"Haunted by the Shopkeeper's Ghost", "Attack of the Clones", new music from Danny Baranowsky, achievements, a level editor, and more!
Read on for the complete list:
Added a level editor! Unlock it by beating zone 3 in normal mode or hardcore mode.
Added a ton of fun achievements!
Added a new music track for when you’re training against enemies and minibosses in the lobby!
Added shopkeeper’s ghost! It’ll appear at some point during the run if you kill the shopkeeper.
Added spooky undead ‘clone' enemies for Aria, Bard, Monk, and Bolt!
Made daggers of phasing and frost each do 3 damage
Removed Teal Scroll (Scroll of Descend) from the game. It makes speedrunning too luck based.
Fixed bug where the beating heart wasn’t always showing up on the Calibration GUI
Made it so unloaded crossbows do the appropriate damage for their material type
Made dagger of frost not melt on hot coals (but fireballs, bombs, etc, still do melt it)
Made hellhounds and fire/ice slimes not destroy trap doors when they fall through them
We hope you enjoy the update! Happy Halloween, everyone!

Made it so you can attack and aggro the shopkeeper with bombs or a fireball spell, and changed how dragon fire affects shopkeeper
Updated Monk scoring (you get credit for all coins left on the ground) and made bombs destroy coins and items in the blast
Made it so that if you have a bomb or good shovel you can destroy King Conga’s throne and speed up that boss battle
Added 'empty heart container' and 'double empty heart container' items, and added chance of them appearing in secret Health Shop
Fixed Shrine of Risk bug where you could move quickly on the next level to avoid damage
Made boots of leaping togglable and made them less rare
Increased the duration of effect for tempo traps
Changed bounce traps so that they take effect immediately (should fix replay/bard inconsistencies and a bunch of other issues)
And there were plenty more changes beyond these! For a complete list, see this thread on our forums:
