Update 14 (v0.5.87)
Hi,
The biggest highlight of this update is reworked characters system. All passive abilities for characters except Platypus were changed completely. Also from now on, all the characters have active abilities too which can be changed during gameplay and used depending on situation, playing style and etc. More information about each character is now represented in a separate window instead of small icons which were not very descriptive before.
There were some other changes in the game. You can find more details below.
New
Added game tutorial. It won’t be shown to those who already played the game and brought any artefacts to the Crow at least once.
Added active abilities: Propeller, Icicle, Teleport, Bubble, Iron Wings, Teddy, Egg Bomb and Nails. Abilities can be found during gameplay and picking it up replaces your current ability you have.
Added 18 hand-crafted levels.
Added two new starting weapons: Drizzler for Duck and Swift for Chicken.
Added new Compass item.
Changes
Reworked all the characters except Platypus:
Duck Has Drizzle as a starting weapon.
Not shooting for 1 second reloads weapon for next shot 3 times faster.
Has 50% lower weapon range.
Bluebird Has Pistol as a starting weapon.
Any damage taken having 1 HP left, decreases max HP.
By entering boss level, refills health converting every 5 coins to 1 HP.
Chicken Has Swift as a starting weapon.
Can kill marked enemies in one shot.

Parrot Has Teeny Tiny Laser Gun as a starting weapon.
Dealing damage to enemies reduce their walking speed for 2 seconds.
Has 40% lower cooldown time for active abilities.
Has 70% lower coin drop possibility.
Due to character changes mentioned above, those items and artefacts were changed too:
Power Punch - completely removed from the game.
Oblivion Stone - now it takes away character’s active ability instead of taking away ability to slide.
Venom - now it does not allow to pick up an ability instead of losing an ability.
Shackles - now it doubles cooldown time for character's active ability instead of reducing the length of slide.
Dead enemies now become transparent if they are nearby acid pools.
Weapon stealing in the shop now is more clear and understandable. If you step on a tile to buy a weapon without having enough coins, “STEAL” title will appear instead of it's price.
Balance
Balanced Platypus a little bit.
Black Matter Gun will not be available in Swamp or Graveyard shops.
Bug fixes
Fixed a bug where on very rare occasions Player 1 was spawned outside of level map bounds in tournament mode.

Update 12 (v0.5.85)
Hi,
The main focus for this update was on performance. Until now the game was running at a fixed frame rate (60 fps). Due to game engine specifics, even if the players had high spec PC sometimes they experienced frame rate lower than 60 fps. For those and for the players who had lower spec hardware, the game was running slower. With this update the game now has a dynamic frame rate, so ones who have computers which can handle high frame rates now can enjoy even smoother gameplay, and those who see up to 60 fps can have full game experience.
Changes
Adjusted colliders for Brute, Puffs and Fat Fly.
Fixed Grenade Launcher spelling mistake.
Fixed a spelling mistake in Frying Pan description.
Bug fixes
Fixed a bug where Zip bullet hitting ghost statue triggered ghost to appear on wrong side.
Fixed a bug where wrong number of items near risk value indication bar was showed when the risk value of last collected artefact was equal to the remaining risk value in the bar.
Fixed a bug where risk value bar was visually filled a little bit even if you did not have any artefacts in possession.
Fixed a bug where sometimes Jut’s lightning was visually in the wrong position for the first few frames.
Fixed a bug where you couldn’t deal damage to enemies with Needle item if Cloak item was in effect.
Fixed a bug where picking up an item in the shop would also caused accidentally buying or stealing a gun. Now you can do one action at a time.
New area is in the making and after couple updates you can enjoy it.
Best regards,
Blazing Beaks Team

Fixed a bug where a Ghost in Graveyard appeared not on the correct side when Brute hit the statue.

Update 9 (v0.5.82)
Hi,
It’s been a while since our last update and finally the new update is here. It took time to put everything together, because after adding new weapons due to the way they work a lot of adjustments, balancing and changes in the game itself were needed too. That also lead to reviewing every single existing weapon. In this update Bogy (Graveyard boss) remains more or less the same as in previous version. We still need more time to make the needed changes and balance this boss more so it’s likely that in the next version it will be significantly updated.
More details about the update below:
New
Added new weapons: Teeny Tiny Laser Gun, Knife Arbalest, Poison Gun, Ice Gun, Nail Gun, Azure, Golden Gun, Grenade Launcher, Rocket Launcher, Zip.
Added a light shining from the hatch when it opens. Now it’s easier to find the characters at the beginning of the level.
Now every time you want to buy a gun in the shop you can view it’s stats at the bottom of game window.
Now you can steal a gun in the shop if you do not have enough coins to buy it, however, it will have consequences.
Additionally added confirm button “E” in menu.
Training book item now has visual representation when it’s triggered.
Before attacking Crux (Red Forest Boss) will indicate where the rotating crystals will be.
Newt (Swamp Boss) now has a separate indication when he will attack with his tongue.
Changes
Improved visuals of explosions.
If you passed at least one loop, a number of loops passed will be showed in game end and pause windows.
The time intervals of acid when it does damage for bosses will be the same as for other enemies.
The time intervals of toxic fumes when it does damage for bosses will be the same as for other enemies.
Removed invincibility frames for bosses.
Balance
Reduced damage dealt by Fat Fly.
Increased possibility for Training Book item to be triggered.
Reduced possibility that there will be a random weapon in the shop and if it is, it will be the only one random weapon.
Balanced which weapons and when appear in the Story mode.
Adjusted prices of weapons.
Balanced coin drops from the enemies.
Balanced which weapons and how many appear in the Tournament mode.
Balanced artefact drops from the enemies.
Reduced Shotgun’s damage dealt from 2x3 bullets to 1x3 bullets.

Balanced all the bosses.

Update 8 (v0.5.81)
Hi,
Here is a small update with some of community suggested items and artefacts. We are really thankful and happy for great ideas and suggestions you share and all the support. Here’s an overview of the update:
Bug fixes
Fixed a bug where co-op player’s negative impact of all his artefacts was reset after another player gave his artefacts to the crow in the shop.
New
Artefacts: Bogy Bone, Coal, Shackles.
Items: Frying Pan, Duck Scout Badge.
Changes
Tweaked shooting while player is running a little bit.
This is the last update this year. The next one should include the improved guns system, more guns and other things. As new guns require new sounds so making this update should take up to few weeks, but we will try to make and release it as soon as possible.
We wish you happy holidays and hope that Blazing Beaks will bring you way more fun and excitement in 2018.
Best regards,
Blazing Beaks Team
Update 7 (v0.5.80)
Hi,
We would like to introduce Update 7. We did not manage to do everything what we planned so we will put these in upcoming updates. The biggest change in the game with this update is the changed artefacts/items exchange system. You can read more below, so here’s an overview of this update.
Bug fixes
Fixed a bug where sometimes you could deal damage to Creep when he’s hiding.
Fixed a bug where a crosshair was visible after co-op player was dead, if he was playing with mouse and keyboard.
Fixed a bug where first shot had a wrong direction if Fire button was held while a player was jumping out of the hatch.
Fixed a bug where some weapons would not deal damage to enemies if they were standing very close to the wall above them.
Fixed a bug where Fat Fly exploded running into the worm even if he was under the ground.
Changes
Changed Items/Artefacts exchange system. Now every artefact has it’s risk value depending on the negative impact it has. The number of items you get in the shop now depends on the total risk value you carried. The indicator at the top will show the minimum amount of items you will get in the shop and how much risk value you still need to collect for additional item. So with this new system players will be rewarded more.
Edited Lunch Box and Lock Pick Set descriptions.
Added additional animation for Puffus when he’s dead but not exploded.
Older versions had an option to turn on adjusted movement controls for gamepad with F8 keyboard key. Now it’s deprecated.
Improved movement controls for gamepad.
Improved shooting. Now the speed of bullet also depends on player’s movement.
Improved aiming with gamepad.

Razor Gun now has a distance parameter instead of number of bounces.
Adjusted player’s slide ability.
Explosion marks now are shown below the spikes.
Butterflies in Swamp are now more blended into the environment.
Added additional pre-explode animation for Fat Fly. It will work as an indicator that Fat Fly is about to explode.
If you want to give the artefacts to the crow, you no longer need to wait while the text over the crow disappears.
Balance
Golden Bullet item now increases weapon damage by 0.5% for every coin you have. (Previously it was 0.2%).
Pistol, Double pistol and Shotgun bullets are more accurate now. Previously it had a small deviation on every shot.
Coupon item - increased the discount for weapons by 10%.
Red Juice item - changed what it does. Now it refills your HP and if you already have full HP adds 1 max HP.
Hourglass item - increased the chance to get HP every time you enter next level.
