Content Update 1.1
Big content update! Bad news first Since I added new stuff into the save file, if the game acts weird related to characters unlocking, active items, gold or normal maps not loading, you need to delete the save. I will never add anything to the save file again so this won't happen again. You can find the file in C:\Users\"YourPCName"\AppData\Local\SurvivorsRoguelike Just delete the whole folder. New Content: Quick summary: - 2 new game modes, Defend the Church and Run escape. - Added active items you can buy pre match. - 5 new characters and 5 new abilities. - New stats. - Leaderboards for the new games modes. - Character can now dodge roll. - Better meta progression. - Maps, dungeon and mushroom cave are bigger. - You can now toggle mouse cursor visibility and aim abilities and active items. - Change cursor size and style. - Revive Players. - Host can toggle pause game.

Wave index will be go to the leaderboard. Run escape This game mode is inspired by endless runner. There will be massive ice wall chasing you and it's speed will increase slowly. Player gains +50 movement speed per turbo. Bunch of diffrent obsticles, traps, turbos and mobs blocking the way. The goal is to travel as far as possible and the distance will go the leaderboard. Active items Added basic items like health potions, stamina potions and random stuff like teleport. You have 5 slots and you can drag and move the items in them. You can find the shop in lobbies. Added the following stats - Stamina - Critical damage - Critical chance - Armor Characters & Abilities - Goblin with goblin boomerang. Boomerang specializes in high damage, poison explosions and stealing gold. - Knight with blizzard. This combo does not make sense but wanted to add both. Blizzard is just an aoe skill that has good combo possibilities with frostnova. - Pirate with Boun...Read full article on Community Announcements (herbeni)
