Catacrypt Playtest · published · build 25159558
Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback in the form of bug reports, data from playing, or even videos. It has been so helpful, and most of that has now been condensed into this patch. This might be the last one for a while, as I am hoping to release the Demo by the end of this month with the first one or two bosses and more content.
New:
Added the QOL ability to break barrels by running into them and jumping on top of them.
Added a new inventory feature: when hovering over an item, pressing [ALT] or [LSHIFT+ALT] now trashes the item.
Changes:
Changed the interact text on the Main Menu from "[E] Use" to "Talk To [Old Man]" if the tutorial was not complete.
Sludge's contact attack now has a longer cooldown before hitting the player again.
Changed the interact text on chests from "{amount} Gold" to "{amount} Coins" as gold is a separate item.
Ghosts now have faster base speed from 3.5 --> 3.75, and that new number now scales with the player's dexterity.
Enemies now spawn with random rotations instead of all facing north.
Changed the Old Man's tutorial text to now specify that upgrades are passive.
Adjusted the dialogue UI.
Changed the description of the Health Rune upgrade to say "Max Health" instead of "Health."

Bugs:
Fixed a bug where, on some runs, enemies would not attack or target the player in offline mode.
Fixed a bug where, on dying in a menu and returning as a ghost, the cursor would be left on-screen.
Fixed a bug where, on self-revive, you would use your class ability sharing the same keybind as the revive.
Fixed a bug where arrow explosions would only deal damage to nearby enemies; it now increases damage on the hit target as well.
