Update Notes for v20240218
Oh hey, it's been a while!

This update tweaks the balance a bit more and makes it easier to get into the groove, slightly decreasing difficulty across the board. This includes updates to enemy & hazard damage, the HP trait, healing from repair bay & bosses, and more. You'll take less damage and get more HP. All in all these changes should make it less grindy to claim your first victory over the Zeitgeber!

The challenge expeditions are mostly uneffected by this update and should be at a similar difficulty level as before.

Have fun,
Kai

BIG UPDATE: New Weapon, Key Rebinding & More
Hey all, we've been working on this update for the past few weeks and are excited to finally release it!



Here's what's new & changed:

New Features



  • The Acid Linkgun is now available in the game once you've defeated the second district's mini-boss! It shoots deadly acid beams that connect to enemies or burst them down, all while playing pleasant melodies. There's also a new achievement that you'll unlock when finishing a run with the Acid Linkgun.
  • Key Rebinding is now available in the Controls menu!

Balancing


  • decreased HP of most bosses by up to 20%, as they were a bit too sponge-y
  • significantly increased the damage of projectiles reflected by your barrier, which is especially helpful against those beloved sniper enemies
  • slightly reduced Fragment & Gold Orb drops from enemies & Zeitgeber reward nodes
  • buffed lots of Efficiency and a few Defense upgrades
  • increased initial trait limit even further (400 -> 500)
  • your upgrade shockwaves can no longer be blocked by enemy barriers
  • some more weapon damage tweaks (based on tracked gameplay metrics)

Quality of Life



  • tweaked visibility & scale of some enemy attack indicators
  • added a warning message when closing the Extensions screen without having selected all your extensions
  • Barry (when available) is now literally standing in your way - if you still don't talk to him, you're a bad person


Let us know how you like the new weapon here on Steam, or on our Discord:
