Balance, Bug Fixes, Art, and Audio

Balance updates

Construct Distribution

  • When starting the game you will now initially only encounter Normal (green) Constructs until you clear the forest zones. When the coastal portal has opened, Enhanced (blue) Constructs will begin to appear in the forest zones and beyond, the same will happen with Elite (red) Constructs when you clear the coastal zones. We think this will provide a better difficulty curve as well as keep the game fresh and more interesting the more new players progress. For players that have already unlocked both tracks you will notice a more varied mix of enemies earlier on in each run. You will also encounter more (quantity) Enhanced Constructs in the coastal zones and Elite Constructs in the mountain zones.

  • Enhanced Slimes now fling their spike balls toward the player

  • Changed spike ball spread for Enhanced Automatons
  • Elite Slimes fire their bullets toward the player
  • Elite Slimes are now the same size as other slimes
  • Elite Chargers now fire their bullets before charging
