So, I’ve been away the whole week, so I haven’t been able to do THAT much work on Roach Toaster 2.
The previous (testing) version was released (a few weeks ago) to test the new campaign following Guert’s Grind.

This month, someone typed in “Star Wars medichlorines” and apparently saw a link to my site and [...]
