More new waves! As with the v.154 update, bear in mind that some of these waves are quite hard, and they won't appear on easy difficulties. Also, as usual, the new additions will unavoidably shuffle the wave ordering of existing missions, so you might find that your stored favourites have significantly changed.

DLC is now available for purchase in-game! Chicken Invaders Episodes 2-3-4-5 are available right now, Episode 1 is coming in the next update.

Steam Achievements have been added. Upon first login, you will retroactively receive all achievements that you have already… achieved.

Also, the default letterbox option is now "automatic", which will stretch the image up to 20% horizontally, and will use black bars for anything beyond that. Sadly, due to this new setting, all your game options will be reset in this update.
