Ever since the Penny Arcade/ Kotaku coverage this game has been selling really well everyday (its dieing down a bit now, but it's still selling at the very least $80,000 a day). I'm hoping that this Halloween update also brings in a bigger discount than the 50% alpha price

How cheap are you? You're going to get more life out of this than most $60 games, can you really not afford like $14?

Scarier enemies? :argh:

Also, on the torch issue, apparently anything that was a torch before the update will be converted to lanterns.
