First of All, Thank You!
Thank you once again for all the feedback and bug reports you've shared with us throughout the Early Access period.Every message you send helps us shape the Ketz universe into a more balanced, stable, and enjoyable experience.
With this update, we’ve added new features and made several key gameplay balance adjustments along with various technical fixes.
Below are all the additions and fixes included in version 0.0.63:
New Features
- Steam Cloud support has been added. You can now continue your progress across different computers.
- A new enemy, BOMBIDER, has arrived. Fragile but dangerous, it will challenge your positioning with explosive area damage.
- A visual effect has been added to the character at the start of each run.
- Identical enemy types now spawn with increased base health over time.
- A Reserved Item system has been added to the shop. You can now reserve shop items for later purchase.
- An item filter system has been introduced. Items with hidden rarity levels will no longer appear during a run.
- The item pickup key is now displayed in the info panel at the start of each run.
- All enemy sound effects have been updated.
New Abilities
- Lady Thalira: A new dash ability has been added. She creates a bond with enemies, draining their health and dealing damage.
- Lord Chrones: A new time orb ability has been added. Time orbs move around the map and deal direct damage to enemies.
- Zenith Techlock: A shuriken-throwing trigger ability has been added, activated through basic attacks.
Changes
- Solarix Nexar’s flame trail and fireball bounce behaviors have been reworked. These effects now occur directly, without requiring fire damage to trigger first.
- Trigger abilities now cast from the position of the triggered enemy, rather than from the character’s center.
- Several skill descriptions have been clarified for better understanding.
- With the new enemy health system, base health values have been reduced.
- Boss abilities now deal more damage.
- The behavior and values of some underperforming skills have been adjusted to improve overall DPS.
- Main characters’ dash distance has been shortened. This allows for more controlled offensive dashes, while players who prefer using dash as an escape can rely on the increased movement speed.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed controller-related issues in the character stat panel.
- Resolved bugs affecting elite enemy attacks and animations.
- Fixed a problem where Potion Boost buffs wouldn’t activate.
- Addressed an issue where weapon damage comparison stats weren’t displaying properly.
- Fixed animation issues in burn and poison effects.
- Resolved audio burst issues caused by simultaneous skill usage.
- Corrected formatting bugs in monuments, such as double percentage symbols (%%).
We’ll continue bringing new content, performance improvements, and balance updates throughout the Early Access period.
