Major Update #2 - The Poison Update

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello Everyone!

Major Update #2 has just gone live!

We spent a lot of time debating the idea of adding some horizontal progression as well and we decided to just do it!

The new level included in this update is called: Level 2B - The Toxic Mire, it can be played once you complete level 1.
It contains 4 new enemies and a new boss. This level is a valid route to level 3 just like level 2A - The Forgotten Dungeon(Previously Level 2)

We also had a lot of requests for a stat overview and decided to put this into a character tab. The Character tab also allows you to select other skins for your character. Some of these skins are unlocked by default and some you have to unlock.

We also have a new mechanic: Poisonous enemies & poison. When the mechanic is unlocked there will be a chance for poisonous enemies to spawn. These enemies will spread poison to other enemies upon killing them. Poison will do damage over time, slow enemies and with some upgrades, even amplify damage from other sources.

We also spent some time in bugfixing and doing some minor improvements like updating some upgrade descriptions and adding minor visual changes here and there.

Tldr summary below

- Level 2B - The Toxic Mire | 4 new enemies and a new boss
- The Character Tab | Skin selection & Stat overview
- Poison Mechanic | New poison Upgrades & Poisonous enemy type
- Bug fixes and minor improvements

We hope you have a great time with the new update!
