KRAMPUS + PHYSICS UPDATE

major update

Die For The Lich · build 21245227 · published

On SteamNotes only · this build shipped before we watched the app

Holidays are around the corner and with that we bring Krampus to Die for the Lich as a boss fight!

What's new in v0.9?

Krampus will sometimes greet you at the gates of the church instead of Ankou alongside his trusted stags. His battle revolves around the dice freeze mechanic and clever thinking.

New dice (and trinkets) physics are here! We teased these two weeks ago on twitter. It was something we wanted to do since we were on Newgrounds and finally had the time do it!

We have 3 new dice and 2 new trinkets added to the game. But before you play with them you'll have to unlock them.

Most updates we include new weapons and this one is not any different.

We added 4 new unlockable weapons with one being a weapon from another indie game.

In my opinion leveling up is one of the most crucial parts of the game, a new ability can make or break your run. In this update we're introducing 3 new unlockable abilities! We have also touched up the Ghost Mask to make it a bit more competitive.

There are also 13 new achievements!
A few returning achievements from both the Newgrounds and Steam demos. Achievements are one of our favorite things to add since there are almost endless ideas for them. We just try and focus on picking the most fair and challenging ones.

The game now also comes with a lot more "juice". Chests opening, hitting criticals and monster have never felt this good. We strive to make this game feel good even whenever you do something as mundane as throwing a die

Also shout out to Headless for adding Undertaker and Dante to Underboard.

You can play the demo now and see familiar faces from other indie games as well. Yes, our new weapon is straight ripped from their game and it might be our favorite one so far.
