Hello everyone! In version 0.7, Junk Attack is finally being properly introduced to the public! You no longer have to switch to the beta branch to play it, and there is plenty of in-game information to guide you through how the mode works! In celebration of this milestone, Polymino is on sale for 75% off, so make sure you encourage your friends to check it out so you can test your mettle against each other in Junk Attack ;-) In other news, there will be another chance to get your name in Polymino's credits in the coming days -- another Junk Attack playtesting session in the Discord Server! In a couple days, I will make an announcement there with more information, and there will be a poll to determine what date will work for the most people. I hope to see you there! Now for the specifics of what v0.7 is bringing to Polymino:

• Junk Attack is enabled in all builds. Currently, the default and beta branches on Steam are identical.
• Added some advanced documentation about Classic mode in the Help menu
• Added an introduction to Junk Attack in the Help menu
• Added several help buttons throughout Junk Attack's menus to guide you through setting up the game
• Added menus which give detailed information about each loadout, and all of their abilities
• The menus for changing Junk Attack's settings, and choosing loadouts if they are enabled, have been redesigned
• Moved less-polished loadouts into a separate category which can be enabled in Options > Game by toggling "Beta loadouts"
• Disabled some unneccessary messages which were being printed in the game's log files
• Modified the loadouts based on playtesting feedback
• Added "Projectiles" junk effect: as each block of the junk piece shatters, it launches a projectile in a random direction
• Added "Countdown Junk" ability: large, bomb-proof junk with a timer. Hitting it with projectiles will transfer it to a random opponent instead of destroying it. When its timer reaches zero, it can apply any combination of junk effects to itself (fragmentation into tiny junk being the most likely candidate)
• Junk will continue to shatter during the "GAME OVER" sequence
• Renamed the "Attack Meter" to the "Ability Meter"
• Added logic to handle players (dis)connecting after advancing past the lobby menu but before starting the game
• Improved legibility of the in-game log viewer
• Optimized rendering code
• Added a "Countdown junk" ability, and a "Hot Potato" beta loadout featuring it
• Increased the resolution of the "Chemical" junk theme textures
• Improved the "Stars" background theme
