Today's update's a big one. Issues have been fixed, crashes solved, and features added! So, without further ado, let's get right into the meat of things:
We teased it ; time to deliver! Today's update brings a brand new Zombot™ to the team! Time to recruit this new fren, and have them recruit two more, making it nine followers. Now just imagine how many that'll be once you play with three more players!
Are your Zombot™ scattered around the map? With just the press of a button, have them rally on your position in an (almost) instant. No more running around gathering them like a flock of lost puppies!
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
