Ahoy, mateys!
Version 1.6.4 is out, adding a quintessential pirate game mechanic: hidden treasure maps. The maps generate a treasure randomly on the level. Compare the minimap and the treasure map carefully, and use the new Shovel consumable to dig up the loot.
Additional features:
- New two-handed weapon: Anchor . It has a powerful charged attack with 30% Perfect shot damage bonus.
It also has 2 unique spell variants: the Ground Slam instead of Slam, and Faultline instead of Drunken Surge.
- 3 spells and a perk have been added around the new Corpse Explosion game mechanic.
- New perk : Painful Greed . May have good synergies with violins and gold drop stat.
- New spell for bottles: Summon Rum Elemental . The elementals have a limited duration, but you can extend it with a fiddle.
- Iridescent Sockets were not dropping due to a typo. Also, for better readability, Iridescent runes are now much brighter.
- New randomized tilesets have been added and some old ones have been revamped for Treasure Hunt mode. The total number is now 20.
New fire resistant variant for the Husk: Crispy Dead
- Interaction with the Mountain Giant updated.
- To avoid confusion with the Treasure Map X , the secret boss area has a new look.
- The visuals of the Harass spell have been revamped.

That's all for today. It's not as much as it seems, I'm just writing more detailed changelogs as time goes on. The next major update, 1.6.5 should continue the story. As always, bug reports and feedback are appreciated. Until then, smooth sailing!
