The festivities continue, and we’ll now celebrate Christmas! This update will have the following new elements:
· A special item, the Gift. It can appear in many different color patterns and Humans and Characters love them! They also upgrade your Gift Tree and can be used as a decoration.
· Santa himself as a controllable character! He can double jump like Arnold, defeats his foes by jumping on them and can take out Gifts from his magical bag and drop them.
· The Gift Tree, an upgradable tree with many states of decay and development. If it gets damaged it will wither and die, but if you give Gifts to it, it will heal back and develop!
· Xmas Elf, a small humanoid that searches for Gifts and brings them to the Gift Tree. Other than that, they are friendly little fellows that jump enthusiastically to express their happiness!
· The Grouch, a hateful creature that dresses as Santa but drops bad Gifts that explode on touch. They don’t explode when grabbed by Xmas Elves, however, and will damage the tree on destination. A sneaky foe with no friends!
· 4 new decorative elements to make your Christmas-themed levels: Happy Snowman, Candy Cane, Snow Globe, and a Decorated House.

With this update, we’ll enhance the value of all levels that take place in the sea and any underwater environment. With the Atlantean, a humanoid that excels at swimming, the Submarine, a powerful vehicle that shoots a new type of projectile that travels through water, and a couple of new sea animals with specific behaviors, the underwater levels are sure to be more exciting than they were ever before!
• 2 new controllable elements and their enemy versions:
• Atlantean, a humanoid with fishlike features that can breathe underwater but suffocates when outside of it. It can dash forward when swimming, and jumps instead when it’s not. It also has a ranged attack.
• Submarine, a vehicle that can only move in water and can shoot Torpedoes to defeat its enemies or obstacles. Torpedoes are projectiles that can only move in liquids but doesn’t destroy the liquid elements when they explode.
• 4 new sea animals to populate your aquatic levels or even serve as enemies in them:
• Shark, a fearsome predator of the sea, moves from one side to the other in search of prey.
• Jellyfish look cute and glow in many colors but are extremely poisonous and should never be approached.
• Anemones will attract and suck small fish towards them but are mostly harmless. Unless the Mutagem has been used on them…

• 1 new tech element:
• Torpedo Launcher, which is fired and used the same way the Rocket Launcher is. Torpedoes are rockets can only travel through Water. If they are spawned elsewhere, they will simply fall downwards and explode when they make contact with the floor.
• A campaign of X levels where you will follow Jones in his search for the Lost City of Atlantis. He will, however, spend most of the adventure in the Submarine and find an unexpected friend on the way: the Atlantean Prince. Fight your way through underwater caves, mysterious temples, and even the mouth of a giant beast.
