Hello! This is the first major update for Caveblazers. It has been worked on for about 1 month (since I wasn't able to work on the game between April & June).
From now until September I will be working on the game full-time, so expect large updates between now & then.
Change Log:
Features:
- 4 Bosses
- Boss music track with individual intros for each boss
- Poison, fire & bleeding is not affected by 'damage resist'
- Bows which fire multiple projectiles have their damage spread over the number of projectiles
- New Temple generation technique (WIP)
- New enemy appearing in the Forsaken Jungle & Fungal Grotto
- New enemy appearing in the Fungal Grotto.
- Temporary ending after the Fungal Grotto.
- Since the game is no longer infinite, impossible scores have been removed from the leaderboards
- Tripled the default size of the arrow hitbox
- Burst knockback when acquiring a blessing
- Boxes, pots, chests, etc can no longer bleed or be poisoned
- Poison now only reduces hp to 1

- Increased sword hitboxes
Bug Fixes:
- Explosions create light correctly
- Improved performance for projectiles, blood & particles
- Fixed freezing from Ankh resurrect effects on low-end PCs
- General improved performance on low-end PCs
- Potential fix for "Out of memory" and "Fatal memory error" crashes

A few additional notes...
Thank you all for your boss & enemy suggestions! I didn't quite get around to adding any of them, but the next 2 bosses that I will be working on will be based on your suggestions.
I expect the bosses will require some tweaking over the next few days. Since we don't have a team of testers at our disposal, it's difficult to balance game's the difficulty, so be sure to give your thoughts about what you like/dislike on the forums!
Thanks!
