⚖ BALANCE

• "Beelzebub" Guardian: Speed/Firerate/Time slowdown when hit 2s → 3s (so just don't get hit, ez 🐝)

• "Maw" Guardian: Damage taken per second will now continue to increase beyond wave 30.

  • The wave 1 - 30 Maw experience is untouched

  • Getting deep into Endless is now just going to be more impressive (and still very possible)

• "Tempest" Guardian: Projectiles that eliminate Microbes now deal Knockback, so that Tempest's Knockback behaviour works.

• "Screw" Platform: Speed 30 → 40.

• "Heatshield" Mod: Now lasts up to 5s (but exiting the overheated state and overheating again resets that timer!)

⚙ SETTINGS

• AUDIO:

  • Added "Shooting Sounds" toggle.

  • Added "Explosion Sounds" toggle.

🔨 FIXES

• Gamepad: You can now select between option buttons on dialog popups.

• "Range +40% & Accuracy +40% & Velocity +40% on weapons with C DNA" Chip: Now applies the Accuracy & displays change correctly on weapon hover stats.

• "Freon" Mod: Mod icon no longer looks inactive during a dive.

• "Spoiler" Mod: It could be unlocked just sitting completely still 💀

• "Plow" Mod: Unlock would sometimes not occur when it should.

• "Jumper" Mod: Mod icon will only be lit if you have at least 4 Health (necessary for it to trigger).

• Hitscan + Split:

  • Now plays firing sounds.

  • Now widens spreads (as was always intended).

  • Split no longer overwrites Projectiles stat.

• And like 20 other things I didn't track, but I'll always at least track stuff like balance changes / content additions though.

Some Known Bugs (hoping to have these addressed in 0.5.4 which would be in a few days from now):

• "Snare" Guardian: Loads of stuff

• "Obliterate" Gadget: Range inconsistencies + sometimes "missing"

• "Singularity" Gadget: Weird position stuff

• Hitscan + Bounce: Hitting things beyond their range

• A couple things relating to gamepad navigation
