Hello Survival Typists!
We’re back with another update to your favorite typing game, and this one is literally game changing!
Roguelite Omens
We know that we could lean into the roguelite elements of the genre more, so we’ve completely overhauled our omens system. These omens are randomized at the start of every run, giving you randomized debuffs with an assigned difficulty depending on the trial level you are at. If you don’t like your omens, you can reroll for an unlimited amount of times until you get the ones that suit your strategy the best.
This opens up a whole new way for us to add content to the game, by adding different omens with each update. More on that in the next part!
Enemy Omens
Some of you like the Stalker enemy (the one that hides the letters) but some of you hate it enough to leave bad reviews (please don’t!) With the new roguelite Omens system, we’ve now made the Stalker enemy an omen, so you get to choose whether or not you want to deal with it!
This allows us to add more interesting or advanced enemy types in the future, with the flexibility of letting you opt out if you just don’t wanna deal with them. We have added the Wurm in this update. It’s a multi segment enemy with an impenetrable shield between each segment. Each segment needs to be killed in order to destroy it.
Chemical Augments
Players noted the lack of augments for the chemical tag, so we went ahead and discharged some augments for you to play with.
Vocabulary Boost
It’s been a while since we added new words to our base wordlists, so we’re adding 500 new words to some of our major official languages.
You are now Immortal in Relaxed Mode
We understand that some of our players are struggling with the game. We’ve tried to address this in previous updates, but it hasn’t quite addressed the concerns. So we’re making a big change and you are now immortal in relaxed mode. Practice typing and using the different weapons without fear of death!
