Fresh Items and Balance Tweaks!
We’ve got some exciting updates in store for you today, and a big surprise at the end, so stick around!
First up, we’re introducing four brand new items to Bounty of One that we believe will shake things up and give you more options to interact with the Pierce mechanic.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s new:
- Frozen Bouncy Ball
Gain 1 bounce for every pierce you have, and gain 1 pierce. - Jackhammer Charges
Gain 5% damage for every pierce you have, and gain 1 pierce. - Bullet Spear
Gain 1 dash slot for every pierce you have, and gain 1 pierce.
We noticed a lack of interaction with pierce in the current game, so these items aim to give you more ways to use this underappreciated stat.
Finally, an item returning from the beta that some of you might recognize:
- Reckless Abandon
When you take damage, reduce your maximum Health by the amount of damage you should have taken and gain +5% damage per max health lost.
This one’s been a long time coming—we weren’t happy with its state during the beta, but after some tuning, it’s ready to go live.
We’ve also made various balancing changes across several other objects in the game. You can find the full details in the patch notes.
In case you missed it, the mobile version of Bounty of One is now available! Perfect for those quick games on the go.
And now, for the big news…
We’re thrilled to officially announce our next game: Hive Blight!
In Hive Blight, you’ll lead a team of insect soldiers against a dark menace known as the fungomancer. This new game is a completely fresh adventure from us at OptizOnion, blending auto-battler strategy with the chaotic thrill of roguelite elements. Each playthrough will offer new challenges and paths to explore – recruit, discover synergies, and take on the blight in ways you’ve never seen before!
We can’t wait to share more details soon, and we’re buzzing with excitement for you to try it. In the Meantime, you can go wishlist it here:

"Panic in the Mines" is here!
This is it! Our new DLC, "Panic in the Mines" is out! Get ready to face the depths of Greenhill!
You can purchase the DLC here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2900140/Bounty_of_One__Panic_in_the_Mines/
Here is what you can expect from the DLC:
The Undertaker and its minions have escaped thanks to his second in command, Denzel. It is up to you to pursue them in maze-like tunnels of the mines beneath Greenhill. Be careful though because there is a reason why the mines have been abandonned...
In the mines, your freedom of movement is limited. Be aware of the landslides and the goblin-driven minecarts!
Thankfully you're not alone in the pursuit of the Undertaker, a new band of heroes are joining your ranks:
"I created a monster, it's up to me to make sure it is put down!
"Growing up, Elias was an average kid at most. He never showed any specific traits or indications that he was suited for magic. However, Elias was born with an iron will and a drive to work towards his goals, and above all, he loved magic. For years, he focused on his studies, and although he had no talent to begin with, slowly, he overcame the deeds of any of his peers. Where he only inspired disdain at first, he gained the respect of the magical community. Eventually, he made his way to the top and even became the magic advisor of the state for a while. To many, he had done the impossible; to him, he had reached his dream and longed for a new goal. After a brilliant career as a state magician, he decided to invest his talents in something else and became the head teacher of a famous magic school. Tutoring students brought him a happiness he had never yet felt.
During that time, Elias met a peculiar young man, a diamond in the rough as you may say. The boy was simply incredible. Not only did he have more innate talent than any other Elias had seen, but the lad also had a drive to learn similar to his own. Truly, a potential beyond measure. For years, Elias taught the boy and watched him grow to become an unparalleled magic user. But something else had grown over time: an uneasiness that he felt when teaching the boy, an indescribable sinister feeling. And one day, the boy disappeared.
Distraught by the vanishing of his pupil, Elias looked all over and eventually found the boy's magic laboratory. There, he found horrors beyond belief and the trace of a powerful necromancy spell. What horrors did Elias bring upon the world by teaching this youngling? He vowed on the spot to track the lad and bring him down if need be.
After years of searching for his former student, Elias heard tales of a sinister presence that took over Greenhill, a necromancer so potent that no one dared face it, the Undertaker. There was no doubt in Elias's mind; it was him! Determined to face the consequences of his actions, Elias set out to Greenhill, ready to face whatever consequences awaited him."
You might be wondering what item would be such a grandiose wizard and I am more than happy to answer that, Elias will be wielding the...
After moving for a while, you shoot a slow intagible projectile. Lightning hits a random enemy within its area every 0.5 seconds.
"Evil only exists to be destroyed!"
Before coming to Greenhill, the Undertaker tried out his might on many small isolated communities, laying waste to them without leaving any trace. To the authorities, it always seemed to be natural disasters that shared no link between them. Indeed, there was no proof of any unusual activities and no one was ever left to testify otherwise. Until someone survived to tell the tale, Tara. However, once she told her story of a mighty Necromancer razing her little hamlet to the ground, no one believed it. It was indeed easier to believe that the story she told stemmed from the traumatizing disaster she had been through. For a while, she pleaded with the authorities but was only ever met with disbelief until she decided to take matters into her own hands. She vowed to use whatever means necessary to get revenge on the Undertaker, whatever the consequences. Around this time, while she was alone at night, she suddenly heard it, a guttural voice stemming from the dark: “I can give you the power you need” - it said. Blinded by her desire for revenge, she nodded and a contract seemingly appeared out of nowhere. “Sign it!” - said the voice with authority.
Tara held up the paper in hesitation. “Sign!” - hurled the voice; and she did. Suddenly the contract raised itself up in the air and changed into a very peculiar weapon, a pistol unlike any she had ever seen. “Feed me!” - said the voice from behind her with a renewed intensity, as if it now had corporeal form. When she turned around she saw it, a small but quite corpulent demon was there, right in front of her eyes - “Feed me”.
With this new weapon, Tara is now searching for the Undertaker to exact her revenge and with every minion she gets rid off, she gets stronger alongside her demon.
Here is a look at what her weapon does:
Summons a small flying demon. Each time your team collects 25 coins, when you stop moving, it shoots a huge beam at the closest enemy, it deals 3 times your damage to enemies it goes through.
"..."
Chaos is a very mysterious being, little is known as to how it came to be. The only thing we know for sure is that he appeared around the same time that the Undertaker came to Greenhill. It is stipulated that, when he took over, the Undertaker resorted to such extreme atrocity against the previous criminal rulers of the underworld of Greenhill that he inadvertently created an amalgam of the remnants of their souls. This cluster of anger and regret eventually gave birth to the entity known as Chaos.
Chaos only exists to bring down the Undertaker and, though the other heroes are hesitant to work alongside this entity, it seems useful in this endeavor for now.
Now let's see what his objects allows him to do:
-Objects in chest can't be identified. You gain a chest for every 7 level you've gained.-
Chaos's gameplay suits his name perfectly, you'll never be able to tell which object you're choosing, you only have access to the information on the object's rarity. To compensate, you'll get access to even more chest within a run.
That's not all, those new heroes came packing a big ne arsenal for you to try. 30 objects are added to the game, It should help to get through the mines!
Moreover, we've added 17 new achievements for you to overcome and conquer! Get ready!
Additionally, we wanted to share our appreciation for all the support we got since we made Bounty of One available to the public.
Therefore, on the release date of "Bounty of One: Panic in the Mines", an additional character, free for everyone, will be added to the game.
"There is no shame in thinking small."
Inheritor of Greenhill's only Inn, Ernesto was hoping to live a quiet and simple life but the arrival of the Undertaker made it impossible. He has now joined the rebellion against the necromancer and wants to bring him down and go back to his former life.
Check the patchnotes to read his backstorie and check his object.
In addition to all the new stuff listed before, we have, as per usual, updated a few things in the main game and reset the leaderboard. Check out the full patch below!
I hope you enjoy all the new things we've added!
Patch note:
New Character :
Ernesto is a simple man, he never wished for wealth or power nor did he wish for the thrill of adventure, all he ever wanted was to live a quiet life in the quiet little town he was born in, Greenhill. From his father he inherited the “Emerald Goblet”, the town’s modest inn. The place was nothing special and Ernesto was neither a great cook nor a great host but there was only one inn in town so clients would come in regularly and Ernesto could make ends meet without trouble. For years, it seems that his ideal would never falter and that, outside of some hot-headed troublemakers every now and then, he could live out a peaceful life without any trouble. However, the situation changed for the worst when the Undertaker took over Greenhill. If the status quo had remained, Ernesto would have happily stayed put and changed nothing of his day-to-day life however, with the Undertaker came his minions and they scared the inn empty and refused to pay for their bill, threatening violence instead.
In these conditions, it was clear that Ernesto would never get the quiet life he longs for. Determined to get it back, he enlisted under Jody’s rebellion against the Undertaker and became its official cook and intendant.

Cast Member Showcase : Tara
Let's continue our presentation of our new cast members that will appear in Panic in the Mines while we wait for it to drop. Say "hi!" to Tara, the vengefull huntress!
Before coming to Greenhill, the Undertaker tried out his might on many small isolated communities, laying waste to them without leaving any trace. To the authorities, it always seemed to be natural disasters that shared no link between them. Indeed, there was no proof of any unusual activities and no one was ever left to testify otherwise. Until someone survived to tell the tale, Tara. However, once she told her story of a mighty Necromancer razing her little hamlet to the ground, no one believed it. It was indeed easier to believe that the story she told stemmed from the traumatizing disaster she had been through. For a while, she pleaded with the authorities but was only ever met with disbelief until she decided to take matters into her own hands. She vowed to use whatever means necessary to get revenge on the Undertaker, whatever the consequences. Around this time, while she was alone at night, she suddenly heard it, a guttural voice stemming from the dark: “I can give you the power you need” - it said. Blinded by her desire for revenge, she nodded and a contract seemingly appeared out of nowhere. “Sign it!” - said the voice with authority.
Tara held up the paper in hesitation. “Sign!” - hurled the voice; and she did. Suddenly the contract raised itself up in the air and changed into a very peculiar weapon, a pistol unlike any she had ever seen. “Feed me!” - said the voice from behind her with a renewed intensity, as if it now had corporeal form. When she turned around she saw it, a small but quite corpulent demon was there, right in front of her eyes - “Feed me”.
With this new weapon, Tara is now searching for the Undertaker to exact her revenge and with every minion she gets rid off, she gets stronger alongside her demon.
Here is a look at what her weapon does:
Summons a small flying demon. Each time your team collects 25 coins, when you stop moving, it shoots a huge beam at the closest enemy, it deals 3 times your damage to enemies it goes through.
