Patch 1.0.1: Heal Rework, Pack Fixes, Ability Tooltips and More

Monster Movie Mayhem · published · build 26360341

Thank you to everyone who played Monster Movie Mayhem in its first days and sent feedback. This first patch comes straight from your reports.

Balance

Heal is now free
Heal no longer costs Monster Power, so remembering to use it always pays off. To balance that, it recharges more slowly.

  • Cost: 30 Power → free
  • Healing: still 25% of max HP
  • Cooldown, Easy to Hard: 6s → 15s
  • Cooldown, Hard ×2 and ×4: 9s → 22.5s

Hungry Monster reduced
Buildings fall fast enough that this perk could make you close to unkillable.

  • Healing per building razed: 2% → 1% per level (6% → 3% at max level)

Endless ticket payout capped
A single long Endless run could pay enough to unlock everything at once.

  • One Endless run now pays up to 2,500 tickets, plus any ticket bonus from your cards
  • Tickets you've already earned are yours to keep

Packs skip cards you've finished

  • Packs no longer give a card that's at max level, or that already has enough copies saved to get there
  • Once your collection is complete, the pack shows ALL OWNED and can't be bought, so you can't waste tickets

New

Ability tooltips
Hover over any ability on the bar with your mouse to see its name and what it does, written for each monster.

Play Unfocused
The game now keeps running when you click onto another window or monitor. If you'd rather it stopped and paused the way it used to, turn off the new PLAY UNFOCUSED option in Settings. The game no longer pauses itself when you click away, so pause first if you're stepping away.

Fixes

Pack cards outside the panel
On screens that aren't 16:9, such as 16:10 monitors, the cards slid out of the pack panel and Collect drifted off-centre. Everything now stays centred, and the cards fit inside the panel.

Settings buttons ignored the mouse
On the home screen's Settings page, only Enter or a controller could change the volume, Mute, display, Screen Shake and Rumble options. Clicking them now works.

Menu tidy-up

  • Evolutions and Leaderboards titles now sit properly inside their buttons
  • The + and − volume symbols are centred on their keys
  • Buy and Done text is centred and fits its button
  • The equipped card stays inside its frame, and the card grid no longer touches the panel's rim
