V0.9.1 - Small Bugfixes


  • Fixed Holy Arts having the incorrect description.
  • Fixed Eye of the Storm having no description.
  • Dodge should now be properly capped to a max of 70% chance (Will add a description for this in the future).

V0.9.0 - New Character Dasher + Summoning Rework

New Character: Dasher!



Transform into a deer and stomp through hordes of enemies!



Summoning Rework



New summoning perks have been added and old summoning perks have been changed to hopefully provide greater build flexibility.

Ghost Friend


Ghost Friend now attacks much faster and can trigger on-hit effects, making it valuable companion for burn/freeze/lightning builds (yes I know it was bugged for a few patches and triggered on-hit effects anyways, but the bug is now a feature!).



Magic Scythe


Magic Daggers are removed and now the upgrade tree is focused on powering up the Magic Scythe! Its damage increases based on your bullet damage and move speed.



(New) Magic Spear


Stab through monsters with a set of magic spear summons! These deal more damage based on your max HP, and are a good fit for tankier builds.



(New) Trainer + Frenzy


The Trainer and Frenzy upgrades trees focuses on summon damage and summon attack speed respectively. These upgrades perks are great for builds that focus on having summons do most of the damage.

Other Changes



Character/Gun Menu Rework


With the increasing amount of characters and guns added to the game, the character and gun selection menu was getting a little overcrowded. These menus have been slightly reworked for better readability.


Soul Hearts


Some new upgrades focus on giving players a new type of HP, giving some more variety to defensive options.

Happy Holidays!

V0.8.5 - New Upgrade Perks - Aero Magic and Dodge!

Aero Magic


Become master of the wind with Aero magic! Shoot out gales to tear monster apart!


Dodge


Dodge enemy attacks with the Evasive upgrade perks. These new perks give players more defensive options to help survive until dawn!


Other Changes

  • Getting ping-ponged around by enemies when players got hit was a frustrating experience. So now, getting hit by enemies will no longer knock the player around. Instead, enemies are knocked away.
  • Bullet bounce was causing bullets to go back towards the player and was often obscuring the player sprite. So bounce has been changed to ricochet towards the nearest enemy, reducing the chance that the player sprite will be obscured by bullets.
