Bug Fixes, Visual Improvements, and Optimizations!
Cloakers,
Finally managed to squeeze in this update before the weekend! it consists of bug fixes, visual improvements, and optimizations, all based on your feedback over the past few days since free 2 play transition.
Fixed the freeze spell infinite money glitch when landing killing blow on an enemy. Freeze spell can no longer be spammed as it was unhealthy for the game. A minimum cooldown of 4 seconds has been added on top of the shots needed to recharge this spell. The cost has also been increased to 1700.
Fixed a bug where some players were getting stuck underneath the boss room for the 2nd boss-fight.
Improved and enabled smoother interactions with the Elder shop.
Pixel art for the 4th boss has been improved. The skulls from his land piece attacks are now outlined in red to make them more visible and easier to dodge (used to blend with the bckground).
Enemy positions at the start of the 2nd level have been readjusted to provide more room early on.
The game timer should now display correctly at the end of the level.
Minor tweaks to the UI
Added the Elder shop to the Boss Rush mode, which was previously missing due to a spawning issue.
That's it for now. Currently working on more UI improvements and enhancements to the end level.
As always, I will be on the lookout for your feedback on Discord and will continue to adjust and update the game accordingly. Please feel free to join as we build an active community!
