Release History

HROT was released as a demo, then as Early Access.

# 0.8.0

Released 26 March 2023.

Added E3M1 "War with the Newts", inspired by Karel Čapek's novel with Wolf3D references and with a functional spinning top, which sounds great as always.

In addition new experimental features:

* You can deflect grenades with footkick
* A bottle of wine can be thrown as a Molotov instead of a grenade
* Zoom key, you can see how ugly it looks up close. But be careful if you already have Mouse3 button mapped to another function.

What next?
Full game will be released on 21May (in case of speedrun dev) or 22Jun (more likely). This will be further specified.
I wish you a nice Sunday!
