  • The player's HP bar will no longer be obscured by bullets or attacks, ensuring you can keep a close eye on your survival chances.
  • Introducing new HP bars for both Players and Bosses, adding to the intensity and clarity of each battle.
  • Added a bit of flashing to the homing bullets from the Georama midboss, making them stand out for a fair challenge.
  • Backgrounds with the type of damage have been added to forge bullets, making your strategic choices even clearer.

• Steam Deck Optimizations:
  • Increased the size of some menu texts and in-game texts to improve readability on the Steam Deck, making your play sessions seamless and more enjoyable.

• Performance and Efficiency:
  • Improved efficiency on certain non-interactive objects and reduced all game graphics to a single texture atlas to enhance performance across the board.

• Gameplay Adjustments:
  • When gaining Max-HPs from the Knight class or a character Perk, you are now healed for the same amount, giving you that much-needed boost in the heat of battle.
  • The HP bar has been adjusted to appear above most effects, and the Archetype unlocked window will now correctly display the close button.
  • Balanced how certain Archetype Forms calculate damage for a fairer fight.
  • Homing Boss bullets will now show above everything else, ensuring you see what's coming.

• Quality of Life Fixes:
  • Corrected the message displayed at the first click on the Form change in the Modify menu of the Forge.
  • Fixed a rogue blood splat in the last Lampyridiae levels that always appeared vertically.
  • Using the 'Refund Last' button in the Upgrade menu will now correctly refresh the availability of other upgrades.

• Localization Improvements:
  • Thanks to our incredible JP, we've improved some Russian translations, making Nerd Survivors more accessible to our global player base.
