| Map Tweaks 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.20 New · The overworld runs on a fixed rhythm: two rows of battles, then a row that is POIs end to end. Every route crosses all three. · A POI row is dealt from a bag of its six kinds rather than rolled independently, so a row is a spread of choices and the same lane won't offer the same stop twice running. · Battle-start tutorial hints for Defend (your second battle) and… | 25177357 | |
| More Abilities 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.19 New · Red Horizon — a new Warrior ability. Marks an entire row and sweeps it on your next turn, with a combo that climbs steeply the longer the chain runs. · Season — a new Cook ability. Marks a tile for 1.5x damage for the rest of the round and 1.15x through the next. On food or gold it doubles the value instead, and cast as a chain link it keeps the chain alive as if… | 25139815 | |
| Crash Fix Targeting a multi-tile square could cause a driver issue in the GPU due to a bad division. Now it should be smooth sailing! | — | |
| Terrain Fix 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.17 Fixed · The world map draws its terrain again — biomes, seas and roads were invisible in the v0.6.16 Steam build · A rare crash when quitting the game · A latent crash when an Archer , Spit Fish or Noxious Weed fires a projectile on a crowded board | — | |

| Battle Reactions 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.15 New · Battle reaction system — your party reacts to what happens around them: the warrior praises a big kill, the thief flinches and rattles, each with its own symbol popping over their head · The weaver and the chaos witch have their real dialogue written; the weaver now names the Road and Fate · Choosing a character happens on the board — swaps and chain/counter promp… | — | |
| Slimes Coming Together 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.14 New · Slimes now have a size ladder — Slimeling , Slime , Slimer and the Slime Queen . They prefer merging with a same-size neighbour over attacking, and a killing blow splits them into two of the rung below instead of finishing them. · Shove two same-size slimes into each other and they fuse on impact — no slam damage, no stun. · Shove a slime into anything that isn't… | — | |
| Smooth Operator 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.13 New · Boss rooms and campfires now get their own stage looks, with per-stage camera framing · Smoother texture sampling by default, with per-texture control Changed · Stages and music load in the background instead of freezing the game, and textures upload to the card over several frames · The slow-mo chain window is far smoother — it captures the screen once instead of… | — | |
| New Battlefield 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.12 New · Battles are staged in a real place now: true ground receding to the horizon, lit paving with cast shadows, depth haze, tree lines and ruined set dressing (colonnades, walls, stairs, rubble) — across every biome and dungeon room · Battlefield dressing varies per battle: pillars and stairs come and go between rooms, grass grows out of the mortar seams · Battles open… | — | |
| Three Sisters 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.11 New · Fair , a new NPC who comments on how your battles went at the tally screen. She keeps her name to herself for now — and holds her tongue through your opening fights before pacing herself after that. · The three sisters now reveal themselves in stages, each stage deciding the name and portrait she's attributed with: the tarot reader becomes The Weaver , then Fate ;… | — | |
| Shop's Open! 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.10 New · A Shop has opened on the overworld, run by the Chaos Witch at her card table — buy food to heal the whole party, a Dungeon Map that reveals floor plans party-wide, or Fate's Bane · Fate's Bane — a stackable die that re-deals a Trainer or Gem Forge offer via a new Shuffle button, guaranteed to show you something different · Everything your party holds now shows in… | — | |
| More Fate, More Cards 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.9 New · The Tarot Reader now speaks to the salient moments of your story at the start of a run — bosses you've beaten, bosses that beat you, heroes you've pulled from the rift · New tarot reader dialogue beats during character select and at the recruit rift · All new dialogue is written in both English and Japanese Changed · The recruit rift now runs the full character-sel… | — | |
| Minor Shuffle 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.8 New · Character select now deals each hero's ability deck onto the table, shuffles it, and reveals your starting cards — making it clear your starting abilities are random · Hover any ability card on character select for a tooltip explaining what it does · Locked heroes and abilities now appear as silhouettes so you can see what's left to unlock · The overworld map beyon… | — | |

| Rising Pressure 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.5 New · Pressure Cooker — a new Cook ability that plants a pot in the enemy area. Re-cast it to crank the pressure a stage: it rattles harder, steams more often, and bursts for 10/25/50 fire damage on every adjacent enemy when destroyed. Maxed out, the ability locks off until the pot is gone · Rallies and party knockouts are tracked as post-battle stats, with new banter fo… | — | |
| Chaos Witch 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.4 New · The Chaos Witch — a rare stop who deals one hero's abilities again, as many as they walked in with, drawn from their class pool and locked in one slot at a time. Irreversible, and she only does it once. · The sea is in the run: coastal bays open into the map's edges and turn the lanes they touch into beach, so a route can run along the shore instead of being closed… | — | |
| Couch Co-op 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.3 New · Local co-op — pick Co-Op Run from the main menu and play a run on one screen. Every player claims a seat by pressing a button, picks their own character, and moves a seat-colored cursor; in battle your seat color marks the goblin you're commanding and control passes automatically as turns, chains and swaps hand off. Anyone can answer a counter window. Co-op runs se… | — | |
| Dungeon Exploration 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.2 New · The Dungeon Explorer now brings a full kit: Backstab , Pickpocket and Compass every time, plus either Dowse or Cower in the fourth slot · Dowse probes a tile for a hidden chest — every tile answers at once, OK where the chest could still be, NO where this probe just ruled it out · Pickpocket lifts a purse off an enemy, dropping tiered gold nearby · Compass reveals… | — | |

| Topple to... Tower? 💽 Patch Notes — v0.6.0 New · The overworld is now a branching node graph. Each act is a lattice of forward-only routes — every step is a choice between a battle, an elite, a recruit, a forge or a trainer, with a few rows visible ahead before you commit. · Battles run as waves: the board clears 2-5 times before a single shared payout. · Waves keep the board — props, hazards, dropped loot and yo… | — | |
| Minor Telemetry Fixes Just some clean up on telemetry! | — | |
| Telemetry Update Patch Notes — v0.5.12 New · The game can now record anonymous play data — which abilities you use, how long fights take, where runs end — so pacing and balance get tuned from real play · You're asked once, on first launch. Nothing is recorded until you answer, and declining records nothing at all · Change your mind any time from Allow telemetry in the menu Fixed · Menu and card text sat slightl… | — | |
| Random Ability Reshuffle Patch Notes — v0.5.11 New · Telegraphed attacks — a new kind of ability that winds up on one turn and lands on the next, marking the tiles it is coming for so everyone can see it arrive · Falling Mountain (Wrestler) — telegraph a tile, crash down on it next turn, and open a chain window as the strike lands · Piercing Shot (Archer) — spend a turn aiming down a column; the arrow flies at the star… | — | |
