Aura of Worlds

Update 0.66.4.5

Equipped items are drawn on all humanoid characters!!!





  • Small items are synced on the active hand's current animation (only hidden during special actions like dodge rolling)

  • The larger weapons are drawn in 3 different positions depending on the adventurer's current actions:

    • On the back

    • Held passively

    • Attacking



Other graphics:



  • New animation for midair jump
  • Status icon for vampirism potion effect.


Bug fixes:



  • Fixed animation bug when running against a wall.
    We left this in the game for a while; as some people found it comical. However we've finally figured it was for the best to remove it; R.I.P.


  • Fixed bug with all skeletons in a given level weilding the same weapon
  • Fixed glitch where jumping didn't disrupt the shadow rune
  • Various other


P.s. A note to FRAPs users:


If you're using FRAPs to record footage; you can launch the EXE directly from
"/steamapps/common/Aura of Worlds"
Other popular recording software like OBS work fine as is.

***PATCH 0.66.5.1***


18th of June

  • Fixed bug where skeletons arms weren't drawn when an item was equipped on their back.
  • Player no longer immediately puts away items on performing actions that would move the equipped item to their back (e.g. ledge climbing/wall climbing/rolling/wall sliding etc.).
  • Skeletal warrior sword attacks are telegraphed better.


***Next update in early July***


Thanks for reading folks :D

Update 0.65.4

Hi folks,

We've been listening to your feedback and suggestions over the past two weeks and have been updating the game accordingly :)

Here's what's changed...



  • Four New runes:

    • Sharpness
    • Shadow
    • Reflective-Roll
    • Double-Jump.


  • Fortune rune now causes enemies/chests to drop additional money; instead of applying a flat discount. Vases and crates drop less money.
  • You can now interrupt dodge rolling half way; with a jump.
  • Controls:

    • Grid inventory and pause button are swapped on controller by default.
    • All standard buttons are rebindable including pause.

  • Bug fixes:

    • Skeleton heads properly trigger dart traps even when attached
    • No more out of boomerang prompts while waiting for the last one thrown to return.
    • Can no longer shield bash the object you're carrying.
    • No gap at base of rising lava texture
    • Fixed ugly texture gaps on hud bars; when swapping from a higher resolution back to native (1066x600) res.
    • Various other.

  • A.I.:

    • Slimes now attack 33% faster; but regular slimes can only damage you during their jumping attacks.
    • Jellyfish have a telegraph animation.
    • Fewer enemies deal contact damage; and those that do (e.g. giant slimes) have revised rules including an added delay before applying that attack.
    • Mages are smarter and will avoid teleporting into obvious traps like lava or spears.


  • Sound/graphics:

    • Improved support for higher resolutions. Title animations and coin prompt animations now scale properly.
    • Wall slide sound effect.
    • Engine support for looped sound.
    • Red "x" appears on items which are out of supplies/charges"

  • Numerous other tweaks and balance changes...
