New Difficulty System

The difficulty system has been completely changed. Instead of Easy, Medium, and Hard, the base difficulty now starts at 1 and can be increased as far as you can go.

Completing a map on difficulty 3 unlocks difficulty 4. Enemies become stronger with each difficulty level.

Difficulty Leaderboard

Added a leaderboard showing the highest difficulty level each player has completed on a map.

New Ability Shop

The old ability upgrade and unlock system has been removed. Abilities can now be purchased from the shop using Coins.

Coins drop from Golden Frogs, which appear every 2 minutes on all maps.

Due to the new system, ability unlock progress has been reset.

What's Next

The shop system will continue to be improved, with new abilities being added regularly.

Game update8 Sep 2026⚔️ Arsenal and New StatsIn this update, I added a new synergy called “Arsenal” for melee weapons. ⚔️ Arsenal provides 10%–25% Cooldown Reduction for all of the player's abilities. This is the first synergy that modifies a global character stat. Because of this, its effect applies not only to abilities with the Arsenal synergy, but also to all other equipped abilities. 📊 New Character Stats Added new character stats:…Game update3 Sep 2026New Weapons and Positional AttacksIn this update, I added four new weapons: Dagger, Sword, Axe, and Lance. I also changed how weapons positioned in orbit around the character target enemies. Each weapon now measures the distance to enemies from its own position, rather than from the player's position. This means a weapon on the left side will more often attack enemies on the left, while a weapon on the right will target enemies…Game update30 Aug 2026More Enemies — New WeaponsIn this update, I continued reworking the attack system. 🧊 Icicle now fires from the staff on the player's belt. 🔥 Fire Shuriken also now uses the staff on the player's belt. I also significantly increased the number of enemies — there are now 3× more enemies, but they have 2× less health. This makes the battles more intense, while attacks feel more effective against large groups of enemies.
