Patch Notes: HUD Overhaul, 5 New Upgrades & Crash Fixes

Hello Hunters!

Thank you to everyone for playing and leaving your feedback! We’ve been listening closely to your reports and reviews, and today we’re rolling out an update that significantly improves the in-game UI, adds much-needed variety to your level-up choices, and squashes some nasty crashes.

UI / Quality of Life:

  • HUD Resized: We heard your feedback that the top UI was way too big and blocked a large portion of the screen. We have completely overhauled and shrunk the top HUD (Health Bar, XP Bar, Timer, and Badge slots) to free up roughly 15% more screen space! You'll have much better visibility during fights now.

New Content (Upgrades):
We’ve injected some serious variety into the Level Up pool so every run feels more unique. 5 brand-new upgrades have been added to the game:

  • Heavy Lightshot: Increases the knockback force of your shots, giving you more breathing room.
  • Critical Hit: Grants a chance for your attacks to deal double damage.
  • Piercing Light: Your shots can now pierce through multiple enemies.
  • Experienced Hunter: Increases the amount of XP you gain from every gem collected.
  • Thorn Aura: Surrounds you with a protective, damaging aura that continuously hurts nearby enemies.


*(Note: Your active upgrades are still capped at 7 slots, so choose your build wisely!)*

Bug & Crash Fixes:

  • Fatal Physics Crash: Fixed an extremely frustrating issue where the game would suddenly freeze and crash to desktop during intense combat. This was caused by an engine bug triggering when enemies or projectiles were destroyed at the exact millisecond of a complex collision.
  • Level Up Crash: Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash immediately after selecting a perk.

Thank you so much to the players who shared their crash logs—they were vital to getting these hotfixes out. As always, let us know what you think of the new upgrades, and happy hunting!
