This is an exciting update for us! Not only should it improve Palace a lot, it changes up a lot of damage and ammo values! We suggest quickly checking out the "balancing" list under here, because it's too much to cram into a sentence, and might change the way you build your run quite a bit.
You'll now find brand new, deadly Guardians in the Palace that replace the old Ghost Guardians, will (possibly) reach a way better looking Nuclear Throne, and most importantly: Assassins now stop and wait for a couple of milliseconds before attacking!
This update log is a bit shorter than usual because Rami is typing it from a hotel somewhere in London, after a family birthday and a holiday, while getting ready for gamescom and PAX.

We received a fan-game of all things, in the shape of Wasteland Racer, the Nuclear Throne Wiki has an amazing gif animation above the poll this month.
