  Patch Notes — v1.0.0

  New ContentSongemaSongema — it came to me in a dream: Baseball bat that is imbued with different elemental effects and swaps between them with every swing, can apply these effects to baseballs it can summon and then hit at enemies. Its stats now scale off both weapon stats and your melee stats Swing rate now speeds up with fire rate — the higher your fire rate, the faster the bat swings. Saklas (Boss)All-new spawn cinematic with accompanying SFX and an environment shift. Added a proper death sequence — a shattering sound and a rising hymn to announce your victory.

Fixed arms getting stuck in midair and leaving behind lingering "ghost" arms.Fixed his projectile pattern (it previously formed an unfortunate shape). General polish pass on his overall behavior. Enemies & BossesBoss rush overhaul: Bosses no longer all spawn at the exact same moment. They now arrive in escalating clusters — each new cluster only appears once the previous one is fully defeated. Pneumaturge behavior reworked — previously it was predictable and boring.Flying rodents are no longer drunk buggy half baked nightmares. Trove: Improved its run-away behavior so it no longer wedges itself into corners and gets stuck, along with a broader BackAway improvement for fleeing enemies.Tulpa homing toned down for normal spawns — when it appears as a regular enemy its projectile homing is less aggressive, while its first boss appearance keeps the stronger homing.Improved enemy pathing so they no longer walk or jump into large pits, and flying enemies no longer dive into pits and die.Friendly damage buff: All friendlies now deal 75% more damage on top of their existing scaling, so a friendly rodent hits 75% harder than an enemy one — fixing cases where friendlies did almost no damage.

  Patch Notes — v0.8.7

Your highest wave is automatically saved to the leader board Game-playOn the advice of a play tester the 1911 alt fire is now continuous automatic fire sustainable for as long as the player has resonance EnemiesFixed enemies bobbing up and down while climbing ramps.Enemies that get stuck — unable to reach the player for over 5 seconds while off-screen — are now quietly re spawned so they rejoin the fight instead of standing around. Companions & SecretsThere's now a 1 in 100 chance for a Nightcrawler to show up holding that blicky with a switch.

  PerformanceFixed frame stuttering that occurred the first time the Energy Bolt ability was used.AudioFixed a bug where casting Lightning and Heal at the same time would silence all game audio for the rest of the run (sound only returned after unpausing).EnemiesPupa: Reduced excessive damage resistance after transformation.Tulpa: Ranged attacks now angle upward to hit the player when they're above the Tulpa or up a ramp (previously fired horizontally into walls).Tulpa: Reflected projectiles no longer home toward enemies — homing has been removed from reflected projectiles entirely.Abilities & WeaponsEggun alt-fire is now much more obvious — added multiple firing SFX matched to each projectile, plus strong recoil when the weapon fires.UI & Quality of LifeThe ability keybind display in the info UI is now much more obvious.The "skip to next wave" keybind is now much more obvious.You can now shift-click to move items from your inventory directly into an equip slot.Moved Tutorial above Easy in the difficulty list (previously at the bottom).SettingsFixed the V-Sync setting not persisting when turned off.Visual EffectsFixed the underwater effect appearing where it shouldn't — on old saves in the first level, and on the main menu.
