Rainbow Update!
We're very excited to present the rainbow update! Just like a rainbow, this update has a little bit of everything and explores new mechanics through the aspect of randomness.
We're introducing a rainbow character that has a unique mechanic of randomizing the last 3 items you've got. With this character, the playing field is constantly evolving and buying an item becomes a tool to lock in your current gear.
Since we're talking about rainbows, if you decide to follow the way of the rainbow, you'll be rewarded with a pot of gold at the end.
Alongside the new starting choices you'll find the option to start a run with a random palette, character and/or brush. If you're ever unsure of what tools to use - you can let fortune decide.
The palette selection has also been expanded with some neat prismatic palettes. They are unique as they don't have a predetermined set of colors to use. Instead, they generate a random color for each enemy, based on some rules. This should lead to some interesting and more dynamic works of art.
The roster of enemies has been expanded with a few enemies - the fish and the bull. The fish enemies appear in the earlier levels and will dive under the canvas to avoid player attacks. The bull is a tough fella' with a powerful charge attack and he can be found in the later levels.
Last, but not least, we're introducing the water balloon brush! It's a chargeable brush where holding the attack button will increase the balloon in size. Releasing the attack button will fire the projectile. If it hits any enemies, it will explode, taking out nearby foes. The bigger the balloon - the bigger the explosion.
In the background there have also been plenty of fixes and optimizations, as well as an engine upgrade. The game should run even better, especially on weaker hardware.

Finger Painting Update!
Today's update introduces a new paint brush into your tool belts. It's a painting tool that we're all too familiar with - fingers!
"Finger painting" is a brush that has very short range, very high damage and a lightning fast dash attack that allows you to smear enemies across the canvas. It's tricky to use and requires precise positioning for maximum effectiveness.
The Finger Painting update also features several character reworks. The goal of these changes is to make the characters more distinct from one another, while maintaining their core essence. For example, the lemon character is all about the money - it starts the game with a purse and interest, but it also becomes slightly weaker with each item you buy. Cursed to hoard a ton of money, but afraid to spend it. The lime character is all about speed and mobility so it's health has been reduced, but it now spawns lime wedges that give a temporary buff to the player. Several other characters have been reworked - you can find all the changes in the release notes.
A few new items have also been added into the game. One of them is Interest - it gives you money when you beat a level, based on how much money you currently have. Another is the mighty Tesla Coil that zaps enemies and becomes stronger if you have a lot of energy.
Lastly we've got a few balance changes, fixes, tweaks and quality of life improvements.
Hope you enjoy the Finger Painting update! Stay tuned for more even updates!

Ascension Update
Today's update introduces the concepts of Ascensions and Burdens.
Ascensions are unlocked when you beat the game with maximum fame. You start at Ascension level 1 and at the start of the game you can pick up one Burden. As the name implies, Burdens have a negative effect that you'll have to bear for the whole run. If you manage to beat the game with the Burden, you'll gain an Ascension level. Higher Ascension levels require a larger amount of Burdens, thus making runs more and more difficult as you Ascend further and further. There's a (not so) special character that you can unlock by Ascending with all 10 Burdens.
This update also features a character rework - the Pure character is now permanently capped at 1 max health point and any extra health points get converted into attack speed. The aim of this change is to highlight the "glass cannon" nature of the Pure character, making the single health point and very fast attack speed the core identity of this little fella.
There are now more achievements in the game to nudge players towards playing with different characters and to reward successful experimentation. Lastly, there are various fixes, tweaks and changes that you can read up on in the full release notes.
More updates coming soon, so stay tuned!
Enjoy!
