Quality Of Life Update v1.01 + 35% Off Winter Sale!
Merry Christmas, everyone! This holiday season we went ahead and added some more player requested 'quality of life' improvements. Now when you log in you'll be able to see your own personal scoreboard in case you weren't able to land inside the top 20. We also added a buffer zone when selecting Perks that will give you some extra breathing room before selecting the next glyph. Along with some minor bug fixes, we also made Hardcore mode even harder by removing the ability to heal yourself when clearing the board. Why? Because you asked for it! Thank you, one and all, and to all a good night!

v1.0 Now Available! Hardcore Update
Fare thee well, Early Access!

For this major content update we added a brand new Hardcore mode that will unlock if you manage to complete the main game. We also cleaned up a swarm of new bugs that seemingly popped up out of nowhere. We understand that even more bugs are likely to spring up, so if you come across anything while playing please visit the forums and let us know. We will do our best to patch things up as soon as we can. Early Access has been very helpful to us, and we are very grateful for all the help and support from our community. We can't wait to start working on other projects and sharing new progress with everyone.

Pre-Launch Update v0.07
This small update cleans up some late stage bugs, fixes some animations and introduces an updated tutorial and ending sequence. We don't have an exact date or time planned, so we will more then likely just spontaneously hit the launch button at some point. As always, thanks for all the support on our journey through Early Access. See you guys on the other side!

Toggler Update v0.06
This small update adds some community requested effect togglers to tone down the distracting visual effects, and let you soak in all the pixel artwork. We've also fixed some bugs that would cause the game to crash during menu sequences. There isn't much left to do now, so if you are having any problems please post them on our forums so we can address them asap. Thanks for all the support, and check out our new reaction trailer from TinyTata on Twitch:

Difficulty Update v0.05
This small update increases the overall difficulty of the game. Apparently you guys are too good! Sorry, we can't tell you exactly how we made it more difficult, that wouldn't be very fun then would it? Good luck!

Endgame Update v0.04
XANARTHRAXIA's fourth and final Endgame Update is now live. The game is (mostly) complete! To actually reach the unforgiving endgame you'll have to decide what is more important: time or money? To reach the top of the Leaderboards? Or to reach the end of the game? Only the most determined warriors will be able to survive until the end.

Full Change Log:

- Added visual improvements to the endgame scenario.
- Added larger hit boxes for perk selection.
- Fixed a bug that would cause the timer to count down during perk selection.
- Fixed a bug that would keep level up effects during pause.
- Fixed a bug where you could kill yourself during perk selection.
- Fixed a bug that would prevent animations from playing after victory.
- Fixed a bug that would autoplay the game during perk selection.
- Fixed an bug that would autoplay the game during pause.
- Fixed a bug where the timer wouldn't reset during pause.
- Fixed a bug where you could kill yourself during map change.

We understand there are still lots of cool features we could add, but we never intended the project to be anything more then just a fun little clicker game. As developers, we want to keep the creative juices flowing, so we will be moving forward with other projects for the time being. At some point we may return and expand on the games mechanics and possibly take the game in all new directions for a sequel.

We will still be here to patch up any bugs that will undoubtedly arise, or anything we may have missed due to tunnel vision. Thanks for all the positive support, and we look forward to releasing a full version soon!

Boss Update v.0.03
XANARTHRAXIA's third content update is now live. For this (probably) final update, we switched up the difficulty variables and added an endgame situation with a rather difficult end boss. You'll notice we've also added a whole bunch of new sound effects and a brand new set of glyphs to keep things interesting. This will probably be the last major content update before we release a full version, but we will continue to patch out bugs as needed. Unless there is a long line of players requesting new things, we will be moving on to other projects we have waiting in the sidelines. Let us know if there is anything vital we are missing before we decide to launch.

Congratulations to user 'Gwynbleid' who is our new top spot on the Leaderboard this month. As always, we would like to thank the community, and we look forward to hearing comments from you guys!

Perk Update v0.02
XANARTHRAXIA's second content update is now live. In this update we've added a brand new Perk mechanic that grants you stackable bonuses when leveling up. Other community requested ideas have also been added, such as a coin multiplier, a 'save upon quit' feature, an armor system, and a new set of glyphs to mix things up. We tried to squash as many bugs with this new perk system as we could but it isn't perfect quite yet. Keep in mind that the new perks only pertain to your current run, and do not carry over when you die.
