Update #77 - This is not the update in which we add Jungle - Weekend of June 12th

Through some sort of devious marketing scheme, everyone has come to expect great things from the legendary "double digit" updates, and it seems like it's time for one of those again. Despite last weeks update being enormous already, the team taped their knuckles, dipped 'em in glue and glass shards, and we started working like there was no tomorrow.

Let's start with some of the obvious things: Last week's Chicken redesign prompted a lot of rebalancing this week, aside from the usual balances and fixes. We also have new cursed weapon sounds, and a super fun new shell weapon.

As for the more notable changes this week: we've had another go at making spawns safer! We're looking forward to hearing your feedback on this one. It's subtle, but it should make a notable difference. We've also continued work on a major Game Over screen overhaul. This is obviously still work in progress, but it already looks a lot better now. It will also show you exactly what killed you, so you'll never have to wonder whether it was a maggot or an assassin that ended your loop.

    Features
  • Safer spawns.
  • Game over screen overhaul, now also showing what killed you.
  • New shell weapon, the Eraser. Combines the best of both sluggers and ordinary shotguns. Balancing
  • Thrown weapons now deal more damage and are a bit bouncier when they hit walls.
  • New Chicken Ultra B: Thrown weapons teleport back to your secondary slot.
  • New Chicken Throne Butt: Thrown weapons pierce (her old Ultra B).
  • Better rate of fire for the Double Shotgun, Sawed Off Shotgun, and Heavy Slugger.
  • Slightly less damage for the Energy Sword. Fixes
  • Fixed a rare bug causing Horror to spawn outside the level.
  • You now play your damage animation and sound when eating a cursed weapon as Robot.
  • Fixed Scarier Face waking up Assassins and Alligators.
  • Fixed a weird thing where sleeping Assassins thought they should deal contact damage.
  • Certain cars now have a nicer explosion.
  • Melting's HP is now rounded up when divided by two. Misc
  • Chicken now bleeds a lot for the last second before dying.
  • Sounds for Cursed Weapons.

Trivia: there are currently almost ninety different ways to not reach the Nuclear Throne. Have fun!
