Hello all, welcome to the first patch notes! We did some minor balancing and addressed the most drastic bugs. It’s likely some things you guys want are not addressed here, we are reading your feedback and understanding where it’s coming from. New QOL features, such as seeing highscores from within the level select screen, windowed mode or a quick restart button.
We’re taking a few weeks off from working on the game directly to let the initial steam sales settle before we commit to anything. However what we can commit to is a set of small competitions we will be hosting in the discord. Starting next week we will be hosting a string of competitions for 3 weeks straight and we’re excited to see you all completely break the game.
Due to balancing changes the highscores have been cleaned up! The 1.0.0 archive can be found here:

Quality of Life
- Reverse now includes a visual, 0 - 100, indicator of how much of a charge you have completed
Module Balancing
All changes here are effective in both the campaign and rifts.
- Laser
- Damage at high spark levels has been reduced by about 10%
-
Dash

Rifts
- Floor 4 and 5 fights, both HR and Elites, have had their difficulty slightly increased

- Additionally, they each subsequently spawned assistant will appear slightly later
- Floor bosses now get really angry if you fight them for an incomprehensibly high amount of time (they despise any attempts of pacifism)
