+CyberGate Playground is a multiplayer browser game where players claim territory
+by painting the environment in their color, with the goal of overpowering opponents.
+
+This month updates include:
+- Flying with butterfly-like mechanics;
+- [Fusion Upgrade:][cybergate-fuse] Combine hammers, balls, dices, to multiply their powers;
+- Hammer destruction made more challenging and interesting, with upgrades enabling deeper wall penetration;
+- Improved Strength and Weight system, and calculate their impact on character movement and abilities;
+- Added an 'Owned Upgrades' menu using `yakui` crate, giving a neat overview of all acquired upgrades;
+- Many other UI / gameplay improvements based on player feedback;
+
+Rust's ownership and strongly typed features played a crucial role in allowing the gameplay code to scale 
+to more complex and detailed mechanics while retaining correct, clean, and bug-free code.
+
+CyberGate Playground is a passion project.
