Dutch developer Vlambeer has released an updated version of their IGF award-nominated game Super Crate Box. Version 1.04 fixes an "error" which was causing points to be awarded for collecting the game's titular crates and not for killing enemies. Additionally, the Disc Gun has been rendered unable to harm the player after significant outcry against the weapon from fans.
Rami Ismail of Vlambeer has said that they are, "terribly ashamed." The team has temporarily suspended development on their turn-based RPG, Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, to focus on updating the WINNITRON-exclusive Super Crate Box Versus to fix its scoring discrepancy also.
You can download version 1.04 of Super Crate Box at the game's website now. View the full post and check out a screenshot of the updated version.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

My understanding is that most of the site is tucked away somewhere else.
All I've seen posted today is this article and the only device I can use all day is my iPhone. I think the two things are linked.

Enough of this shit. Restore the toilet edition please.
Yeah. The full site has been redirected to a joke but clearly the guys who redirected this "joke" site didn't check what would happen to the toilet edition.
There was mention of an actual site upgrade last night. Makes sense to me to do it on April 1st, when you can do something like that, and still have fun, with a re-direct.
If it really bugs people, you can go into your web-browser tools, cancel or change re-direct options. However, I really do believe we are getting some of those beta goodies added on here. April Fool's is just a good excuse to do it.
Also, there is an 800 number, prominently shown on the "joke" site. Try calling it. You might actually get to talk with Nick or dale.
This was funny. Was annoyed first thing this morning, before the coffee kicked in. Now, having a grand time.
PS.
Whoever did the art for Holme's Cage Vs, Bondi article, well done, and I laughed my Ass off.
Can we get the toilet edition back now?
