Powerful Powerups:
Powerful Powerups can now appear in the world when enemies are defeated. When picked up, they cause a multitude of different effects. The effect include:
Heal: Spawns a healing circle, that heals one health point.
Speed: Increases movement speed for a limited time.
Strength: Increases damage dealt for a limited time.
Double Stars: Doubles all collected stars for a limited time.
Black Hole: Pulls in all stars in the game world.
Freeze: Slows down all enemies drastically and applies stacks of frost to them
Supernova: Defeats all non-elite enemies in the world. Elite enemies take damage and receive the burning effect
The spawn rate of each powerup is not equal, some powerups are more likely to appear than others.

Regular enemies can now spawn in their enhanced variation. Enhanced Enemies are clearly discernable by their purple shade and the number of stars below them. The number of stars determines their enhancement level, ranging from 1 to 4. Enhanced Enemies have more health and deal more damage, but are moving slower. When defeated they drop an additional amount of stars.

All constellations have now received an additional star at the end of the constellation. While it is weaker than the regular stars of a constellation, this star is infinitely repeatable and serves as a key for some builds.
