Update 5.1.2

07 Aug 2024Developer post

You guys just keep making a mockery of Endless Mode's difficulty, I swear… I'm trying to END YOU. After wave 30, microbe stats will now scale by 5% each wave instead of 2%.
This means that highest wave records above 30 have been reset again, sorry 😬. I swear I won't do it again.
Not sure if I ever officially mentioned this, but when heading towards The Abyss for the first time, that rate is lessened - it was 1% instead of 2% before, now it'll be 1.666% instead of 5%. Not relevant to you if you've already learned your true purpose. Oh, and this is why you can't set wave records during this sequence.

Projectiles with both Sticky + Bounce (which the Crane turret has innately) will be slightly harder for microbes to 'push'. It'll be more likely that they bring microbes to a halt now.
(perk) Backpack: In Shmup Mode, it'll face forward. (I don't plan on changing other perks based on mode-specific viability, this is a one-off thing - think of it as an easter egg). Also added auditory feedback when it triggers, and made the visual feedback more noticeable.
(perk) Bandage: Ignore hits for 3s → 4s.
(perk) Saline: Changed to "Heat -25% each time you lose Health" (no longer have to be below half Health).
(microbe) CCGG Cramshell: Doubled the accuracy of its shotgun blast.
(mode) Shmup: I am once again increasing how fast you move vertically with turrets that have Movespeed.

Changed some Daily Dive stuff again, which (like last time) has ended up changing the current Daily Dive modifiers.

Microbes spiralling towards you no longer "jitter/vibrate".
(microbe) CCGG Cramshell: No longer does that weird thing where it just sits there inching towards you in a jerky fashion that's always been a bug tbh).
(mode) Abyss Mode: Thought I fixed it before, but now (for real this time) projectile submunitions will always be cleared when he starts entering view.
(perk) Bandage: wasn't adding Heat when triggered.
