Hello everyone! Today we have 2 updates!
Jotunheim Ragnarok Release!
We’re happy to release Jotunheim Ragnarok at last! Wield your best weapons and get ready to crush some ice! We’ve also made some changes to the Freezing Curse due to your feedback and hope it now feels less vicious. Let us know what you think!
Challenge Mode - Beta
Challenge Mode has a new feature: Blessings, which will give you a nice boost in every run. We’re close to finishing the Challenge Mode development.
The reward for completing each day's challenge will be 500 seeds and 1 Gnöki badge.
After that we will keep improving Endless so we can open a Beta soon.
Fixes and Balancing
Some fixes and balancing thanks to your suggestions:
- Beam Pyramid Ascension wasn’t showing in the Glossary.
- Vanaheim golden statue’s laser didn’t hurt you if you stayed still.
- Some bosses could spawn off camera (Jotunheim and Vanaheim final bosses).
- Jotunheim Freezing Curse time required to remove a stack has been reduced.
- Jotunheim torches stay on for more time and off for less time.
- Boss health in Ragnarok IV and V has been reduced.
- Bosses take more time to enter rage mode in Ragnarok mode.
- Enemy Gigantism ability has been nerfed.
- Leaf cap has been increased by 50 in the seed/leaf exchange.
