A sleepy new student has joined the fight, finally including at least one fighter from each dorm!

You can view the patch notes for all previous versions here!

Version 1.04.0

New Additions

  • A brand new fighter has been released! Briar-Rose is a difficult character to hit due to her low profile, and she specializes in counterattacks leading into high-damage combos!

    • Briar-Rose is only selectable in the full version of the game, not the free demo.

  • There is a brand new Arcade Mode route for Briar-Rose!

    • NOTE: Briar-Rose’s Arcade Mode route currently doesn’t have an ending cutscene, since her intended final boss opponent is a playable fighter that doesn’t exist yet! However, you can still unlock her Figurine and get more lore to pore over.

    • Briar-Rose’s Arcade Mode ending cutscene will, naturally, be updated once the fighter in question is added.

  • A new figurine was added to the Ink Shop.

  • Added a sixth costume for Dracula that can be unlocked in the Ink Shop.

  • A new achievement was added to the Stamps board that can unlock some free Ink. Don’t spend it all in one place!

  • Lullaby Triad now available as a music track for matches.

Bug Fixes

  • Solved an issue where certain projectiles would lag the game after being destroyed.

  • Fixed a visual bug where some characters’ animations would appear frozen during their recovery frames, causing them to appear to snap from a recovery pose back to their idle.

    • Dracula especially had frequent issues here.
