Gem Wars: Attack of the Jiblets is now available for FREE! So go on, download and enjoy!

We're not completely pulling support from the game either, so if you guys have any ideas or ways to improve the game, we'd still love to hear them. If there's enough response from you guys, we'll definitely come back and make some changes.

- Earn XP and Level Up: All modes will now reward players with XP. Earning XP allows you to raise your player level and unlock powerups for Survival Cooperative use.

- Powerups: Reach higher waves in SURVIVAL CO-OP by earning Powerups. Locally, you could purchase one before going into battle (this feature is currently unavailable online). Each player will also gain a single random powerup by defeating a member of the Descended (who appear in Wave 10 and every 5 waves after).

There are nine in total! Collect them all and try them out.

Halloween Content:
Cyborg Zombie Jibbots now roam SURVIVAL mode, while players can become infected with Jack-o-Lantern heads in INFECTION mode.

We have implemented rollback in order to reduce lag during your online experience while playing Gem Wars: Attack of the Jiblets. Let us know how it works out for you guys.

We've also adjusted player movement a bit, making it less floaty, as requested by a lot of our players. Let us know if it's better or worse or if it needs further adjustments.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to post here.

Sensing the Jiblets' turmoil, The Racch, a race of alien parasites have arrived to the Jiblets' homeworld to cause further chaos.

Play a brand new game type called Infection. Each round, one of four players (or AI-controlled players) will take a turn becoming The Infected. Once Infected, that player must pass on the infection to the other players before the time runs out and the round is over.

Also new to the game is Trophy mode. Trophies are dropped by fallen players. Picking the trophies up awards an additional point (think, Kill Confirmed).

Another classic mode has also been added, Domination. For those unfamiliar with it, all Hills are spawned on the map. Players will have to fight for these Hills to score any points.

Also included are new related challenges and achievements.

(The netplay updates are forthcoming.)
