Hello everyone!
We're back with a huge wave of balance changes and fixes, in what will be known as...
🏆The Big Relic Overhaul Update!
For a long time, we've wanted to make underused relics more viable, and we finally got the chance! This update reworks over 25 relics, making them easier to use, more fun, and generally more rewarding. We also adjusted the rarity of many relics, mostly downgrading them so the relic pool feels more diverse and more accessible during your runs.
We're always looking for ways to keep the game fresh and interesting, and the next area we see great potential is enemies and mobs. Expect redesigns, new mechanics, and a few fresh modifiers coming in the near future!
🖌️New Art for Areas, Events, and More!
The new background animations are here! ...well, we teased a preview in the last update, but this time all events have received brand-new art and animations. We also adjusted some issues with backgrounds in Areas 2 and 3, and fixed certain events showing the wrong background art.
But there's even more: several menus have been revamped, including boards, the finish-turn button, dice shadows, and a few special slots.
Also, we squeezed in a handful of non-relic–related balance changes and bugfixes for good measure. If you want to dive deep, let's me show you the absolute unit of a changelog we got ready for you...
