Orchard rings, a furnace run and five more places to roll
This was a week of new ground. Level 2 stopped being a short hop: a long gauntlet of patrolling enemies, fire-spitters and geysers now turns it into a ten-minute level.

BallOrcs
Save the color. Build your orc.
The Realm is full of loud, bouncy, one-of-a-kind orcs, until the Hollow King arrives: a vast, perfectly smooth grey sphere that drains everyone's colour. Your orc is built in the barber's chair minutes before the wave hits, which makes it the only one the King can't catalogue. Reignite the Elemental Founts and bring the colour back. Several levels are already playable, with more on the way.
Platforms: Windows, Linux, Web, Android
