Patch 2.0.4 Balancing and fixes!
Wish you a great weekend! Our weekly patch this time is about balancing and more bug fixing! We did some changes to the Torture Chamber (Mostly Refractured Mode) and the riddle with the ghosts in the sewers.
Our Issue tracker is public and can be found over at https://trello.com/b/yTckRnZ3/skellboy-issue-tracker. If you catch another bug not yet on our list we would be grateful to hear from you either on the Forum or our discord server.
Balancing/changes
- Torture Chamber: Slowed down some of the rotating spike towers in Refractured Mode
- Torture Chamber: Removed some Medusas
- Shockwave Damage (Gargoyles, Dark Skippy, Dark Torso, etc.) is now considered as damage coming from below, so the Ghost slippers will prevent damage from it
- Ghosts in the Sewers riddle will not react to the second player anymore so the gameplay is not affected by it.
- Balanced the Ghost riddle in the Sewers: Ghosts now move faster, have sounds, and are only catchable by the Bottle Head when truly cornered, to make the gameplay more reasonable for players
- All magic staffs now do
- *one Base Damage** (Root and Sugar staffs did 0 before)
- Statue boss will not remove torso and feet with his stomp attack anymore, but will cut off Skippy's head with the horizontal chop
- Decisions can only be accepted by the confirmation key and not with any input keys
Added
- Added special savestate border when in Refractured Mode
- Rotating spike towers now have another layer on top of them to communicate better that jumping above them is not advised
- Added clarification to the bat torso effect (Gaining health by dealing damage to enemies). Spanish translation will follow in a later patch!
