Hello Survival Typists!
We’re back with another update to your favorite typing game!
The Armory
We noticed that there’s a lot of cool content like augments and loot effects that people are missing out on because they don’t notice or come across them in the game. The Armory fixes that problem by giving you a rundown of all the weapons, augments, and effects in the game.
In addition, the armory lets you spend your hard earned coins to permanently upgrade your weapons and augments of choice, letting you focus in on that specific killer build.
Level-Up Upgrades for Loot and Augment Effects
The augments and loot effects you pick up during a run can now be upgraded when you level up! Fancy that Caltrops augment? Now you can stack cool upgrades on top of it mid-run. This opens up way more build variety and synergy options for you to experiment with.
More Durable Drones
Although Glyphica’s Endless Mode was not designed to be a mode you can play for hours, some of our fanatical players have figured out builds that let them play for hours. We’ve added 2 levels of stronger drones to ensure a greater challenge for our players.
Visual and Audio Mods
We’re impressed with the number of cool wordlist mods our players have made so far and now we’re adding more ways for you to customize your play experience. With this update, we’re adding visual and audio mods to the game. Customize the colors and sounds to make for a unique Glyphica experience!
