Thank you all for joining us on the Early Access launch. We have worked hard on this patch and will continue to do so on the forthcoming patches ahead. Later today we will also post our Roadmap, outlining our future plans.
New Content
- A new class, the Geomancer, can now be discovered and unlocked.

- Turn off animations of dead monsters.
- Added more variation to the shape of mini-bosses in The Loam Land.
- Increased the visibility of monster attacks slightly.
Player
- The dash is now able to dash into monsters. This can help you out when being completely cornered and should improve the flow in the game.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed that the dash could go to -1 charge at the beginning of a level.
- Fixed gamepad detection if connecting multiple gamepads, or using third-party gamepad software.
- Fixed a rare bug where you could get stuck at 0 HP and become immortal.
- Improved aiming when running and aiming in different directions, especially for spells with a longer cast time. We’re still working on one additional fix for gamepad aiming.
- Going to the balcony of Tower of Knowledge no longer incorrectly grants the hidden area achievement.
- The cooldown in the tooltip was wrong for some spells.
- Stop the player from dashing when exiting certain UIs with the gamepad back button.
- Fixed a special case where the player character got stuck in the cast animation.
- Increased the cooldown ongoing in/out of hidden areas and challenge rooms, to prevent accidental double clicks.
- Dead limbs could sometimes still apply poison or burning on touch.
- Changed the description of Pyromancer to match its bonuses. This is not a nerf, just a text fix.
- Fixed the legendary stat “+% Damage against burning enemies” which didn’t work.
