The Struggle of Combat
Small update (v1.032)
-Added 1 reroll for shop after using metro
-Fixed "Did you know that melee attacks can deflect bullets?" not being fully displayed in speech bubble
-Reduced time for first picture of ending animation
Price permanently reduced!
There had been price differential between Itch.io version and Steam version. This felt unfair for Steam users, so i have decided to reduce price of The Struggle of Combat. Also lot of other similar games have been selling for cheaper, so i thought this might be more fair price. Price might go up for some currencies, since recommended prices have also changed.
New update is still in progress, but i have done most of the work for new zones, so it shouldn't take too long. Currently working on new mini bosses.
Achievement update (v1.031)
-16 new achievements added
-Some of the old achievement icons reworked
-Added new ability icon for super slash (Second part of grappling hook)
-Item drops that spawn inside side walls now move torwards center (Items would end up floating up the walls so players couldnt reach them)
*Hotfix:
-Fixed incorrect treasure chest description
-Fixed prison shop not having guaranteed weapon during loops
-Fixed mutants sometimes getting stuck jumping

Small update (v1.027)

-adjusted aiming with gamepad
-fixed "Press 'A' to reroll" text not being visible with some languages
-fixed possible freeze with rats (was really rare)
-fixed cyborg's shield amount
Controller Update
There is 2 aim modes available. Free aim mode that works similiar to mouse and locked mode where crosshair spins around player at fixed distance. Aim speed can be changed from control options to suit you preference. Selecting shop items will work sligly differently to keyboard controls. Instead of hovering with mouse, description will open soon as you stand under it.
Game wasn't originally planned for gamepad controls, so there are some things that might not work perfectly. Some things will require using free aim mode, such as selecting difficulty switches or opening weapon description.
-Added Gamepad controls
-Added Keyboard & Gamepad tabs to control options
-Fixed incorrect information in bullet upgrade descriptions
-Fixed watergun having more ammo than intended in first clip
-Fixed "Language" text in language options not being visible with some languages selected
Note: If controller is not responding, you may have to disable controller from Steam's Big Picture Mode
Big Picture Mode > Controller Settings > disable configuration support for you controller
