Hey guys, I hope you will forgive us for a few missed IKWYDLW posts! We have been extremely busy fixing and fiddling with the Zero Gear Beta to try and get a new build out once a week. So far we have been able to make a lot of fixes and slight changes from feedback to the game thanks to over 50,000 people that have signed up for the beta! We are getting closer to a release version of Zero Gear with every new beta build.

One of the things that will be in the next build is a new target mode pachinko map, I have taken a short clip to showcase it:

Stay tuned for more breaking Zero Gear news!

Another week, another fresh build of Zero Gear on steam to play with! If you haven’t checked out our beta yet - you can grab a key here and start playing! Also, help show your support by joining our steam group!
