Build 39 released

Biggest release so far!

• Maps are completely new.
• Game rules are completely new. The game now ends as victory for one of the teams.
• New buildable offensive weapon – CATAPULT
• Lots of new graphics and bug fixes.

Please read the change log below for a detailed list of the changes.

To use the catapult you will first need to build it. It needs 12 blocks built in a 4×3 rectangle. Then you need to supply it with rocks ([E] key). Hold [E] key and then release to FIRE!! The longer you hold the farther it throws.
Use with caution!

Here’s how the new maps look like. This is of course a random example.
