Lieutenant Timmy
(Pictured: Lieutenant Timmy, casually tanking a thermonuclear bomb)
We have received your letters, and we couldn't agree more - Pennylooter has a severe lack of babies. With this in mind, a brand new boss has been deployed to the battlefield. This insidious infant has 5 stars in cute, but don't let that fool you; he was born at a very young age, and every moment since has been subsumed by war, famine, and rage. He will be born on wave 48.
New Items
Sniper & Military Armor
Lieutenant Timmy didn't get to his rank by adopting an alpha-wolf, “I work alone,” attitude. From the moment he uttered the words “Gugaag….ghhhh,” his parents knew he was made to be a leader and enlisted him straight away. Now, he helms an entire team of soldiers. Being a lieutenant, his men are even younger than he is, causing them to drop their clothes and even their weapons as they lack both fine motor control and object permanence.
Rocket Launcher
Timmy's insatiable bloodlust has lead to devastating consequences. However, the increasing military presence in the area doesn't have to mean it's Sally Sad Time. We are pleased to announce that Timmy's little shenanigans now mean that Rocket Launchers are within arm's reach of anyone who can afford them! If you still have them. Arms that is. Which I don't. What happened? Timmy happened. I'm typing this via voice-to-text.
Blood Gun
They say the developer came up with the idea for this weapon after his laptop ran out of battery, so he plugged the charger right into himself. He had access to a normal outlet, but you have access to normal guns and you still want to use this one because it's cool, yeah? Live a little, man.
Repulser
Every solar system has its center, and we here at Pennylooter like to view YOU as the center of our little world. That being said, we understand if you need space. Just jam this rod through your skull, leave it stuck in your brain, and we promise that you will find others staying a bit farther away.
New Enemies
Bomb Boys
You see that guy standing there in the gif? He died for this demonstration. Don't let it be in vain. The Bomb Boys are the most dangerous group of individuals to walk this forsaken planet, and all they want is a hug. But when you are born as a horrifying mash-up of human and TNT, every hug becomes more deadly than “Swimming in Syringes Saturdays” at the local pool.
Mega Bomb Boys
“What if the Bomb Boys tried to hug each other? Wouldn't that fix a lot of problems?” Calm down there, Oppenheimer. You aren't the first wide-eyed idealist to loot some pennies, and you aren’t the first to think that Bomb Boys can be dealt with peacefully. In-fact, they LOVE to hug each other. They do it so much, sometimes they merge into the dreaded Mega Bomb Boy.
Big Snowman
Of the two snowmen variety, Hominid Snowus Major is actually the less deadly of the two. That's because the smaller snowmen don't give a single hoot about your expectations, and have dedicated their lives to subverting them, while the bigger snowmen lazily coasted along, hoping their greater stature would be enough. It was, for a while, but then the snow market crashed, and they found work alongside their smaller cousins. Hard times makes for even harder snowmen.
Smaller Changes
- You now have a 2% chance to land a critical hit on enemies when using a gun or similar weapon.
- The Nimbility Implant now increases crit chance instead of movement speed (it still decreases reload time as well).
- Friended dogs are now invincible, have a nice red collar, and will also deal occasional contact damage to enemies.
- Friended dogs will teleport closer to the player if they end up really far away.
- Cut the speed boost given by the Speed Pill in half, also reduced the amount that can appear in a single shop to 1.
- Rebalanced the flesh biome. It's now slightly larger, and more common. Mob spawn rates have been adjusted, and Cyclopes now shoot projectiles.
- Rebalanced the snow biome. Small snow men don't spawn until wave 36, and big snow men will spawn starting at wave 10. Also, the snowballs fired by snow men are much easier to see now.
- Enemies will now spawn more quickly as you progress through the game.
- The Buisinessperson achievement is now triggered by your stats across all saves.
- Added a new achievement for taking 50,000 damage across all saves.
- Slightly increased the shop spawn rate in both hard mode and normal mode.
- Improved the behavior of the Coin Magnet.
- Slightly increased rarity of Speed Pill, Shopkeep's Heart, and Can of Tuna.
- Reduced Chef Pete's HP.
Bug Fixes
- Using the Writ of Blood would cause fewer enemies to spawn.
- Sometimes a notification would appear warning of an incoming boss fight when there was in fact no incoming boss fight.
- Sometimes a purple arrow would appear to indicate that an Altar had spawned, but the Altar would be impossible to find.
- Loading a save file during a boss fight would cause the boss to spawn with full hp.
- Loading a save file during a boss fight would cause the wrong music to play.
- Fixed a crash that could occur with certain audio devices.
