We are hearing that players want more variety.
They want each playthrough to tell a story. So this update addresses part of that by providing 5 rare Amulets that will have drastic effects on your Gnome's abilities.
As well as adding 3 dangerous passive states (in addition to the 7 positive passive effects from special food items) that you have to manage if you expect to make it across the Rogue Islands.
Hunger
Now there are dire consequences to having an empty stomach. While "Hungry" your movement speed is lowered, you mana recharge rate is lowered, you cannot levitate or boost-jump AND you will take steady damage that can kill you from full health in about 3 minutes.
But we here at Big Fat Alien are nice people, so at least we made it easier to find food. HAHA Just kidding, we lowered the drop rate and made you digest it faster too. deal_with_it.jpg
Traumatized
Being traumatized can happen if you take huge damage from falling, are hit by a Ghast, are drowning or simply drop below 10 health for any reason. While Traumatized, your jump height is reduced and your mana recharge rate is reduced.
You can cure being traumatized by eating a Bloodcap. The Amulet of Bravery will make you immune to being traumatized.
Poisoned
Poison damage (the green stuff) causes "Poisoned" effect which lowers your health regeneration rate. Can be cured by eating a Bloodcap. Amulet of Resistance makes you immune to poisoning.
Rare Amulet Drops
You can find these in chests:
- Amulet of Protection, decreases all damage 15%
- Amulet of Speed, boosts your movement speed 25%
- Amulet of Bravery, makes you immune to being traumatized
- Amulet of Resistance, makes you immune to poisoning.
- Amulet of Strength, jump higher and immune to hunger.
