed with the Spread Shot as primary weapon, his modified car has a secondary fire mode: a powerful flamethrower. You can activate it by keeping down the fire button. He also comes with a unique weapon to buy in the shop: The fireball.

Everything in contact with flames can trigger an "on fire" status. When something is on fire receives a constant damage for some seconds. The flames can not be blocked or deflected by shields.

I also made some adjustments to the difficulty levels and to the enemy AI. There is still much to do, but for the moment I hope you'll enjoy!
