After a few months of polish and additional features, the game is ready for release!
Here are a list of updates that have been deployed to the beta and the demo since the previous update news post.
v0.3.4 - 2 Apr 2025
Settings - VSync Improvements
Added ability to set VSync to disabled / every frame / every 2,3, or 4 frames. This is good for higher refresh rate monitors to prevent GPU stress. If your monitor runs at 120Hz or higher, set VSync to every 2 frames to prevent overheating while keeping the game running smooth at 60Hz or above.
Settings - Target Framerate
Added ability to set Target Framerate when VSync is disabled. VSync is generally a smoother experience, but if you must force a specific target frame rate, you can disable VSync and set a target frame rate to 30, 60, 90, 120, or unlimited.
Bugfixes
- Score counter on Game Over screen no longer breaks when getting a score over 10 million
- Boss no longer accidentally harms player when defeated
- 5-second delay introduced before the level destruction continues after you defeat the boss
- Ballista bolts now stick to the player, so you can see that you got hit
- Flyer enemy ragdolls are now not triggering player melee attacks
- You can now melee attack siege weapons (ballista and catapults) and deal damage
- Player now runs to the right when holding gamepad thumbstick as the game starts

v0.3.3 - 26 Mar 2025

v0.3.2 - 25 Mar 2025
Bugfixes
- Fixed glitchy archer aiming (does best effort if arrow can't reach player)
- Menu bug fixes
v0.3.1 - 25 Mar 2025
Bugfixes
v0.3.0 - 25 Mar 2025
Cinematic Camera Mode
New 3D Cinematic Camera Mode that can be enabled under Settings | Options - this makes it much harder to play, but it offers a unique look. I love playing this mode; it's a new fresh challenge and you have to know the levels well to survive.
Close Camera Mode
New Close camera mode that zooms in on the player - this makes it harder to play, but it shows the characters better. A fun challenge.
Speedrun Timer
You can enable a speedrun timer under Settings | Options .
One Hit Mode
You can enable One Hit mode under Settings | Options that removes the health bar and the player dies upon first hit. This is another challenging way to play the game!
Statistics
The statistics are recorded with camera mode and One Hit mode flags so statistics can be filtered, achievements, and skins can retroactively be tied to historic performances in these modes.

Zero Inertia Stopping

Bugfixes
- Fixed vertical dead-zone for gamepad input to avoid accidental up-aiming
v0.2.39 - 7 Mar 2025
On Fire Mechanic
If you get 11 kills in 5 seconds, you activate "On Fire" mode, visualized by fire and smoke on and around the hero character. When On Fire is active, kills score double to encourage fast gameplay. If you get hit (without shield) or if you don't get a kill in 5 seconds, On Fire mode is deactivated.
Ultra Graphics Mode
Another "Ultra" quality mode was added which uses depth of field on the background to separate the player and level better from the environment, and it looks nicer =) It also saturates the colors a slight bit more.

- Improved multiplayer camera target group framing
- General bug-fixes
v0.2.29 - 22 Feb 2025
