Hello Everyone! Thanks for your support and feedback while playing the game!
The new build is V4.0.5!
Got lots of stuff done this month and we hope you enjoy it.
Now to the list of things we added for this update!
Updates
Research Updates
- Player can now synthesize materials using ecto and desynthesize unused materials into ecto. Go to the research bench to check it out!
- Majority of research upgrades now require ecto as a base requirement
- Research UI styling has been updated to look nicer (similar to synth)
- Inventory logs now contain item images
Level Updates
- Added new level Crabby Caverns
- Added new level Radiant Reef
- Each level now has difficulties you can unlock, the harder the difficulty, the more reward!
--> Be careful of the bosses on higher difficulties, they may have additional mechanics.
