๐ŸŽƒ Holy Shoot: The Phantom Squad Update ๐ŸŽƒ

Release Date: October 27th

Halloween is officially taking over Hell. Weโ€™ve been summoning something spooky for a while (donโ€™t ask where we found the bones), and itโ€™s finally here.

๐Ÿ‘ป Meet the Phantom Squad

Each realm now comes with its own spectral friend. The ancient heroes have come to lend you a ghostly hand:

  • Needapu, the Mayan Warrior - Wrath Calls down lightning from the underworld, frying everything that dares stand still.

  • Milcah Kow, the Druid Queen - Lust Channels life and temptation into a healing surge, keeping your reckless hide alive with an AOE heal.

  • Spearatrix, the Spartan Champion - Greed Brings pure, glorious violence. Slams the ground with unholy fury, sending out a shockwave of AOE damage.

You can summon them with the G key (for ghost, obviously). Each can be used twice per run, so time your calls wisely. Each ghost has its own unique ability, so experiment, scream, and let us know which one saved your doomed soul the most. Weโ€™re still tuning them, so feedback from the brave (and the reckless) is welcome.

๐Ÿš๏ธ Halloween Hub & Main Menu Makeover

Hell got a makeover. Expect glowing pumpkins, eerie candles, and a hub that looks like itโ€™s hosting a cursed party. Even the main menuโ€™s dressed up!

๐ŸงŸโ€โ™‚๏ธ Enemies Fixed (Mostly Behaving Now)

No more demons taking โ€œleaps of faithโ€ into the lava just to vibe. No more mobs getting stuck in weird corners pretending to be art installations. They actually want to fight you again. (Yay?)

๐Ÿ’ฅ Weapon & Visual Tweaks

Weโ€™ve reworked a few weapon VFX for better readability and extra oomph. Because if youโ€™re going to shoot demons, you might as well look cool doing it.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Greed Boss Prep. Room, Rebuilt

Greedโ€™s boss prep room (well, half of it) is no longer an existential void. Itโ€™s now, once again, a room. You can walk, breathe, admire walls and rocks. Groundbreaking progress!

๐ŸงŠ Winter Is Coming (and So Are The Performance Fixes)

More performance and stability fixes to keep the heat under control. Smoother runs, fewer meltdowns, same amount of chaos.
