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 [b]brand new Zombot™[/b] to the team! Time to recruit this new [i]fren[/i], 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!
[i]One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more[/i]
