Final Demo Update
Heirs and Heiresses, we've once again updated the Night Swarm demo ahead of launch. We're in the home stretch, and this is likely to be the last update to the demo before the full game goes live on December 4th.
We also want to let you all know that we've partnered with a publisher, Mad Mushroom. We're excited about this relationship and what it means for Night Swarm, including more resources to improve the game and more marketing and promotion.
✨New Features & Content
Added a unique event for the final biome, the Castle: Eyeles now has four different Eyeles traps, each unlocking based on Castle difficulty.
Major update to the fusion system: bonus stats on skills are no longer lost when fusing. Every upgrade card now has a Carry Over Power, which transfers to the fused relic. This solves the issue of “rarity not mattering until fusion.”

Added key rebinding under Settings → Controls.
