Hey everyone, it’s been a little over two weeks since launch. The feedback, support, ideas, and encouragement have been incredible. Thank you all for playing my game, sharing your thoughts, and leaving feedback and reviews.
I have some exciting news: I found an amazing pixel artist to work with. Diogo is going to be joining the team, and helping to build out the game. These first two weeks have been non-stop bug fixing and balancing, but as the most critical bugs are resolved, I’m able to get back to the fun stuff: content. New items, new levels, new enemies, new NPCs. With Diogo’s help, there will be a lot more of that in store. His first contribution…. the player can face up and down now when they run! Hallelujah!
Bugs
- Fixed damage values on Third Eye and Golden Fingernail
- The Bug Net can be traded to the Coward again
- Attempt to catch the “hangs-on-loading” bug

- Deep Freeze Amulet effect increased
- Reduced evasion on Coward’s Cloak

- All completed difficulties now continue to produce Crystals of Hope
- Cobra Bow power move now more properly aligns with its description
