Hey Fools! Developer Dan here, bringing you details about this new Ship of Fools update releasing the highly anticipated endless mode along with a plethora of balance adjustments and bug fixes.
Since the game's launch, the community has eagerly requested an endless mode, allowing a successful run to continue indefinitely. So we did it! From now on, upon winning any run, you'll have the option to embark on an Endless Mode adventure, retaining your current equipment and starting anew from The Forgotten Waters.
But beware! Each time you enter a new loop, enemies receive a substantial power boost. This added challenge compounds with the modifiers provided by The Lighthouse brightness levels.
Hold on a moment... Are we suggesting that it's now feasible to duplicate any item at the High Sea’s fountain on each loop? This would theoretically allow for an infinite number of identical trinkets to be equipped simultaneously, right?
YES.
Let the crazy builds go wild and shall the fun remain endless!
v1.4.0 patch notes
New features:
- Endless mode added
Balance changes:
- Reduce owlet movement speed when charging the boat before exploding
- Increase paper plane ammunition homing force and damage
Fools balance changes:
- Quill: Missing a shot only removes 2 stacks instead of all of them. Sentry gun not hitting enemies does not count as a miss. We felt that her ability was too punishing, making her almost unplayable in certain situations. Now Quill is a strong pick while still requiring some good aiming!
- Betty: Initiate rage mode when getting hit by a regular paddle attack from another player instead of only initiating from a heavy hit. This allows for the other player to continuously initiate Betty’s rage mode while she remains shooting!
- Finley: Rework reward pool from repairs. Now when repairing, Finley has a chance of spawning:
- Regular resource: 60%
- Basic chest: 25%
- Ancient chest containing an item: 5%
Miscellaneous:
- Prevent sentry cannons from shooting an enemy with an active deflection bubble
- Barnaby and Jules ability now remove the generated item from the pool of obtainable items to make sure those items are not generated again in the same run
- Replace Mama Gull inventory image
- Replace Yoyo trinket activation keyword from “damage” to “accuracy”
- Something special added to the main menu…
Bug Fixes:
- Fix plank bundle given by the siren in The Edge cave sometimes falling in the water
- Fix achievements for completing a run not being shared with the client in an online game
- Fix some special chest encounters ending too soon
- Fix siren ship misplaced hole making it hard to repair
- Fix enemies looping sound never stopped in certain situations
- Fix projectile attack ground target sometimes not being deactivated
- Fix item transfering when switching fools not working properly as the client in an online game
- Fix paddle reach bonuses given not applied to the client in an online game
- Fix homing projectiles not being able to hit enemies that are very close to the water level
- Fix Mama Gull projectiles not hitting some boss parts
