All news Players around this date Read on Steam

It's been a week since launch and I couldn't be happier with the response from everyone who's been enjoying the game! We're at 93% positive reviews on steam, and it warms my heart to know that so many are enjoying my little game.

Especially useful has been the great feedback everyone is putting into the discussion boards and reviews. It's helped me track down not just bugs and balance issues, but also bring to light some overlooked UX issues like controllers not being able to scroll the text-based stats areas.

This update has taken a little longer than my usual cadence, because I wanted to be sure everything got a thorough test now that the game is launched, and I wanted to get in as much as possible to address all the feedback.

Finally a shout-out to QuestLion in the steam discussion groups, for auditing my Russian translations! I'm going to be making another pass on some of the other languages as well. I've got a few of QuestLion's suggestions already in place, but more will be coming as they work through the keys.

Full change list:

Gameplay and Balance

Added a new exit tutorial that appears when the level exit is unlocked and nearby.
Keys now avoid spawning too close to doors.
Doors now check for a clear path before opening, preventing doors from opening through walls.
Mimics can now be eaten.
Limited repeated enemy self-buffs to prevent runaway scaling with the Armored Warriors.
Fixed an issue with lifesteal and snack perk healing so they use actual damage dealt.
Reduced extreme screen shake from very large hits.
Adjusted an achievement requirement and improved ascension achievement credit for previously completed milestones.

Level Flow

After completing a level, players can now choose between managing their build or skipping directly to the next level.
Updated map back-button text to better reflect whether it returns to management or a store.

Controller and UI Polish

Improved controller and keyboard scrolling across the Compendium, store, end screen, leaderboard, and intro gift screens.
Disabled resolution selection while fullscreen is enabled.
Improved intro gift flow with clearer prompt text and slightly faster writing speed.
Polished end-screen score styling and several localized UI strings.

My general rule is that if one person mentions something I consider it, but if 2 or more mention it I take it very seriously.
