Version 2.2.2: Grenade Launcher, Shotgun, and Auto-command now has defaults!
The frostbite cursor is now a piercing, semi-auto shotgun. Special cost is increased slightly.
Bomb cursor now fires grenades that bounce off walls and explode on contact with each other or enemies!
Blitz upgrade now fires rockets automatically instead of after dashing
The blackhole cursor is now the "slash" weapon type (previously "direct")
Performance optimizations with particles while lots of enemies are on screen
OSIRIS is now more resistant to freeze effects
Changed how some later game enemies spawn
Tank dash cooldown reduced from 1.0 to 0.75.
Tank move speed reduced from 0.65 to 0.55
Tank dash has been adjusted slightly to fit new move speed
Changed how late game enemy's ramp-up
Set a default auto command rotation and add the ability to set your own (Default rotation is: Frenzy, Heal, Dagger) This replaces the old default command and means you will start the game with a solid preset rotation all ready for you!
Fixed a bug where the first bullet of frenzy would spawn in the wrong location
Picking favorites now reduces terminal cooldown by 15% for all abilities instead of just suggestions
Version 2.2.1: "Direct" melee changes
Direct melee now acts as an aoe attack that knocks enemies away from the mouse cursor.
Critbox attacks still function how they used too though.
This allows you to still skill shot critboxes, but also play around with aoe damage and juggle enemies around the map.
Try it, it's fun!
Version 2.2.0: New "Slash" Primary Type, Buffed Melee, QOL, and more!
Melee weapon types are now split into two categories "direct" and "slash".
Direct is the previous melee type and slash is a new close-ranged aoe slash!
Sword and bomb cursors have been converted to the new "slash" type.
Slash also comes with a new "double slash" modifier upgrade.
Direct melee is also buffed! The aoe, non-crit portion of direct attacks has been increased in size from 35 to 55 (that's in pixels)! That makes it a lot easier to hit enemies!
QOL
Skill tree buffs now display the name of the tree above the upgrade
Amulet text now changes color based on the rarity of the amulet
Pressing escape while in a match now allows you to pause and return to the main menu
Ghost is faster, and his teleport no longer cancels his phase state, but he deals normal damage

OSIRIS now moves faster and is no longer affected by any knockback, but his health starts out lower and scales less over time
Rocket Tree rocket duration from 2.25 to 2.0 seconds
Double Whammy audio is now compressed to prevent spiking with sword cursor special
Fixed some terminal problems with heal and special not looping if your health or special meter was full
Also changed heal and special to be accessible even when health and special meters are full
Removed the multiply command

New Terminal Autocommand
The terminal now stores commands and puts them on a cycle of up to three commands. The cycle will automatically activate commands and loops until changed.
Improved performance and rebalancing!
Various rebalancing of enemies and arenas so that scaling feels better. Lower kernel levels are more engaging and the game should progress a lot smoother both during the match, between kernel levels and between arenas.
The game now has greatly improved performance, and a new option to enable and remove glow effects (on by default). This acts as a minimalist light mode and still looks as good as the normal graphics mode. I've added the ability to enable old glow effects should you want.
The game also has had various behind-the-scenes code optimizations and has a new dynamic low graphics mode where the game will auto-kick into a pseudo-low graphics mode if your fps drop too much for too long.
Fixes/balance changes
Fixed OSIRIS boss fight crash
Fixed frostbite cursor rarities potentially crashing the game
Weapon rarity now gives a 5% damage buff instead of 10%. (Only applies to primaries)

Version 2.0.0: Weapon rarities
Weapon Rarities
New extended gameplay progression!
Added weapon rarity
"Common" "Rare" "Epic" "Mystic"
Primaries and secondaries have weapon rarity
A new weapon rarity is guaranteed at the end of a completed run. If your weapon is a mystic, then a new mystic is guaranteed instead!
Weapons gain 10% bonus damage from each rarity level until mystic, where they gain a mystic perk.
The power of mystic perks is randomly generated and weighted based on difficulty level so that higher difficulties give better perk buffs
The types of perks that can be earned vary based on the arena.
"move_speed" - Faster move speed "xp_boost" - Lowered level-up cost "attrition" - Enemies have lower hp "health" - Increased max health "terminal recharge" - Decreased terminal cooldown
Mystic perks can be stacked across primaries and secondaries.
For example, a mystic primary weapon with a 5% damage bonus and a mystic secondary with a 5% damage bonus would stack to give a 10% damage bonus.
(Mystic perks don't have to both be "damage" to stack, perks stack regardless of upgrade type)
This greatly increases replay value and progression depth!

Frenzy bullets now pierce 1 enemy
