Hey everyone! Time for another patch :)
Thank you all for continuing to play and support Slimekeep! This patch includes a bunch of bug fixes, polish, quality-of-life improvements, and a few balance tweaks based on your feedback.
As always, please report any bugs or issues on the Discord:
https://discord.gg/VR5NY295YP
Here are the changes I have made over the past few days:
Balance Changes
- Double Trouble pet upgrade now has a 50% chance to capture an extra slime (was 100%)
- Reward chests are now less likely to drop weapons, and it's rarer for them to drop 2 items at once
- Reduced all weapon ammos by 25-50%, most of them just had too much imo, making ammo drops feel unnecessary
- Removed one chest room from Day 2 to slightly delay the early powerspike
- Slightly nerfed the Slime King crown attack, it was a bit too tricky to dodge
- Boss chests now drop health and either a weapon OR an upgrade, not both
Bug Fixes & Improvements
