0.4.2 Custom difficulties, new skins and more!
July was a slow month of development, I took some breaks after the last big update due to slight burnout. On top of that I got sick with corona for the first time at the end of the month after avoiding the virus for over 2 years (and I'm still sick right now but getting better).
I'm hoping to start implementing the next area soon and also new Astral gates. Anyway, in this update I've finally added the Custom Difficulties! This allows you to play the game in new ways either by making the game easier or doing insanely hard (and tedious) custom challenge runs. This is a quite modular system and it allows me to add more modifiers later. I've also added a bunch of new skins to the game that you can unlock. And then there are fixes and tweaks to a bunch of other stuff. Enjoy!

0.4.1 Sword upgrades!
The new sword upgrades is technically something I never planned on putting into the game. But recently I've been feeling like the game needed some sort of permanent upgrade to the melee attack and generally it's just satisfying as a player to get stronger as you progress through the game.
The upgrades are very straight forward, there are three of them scattered in different locations. You pick one up and it straight up gives you +2 damage to your attack. That means your base sword damage can now go up to 16 damage per hit. To compensate for this increase some of the bosses HP have been tweaked a bit. The balancing is probably not final so please do let me know which bosses you might feel have too much or too little HP.
