With a small delay to our usual schedule, we are happy to announce our next update 0.7!
This update mostly contains balancing, the new Filter Grabbers and of course a new Level, where you are finally able to gather the rare Platinum Ore.
Note: To unlock the new Filter Grabbers, you have to beat Level 7 at least once.
We've also updated Unity to the latest version in hopes, that it'll fix the crashes some users (especially on Mac) have reported.
Let us know, how the game runs after this update on our Discord or in the Steam Discussions!
While this update may seem rather small, a lot of "behind the scenes" work has been done for a bigger update, which probably will be released next week. A small Teaser awaits you on the end of this news!
So let's jump right into what changed:
Features:
- Added new Level "Auridian"
- Added Filter Grabber
- Added base Statistic (your base needs to run for at least a minute for this to show)
Balancing:
This update mostly focused on some issues with how the Laser Tower was performing (especially skillwise)
The "Melting Ray" skill of the Laser Tower has changed to reduce cold instead of physical resistance and the amounts of shots needed were also reduced.
Furthermore the Heat Damage of the stacking DoT skill was buffed while the stack amount got reduced, as it wasn't really possible to stack it to a 100. Now it should do more reliable damage.
Besides that, a lot of wrong piercing values over different skilltrees were fixed also the Laser and Tesla Tower got buffed a bit.
