We're back! And we're rollin' up to the moon in the 5.2.0 update. We're introducing a few hype things: A totally redone Tavern, re-rolling of all equipment via Oyun's Rerolling Cauldron, a new tier of items we're calling 'Special', and an entirely new dungeon called the 'Alien Outpost' that is available via a new mini-boss named SPECIAL AGENT.
We've also got some exciting news for the future!
Update: 5.2.0
Release Date: 7/26/2024
tl;dr: New developer, item rerolling, new dungeon, entirely remade Tavern, new tier of equipment, fixes, new mobile options, and more!
Major Changes
New Developer
We've got some exciting news to share! We'll soon be adding a new developer to the team. We're not ready to reveal who they are but we're excited to see what they're able to do! We'll be having them focus on bug fixing and quality of life improvements for the first few weeks as they learn the codebase.
Future Updates
With this patch we're hoping to get back to weekly or biweekly updates so that we're always moving forward! Our new developer will surely help with this and the future is looking bright. Thanks to all of our players for riding with us.
Item Rerolling
The in-game tooltip will describe this feature better than we will here but item rerolling will be a great glory sink for everyone! Affixes make equipment stronger and more appealing.
Alien Outpost
Our first new dungeon since re-releasing the game on all platforms! Head up on to the moon after fighting a new miniboss goat named SPECIAL AGENT. There is unfortunately no change in gravity on this metaverse moon but pretend there is!
Tavern Remake + Shop Price Reductions
Kyle, Nolo, and Jmn set out on a mission of creating a brand new Tavern. Nolo made most of the sprites. Jmn designed the entire layout with some inspiration from Kyle. Pocquette made it lively with NPCs and will add a swath of new interactions in an upcoming patch! We're incredibly proud of how this turned out! We created over 300 new assets for the Tavern and hope everyone enjoys it as much as we did.
Tavern
- Added premium skins for every class. Premium skins come with particles!
- Added multiple new skins for Gladiator and many other classes
- Added Lumberjack Gladiator skin. Thanks @Mira! @Jmn finalized the skin and touched it up
- Added new animated hats

- Added Independence Day event items to Mammon's shop in the northern part of the Tavern. These were meant to come out on July 4th but we missed the release window by a little. They'll be available for 1-2 weeks.
- Added livelier NPCs to the Tavern (NPC Update Part 1). Pocquette made a video showcasing the cool tech he made for the NPCs if you'd like to watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=150t0cuk6jg
- Part 2 will bring additional NPC interactions & NPC types
