- Customise your ally's name, skills and upgrades.
- Chainsaws, bombs, wizards and wandering apothecaries.

This version has had a lot of tweaking and general gameplay improvements.

Major new features.
- Random name generator (with hilarious effects)
- Ranged weapon inventory slot
- New items: Shrine, Chest
- Intercepts and Hand Off action
- Most powerups and items last longer.

Forgot to mention that you can still use your player.dat file from the previous version to retain previous unlocked content.
Also the highscore.dat should be compatible and also your ghost.dat file (if you want).
