0.19.000 brings BOSS RUSH, SURVIVAL MODE, and other important mechanics!
Hey there everyone!
This update brings 2 new game modes, toggled sprinting, new menu designs and animations, and a ton of bug fixes!
BOSS RUSH is a mode where you face off against endless waves of bosses. Select a boss to begin with (harder bosses will start you off with more weapons), and see how many you can beat in a row before dying!
SURVIVAL MODE is a mode where you pick a starting Multiverse (again, just like with BOSS RUSH, the harder the Multiverse you choose, the more weapons you start off with), and fight against endless waves of enemies on that Multiverse alone, with each wave increasing in difficulty!
Sprinting is now a toggled mechanic, with the default of it being toggled ON. This decision was made due to the fact that players were nearly always sprinting, only ever wanting to walk during select times during gameplay.
Those are the major things! As always, be sure to report any bugs or balancing issues, and we will get on fixing it right away!
See you in the Multiverse!
New Additions (4):
UI (1) -Added icons to display if sprint is toggled on or off
Mechanics (1) -Boss health is now dynamic. The more overpowered a player is, the more a boss will adjust its health to compensate
Other (2) -Added BOSS RUSH game mode! Pick a starting boss, get a certain number of weapons based off the initial pick, and fight bosses endlessly. Score is based on number of bosses beat rather than points
-Added SURVIVAL MODE! Pick a multiverse, and try to survive for as long as you can against endless waves of enemies! Guns and pills replenish every 5 waves. Score is based on number of waves completed rather than points

Hey there guys! Really excited to bring this update, as it contains the rest of the Medium Tier and Hard Tier bosses, the rest of the Hard Tier levels, and POLY RAISER, the very final boss! This means that the main gamemode, "SAVE THE MULTIVERSE" is now complete and beatable, with a sweet reward each time you do so.
All that's left now before the final polishing stages are a few more weapons and enemies, the rest of the cheats, as well as the 3 other gamemodes.
As always, be sure to let us know of all bugs or issues you may run into, as well as the difficulty scale of the new bosses.
See you in the Multiverse!
