Meowdy, fellow pilots! Version 0.72.1 is live, and we’ve made some substantial changes to map progression and balancing while also finding time to add some additional items.
Map Updates
Let’s start from the top. We got a lot of feedback asking for more substantial options along the map pathways.
Our amazing mechanic Petey has now added a significant number of additions to his shop. Now, when you visit one of his nodes you can have some of these options appear;
- Max upgrade: either an item you currently own or a random unowned one
- Max upgrade your Primary or Secondary Weapon
- Unlock revive or rerolls for your current run
- Unlock a new Primary Weapon
New Weapons
After maxing out your Primary Weapon level in a run, the next time you meet Petey, he’ll offer one of 3 new weapons. You can also level these up even further during a run!
Cursed Choices
We know that when Cursed Choices came out, we got a lot of mixed feedback, but it was clear that changes were needed. We continued to tweak and work on them update after update, listening to feedback along the way. With this update, we are excited to announce another change to help Cursed Choices feel significantly more exciting.
Now, each curse lasts a set number of rounds and offers a new item in exchange for picking them that last for the duration of your run. These items range from powerful augments to items that the Swarm can drop when defeated.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a handful of issues, most notably some related to Tight Boosts.
