A second character enters Chaos: Hoardor
Until now you've played as one. That changes today. Meet Hoardor, a tribute to a friend who's helped shape this journey. Pick your character and your ultimate before the run starts.
Counters feel right
No more falling through terrain mid-counter. Start a counter on a rock, stay on the rock. Blinks respect walls and obstacles properly now.
New lighting moods in the forest
Four new lighting presets roll randomly at the start of a run: Dawn, Day, Dusk, and Night. Night got a magical upgrade with violet mist and deeper bloom.
Shadows
Shadows render further out and softer. Less shadow pop when you move.
Map polish
Full-screen map now reads cleaner thanks to per-area color tinting.
World generation
Trees and foliage spawn smarter. Fewer weird overlaps, better use of space.
Cooldown orbs per character
The orbs around your hat update automatically when you swap characters. No ghost orbs from your previous pick.
Balance
Projectiles cap at 5x base size. Big, but not screen-eating big.
Tribute: Lucky's Lucky Clover Bracer
The luck-up item has been reforged as a tribute to LuckyNumberChris, a hero who helped me along the way. Four leaves, his lucky number. Tales say his real name was Chris. Also added to the Masters of Chaos credits.
