| V1.8.0 Island's Revenge | 2025-11-21 | Betrayal Beach V1.8.0 Island's Revenge!Greetings Survivors!!It's been a while. A few weeks ago I was contacted by the youtuber JeromeACE with a video idea in which there would be no survivors but nobody would know it. So I worked on a secret option to play a match with all survivors! He made a video on it and it's a fun watch so check it out.My plan was to be done with updates for this game. However, since I had done the work for the video I figured hey, I might as well just polish it up into a real update for everyone to play. And then I did. It's not a huge update but it offers some fun new rules and I gave it a fancy name because why not.P |
