v1.1.10 Patch Notes

Changes

• The shields that Kite Knight’s hold now visually show the status effects they have.
  
• Changed the art for enemies in the upcoming enemy preview scroll.
  
• Altered the new Brick Slime and Plant fight to be easier by adding 3 bombs to the board, making the 2nd Plant start close to you, and delaying the spawn of the final Brick Slime.
  
• Added new art in the bestiary for the Domesticated Battrap and both the icon and loot art for the Euphorbia.
  

Bugfixes and Small Changes

• Our backup system was sometimes causing issues where Cruciball progression wouldn’t be properly matched up with backup files, and the game was overwriting the main file with the backup save. To address this, we have changed this for a non-destructive merge of data instead. This means that those of you who have seen instances of Cruciball progression not stick will no longer see this affect you.
  
• Fixed a softlock in the Slenderlin fight where orbs would bounce against the wall forever.
  
• Fixed the softlock in the Shield Mage fight where its Ballwark icons could get duplicated.
  
• Fixed softlock in the Thesaurosus fight.
  
• Fixed Status Symbol from not properly tracking its highest Cruciball completion level.
  
• Fixed a long-standing bug where, when using Unicorn Horn, brick peg prediction did not match the outcome of the shot. Other additional prediction issues with Unicorn Horn (bouncing off of walls, for instance) should be fixed with this change as well.
  
• Fixed issue where the player would take 2 turns of damage at the beginning of a fight despite having the Round Cheese combo.
  
• Fixed bug with the prediction line when you aimed a Summoning Circle while you had the Matryoshka Shell.
  
• Fixed the navigation of the buttons in the Corrupted Save File warning when using a controller.
  
• Fixed the interaction between Instigatorb and Memorb not giving you Memorbs bonus damage when it attacks all enemies.
  
• Fixed bug where Pincer Maneuver’s second attack wouldn’t fire when you used a Summoning Circle to fire a targeted orb.
  
• Fixed a bug where destroying dull pegs in the Pigment of Imagination fight would cause improper prediction for those pegs.
  
• Fixed the prediction line passing through pegs in the Peg-ta fight sometimes.
  
• Stopped relic keyword tooltips from overflowing off the bottom of the screen.
  
• Fixed prediction issues with the Flickering Pegs pegboard in the Mines
  
• Fixed the relic collection sound effect not playing in peg minigames.
  
• Slightly reduced the volume of the relic collection sound effect.
  
• Fixed the brown map getting misaligned when it’s open while you destroy all the bombs in a chest.
  
• Fixed the Assemball not displaying properly in run summaries when you have multiple of them.

v1.0.6 Patch Notes

New Content

• [New Forest Miniboss] Stompy Stomps - These two massive walking stumps are quite hearty, and still pack a punch when knocked down!
  
• [New Rare Peglin Orb] Jupitorb - Shoots out lasers that activate pegs, and attacks all enemies!
  
• [New Boss Relic] Safety Pegulations - All projectile attacks pierce 2 additional enemies, but bombs deal 75% less damage and 75% less self damage.
  
• [New Rare Relic] Parallel Boomiverse - Whenever bombs are created in a battle, create an additional regular bomb.
  
• Orbs firing at enemies are now predicted with raycasts to ensure they never skip over or hit an additional enemy. All orb shot hitboxes are also now the same size, and orbs fired at flying enemies can no longer be blocked by grounded enemies.
  
• Rigged bomb damage increased from 150/100 to 200/150.
  
• You can now inspect status effect icons on enemies and the player on controller as a third mode after inspecting your relics and upcoming orbs.
  
• Scrolling up and down on the brown preview map is now faster and more responsive with all input methods.
  
• Castle Mirrors have gotten an art update to make them match their mines counterparts. Both mirrors now also have a new animation that plays when they reflect damage.
  
• Regular stumps have had their art updated to match the new miniboss.
  
• Shots will now be forcefully ended after 3 minutes to avoid softlocks.
  

Balance Changes

• The Demon Wall no longer spawns dull pegs on C20.
  
• Avogadro’s attack damage has been reduced from 11 to 8, but now gains 1 Muscircle (2 at C20) whenever the tree is hit by an attack that does more than 25 damage. Prior to this change Avogadro was still the easiest of all the forest bosses, so this is our next step to try to balance all 3.
  
• The difficulty of extra enemies that spawn in easy battles from C19 has been limited. For example now a Red Slimedrop can no longer spawn in your first few battles before you have the means to deal with it. Additionally, C19 spawning in all battles is weighted by the difficulty of enemies, so you will no longer have a small chance to get multiple hard enemies spawn in one fight.
  
• Mirrors can no longer spawn as a C19 extra enemy.
  
• Horriballs no longer have negative stats, and are now 0/0. We wanted to do this to make it play better with buffs and Spinventoriginality.
  
• Spinfection on the player now only ticks down after you have fired an orb.
  
• The available gold in the easy forest spider battle has been increased by 10.
  
• Shops can no longer spawn in ‘?’ nodes.
  
• Constricting Chains changed to fire a scatter shot of 3 orbs rather than one forward and backwards. We wanted to change this relic again since shooting backwards meant it only really gave you 2 options to pick from each shot. However the scattershot proved to be really powerful, so we had to make it halve orb damage as well to keep it balanced.
  
• Heavy Hand now also makes all orbs Dense.
  
• The length of the aimer when you have both Heavy Hand and Unicorn Horn has been reduced.
  
• Consuming Chalice has been removed from Balladin’s relic pool, as neither of its effects fits with Balladin’s synergies.
  
• Haglin's Satchel grants 2 fewer upgrades and grants 50 gold instead. This allows you to upgrade the orbs you want instead of random ones, or to add/remove orbs instead
  
• Hero's Backpack reworked to now grant +1/+2 to all non-Pebball duplicate orbs you own.
  
• Recombombulator now respawns rigged bombs as regular bombs.
  
• Orbert’s Story has been changed to grant a chest every 4th ‘?’ node you enter, and to increase rare relic chances by 50% instead of adding a flat 7%.
  
• Perfected Reactant bomb damage buff increased from 15 to 20.
  
• Perfect Forger self-damage increased from 4 to 6.
  
• Molten gold buffed from 5 to 10 extra gold.
  
• Double Damage slime now refreshes along with its peg just like Healing and Lightning slime do.
  
• Damage Reduction slime now stays on the board until you take damage.
  
• Level 3 Shock Orbsorbers buffed to also always reduce damage from rigged bombs by 1 while you own it. This makes it takeable in any build as a utility orb to help protect yourself. As such, it has been converted from uncommon to rare, and is now available on all classes.
  
• Bob-Orb has been buffed to convert the first peg hit to a bomb at level 1, create 1 bomb when drawn and reduce pegs needed to hit per bomb from 8 to 7 at level 2, and create 2 bombs when drawn at level 3.
  
• Collatorball Damage now also deals flat damage per rigged bomb on the board. It also converts the first peg it hits to a rigged bomb at level 1, and the pegs needed to hit per rigged bomb has been reduced from 9 to 8 at level 2.
  
• OffeRing now attacks all enemies, instead of just grounded ones.
  
• Orbelisks now also give increased damage to all Pebballs, Bouldorbs, and Orbelisks in your deck. Orbelisk damage has been reduced slightly to help account for this.
  
• Added Orbelisk to Balladin’s orb pool.
  
• Allorbnothing and Extra-Orbinary are now buffed by opposite damage types at all levels, not just level 3. Allorbnothing is now only available on Balladin, and Extra-Orbinary is now only available to Roundrel (both are still available to Peglin).
  
• Bullyball changed to work any time you’ve taken self-damage this battle with no health loss necessary so it can be blocked with Ballwark.
  
• Activatorb buffed to work on discard at level 2, and its stats have been increased slightly.
  
• Orborous crit damage increased from 2 to 3.
  
• Kobanorb and Swashbucklorb have been removed from Balladin’s orb pool.
  
• The Resistance Knight fight now starts on the opposite board peg board.
  
• 4 more bombs have been added to the difficult mines Sporeshroom fight.
  
• The midas event has been tweaked so that the damage you take is lower, and the gold it can grant is higher.
  
• The damage required to make a rainbow slime drop a coin when hit has been reduced from 60 to 30.
  
• Tweaked the lifetime of the long peg cups in the forest plant miniboss pegboard to help make orbs fall down the middle of the cups easier.
