Hello everyone,
Below are the patch notes for this update! The next update will likely be the last content-focused update, as the game is approaching its 1.0 update (though I am still planning to update the game further after its full release!). Stay tuned!
Thanks for playing,

v0.93 Patch notes
Note: Quicksaves will likely not be compatible with this update, so finish any unfinished runs first!
New Additions and Changes
- Overhauled the Challenge Options mechanic (now named Challenge Level). Each Challenge Level adds 1 difficulty modifier to your run. Upon finishing a run, rewards for that level will be unlocked, and the next level will be available. All difficulty modifiers have been re-balanced and are generally less punishing. New difficulty modifiers are designed to encourage more decision-making by the player, rather than simply increasing enemy stats and drawing out battles. Currently, 5 Challenge Levels are implemented (5 more planned!)
- Each active Challenge Level gives +5% EXP bonus
- More details of each level:
- Lvl 1: Damaging statuses deal +1 damage on you (down from +2 damage)
- Lvl 2: Traps are slightly more common and can occasionally obstruct paths (0-2 traps more for floor < 6, 1-3 for floor 6+) (15% to obstruct path, one per floor, always revealed)
- Lvl 3: Gain a random non-damaging debuff on floor start (debuffs are now less severe and last shorter)
- Lvl 4: Shop prices are higher
- Lvl 5: At the start of boss battles, remove one random buff on you (down from two random buffs)

- New Player Upgrade: Shop Chests
