Demo Update

Our demo has now been live for a week and we're ready to make a few balance changes and 1 major bug fix. Our aim with this patch was to generally make the game a bit more forgiving by tuning various numbers. Post Next Fest, we'll start doing larger system changes, visual/readability improvements, and some QoL systems like i-frames when you get hit.

Thanks for playing the demo and sharing your feedback with us!

Balance Changes:

• The player's hit box is now 10px (previously 11px). We're hoping to make it a bit easier to thread the needle and pull off a perfect dodge.
• On Level 1, enemies will now always spawn 3 seconds after the round starts. Previously there was an 8 second delay on your first round only, and then they would spawn right away. We felt this was too punishing and wanted to make Level 1 a bit more forgiving while you learn to play.
• Level 2 and Level 3 now have a 1 second delay before enemies spawn. We wanted to give you a few moments to move around before the chaos begins.
• Enemies now always wait 1 second after spawning before they shoot. Previously this was random between 0 and their base cooldown, which ended up feeling a bit too unpredictable and would be very frustrating when it was less than 1 second.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where colliding with enemies would deal 10 damage instead of the intended 1. This would result in round-ending moments and made the game way too punishing!
