The Big Boss Update

Hello my Kritters!

We are so happy to share with you our new Kritter update.
As usual, we added new features, new content and fixed many bugs.

Here are the main things to now:

We added new traps

An electric one that stuns enemies.

And a tar one that slows enemies.

Have fun finding what suits your defense best!

We added telegraphs

A standard in action roguelites that we were missing. For now we added some to the important parts, like on the boss fight and big enemies, but now that it's there, you can expect to see more of them, even on the Kritter part!

The Boss fight is way better and way harder

Yeah the boss is a bit faster and a lot stronger as well. Nice one.
Anyway, the boss now has three new skills that will give you a hard time.

And soooooo much more.

As usuall, please join our discord server and give us your feeddback about the game, it would help us tremendously to make it better!

And a special thank you to all of you for helping us everyday to make Kritter a better game!

It's now time for the patch note :)
