This one's been a long time coming. The final boss difficulty tweak.
Changes:
The monster spawn rate and laser beam freqency now scale more evenly as the fight progresses during the final battle.
The laser beam during the final battle's damage has been reduced.
Monster health has been slightly reduced in higher difficulties.
Notes:
The last boss is intended to be considerably more difficult than anything you have faced up to that point so this doesn't mean it's easy now but it has been a common complaint just how difficult it is. Especially on higher difficulties. It may still require some more tweaking though.
Nothing major this time. Just some adjustments to the analog control. Changes: Increased the analog threshold slightly. Since you can only move in 4 directions the lower threshold made it a bit too easy to move the wrong way. Bug Fixes: It is no longer possible for the analog to

Washing down an inadequate course of ibuprofen this week: artificial mortality, shotgun-based exploration, and zero gravity monster-dodging.

Vertical moving teleporters would sometimes touch you and not move you to the destination.
Certain enemies that were supposed to repawn were not doing so until you quit the game or died.
The second player was getting stuck in the door when you entered a room sometimes.

Fixed an issue with background skeletons under the floor in level 10 becoming stuck.
Removed the timer that always read 0 on the game over screen in hardcore mode. The hardcore timer was scrapped a long time ago and I forgot about this part.

The images in the book about health and ammo boxes have been increased in size.

A few npcs kept displaying text when attacking you.
The barrier generator lasted longer on player 1 than player 2 when used.
Unstable wave shell drops no longer destroy crystals on pickup.
