Version 1.14 patch notes!
Version 1.14 - Retuned movement once more, pulled back slightly from last version which was a little bit TOO restrictive i think, made it a tiny bit more slidey and overall a bit faster. - Boost strips more powerful - Poison now ticks much slower but does more damage per tick - Gems will spend less time floating around you and magnetize to you better after a few seconds.Read full article on Community Announcements (keithburgungames)AnnouncementsOfficial
Version 1.13 - The least "slidey" version yet!
Thanks for your feedback everyone - it was pretty clear the more feedback we got that people thought the game was too "slidey" with how the character moves. So now we've made it way more responsive - it's like at least 50% closer to the style of movement you'd find in Vampire Survivors now, but it still maintains the physics (especially for monsters, who are untouched in this way). Let me know what you think of it! Version 1.13 - Reworked movement significantly. You should feel much more in control of your character now. With that comes a boost to boots (5=>12) - Robo Champ gets 20 damage per level down from 25 - It should be impossible now to instantly close the shop upon opening it (which happened in my sister's stream a few times) - May's Phoenix icon was hidden before by the larger health bar. Now it's back, which is nice - Phoenix Icon now darkens, instead of hiding when Phoenix is already used. A bit more clear. - Bug with level 5 upgrade feedback fixed - Stake damage modifier 1.5 => 2Read full article on Community Announcements (Keith)Patch NotesOfficial
Version 1.12 Patch Notes!
