Hi everyone,
We are very glad to start 2019 with a new Blazing Beaks update. Now you can play not only normal runs as before but also seeded runs where players will be able to play exactly the same runs if the same seed number is entered.
Although seeded runs guarantee the same levels layout, the same amount of enemies, the same type of enemies and even which enemies drop loop - sometimes the outcome of loot dropped will be different. This is because loot drop depends on various things and player actions - for example, if player decides not to pick up any artefact, decides exchange them into items or not and etc.
In seeded runs all items, artefacts can be dropped and all weapons can be used so most of unlockables cannot be unlocked in this mode.
Players now will be able to select game difficulty level of their choice. Normal difficulty is the one that you played by default up to this update. The game is intended to be played in Normal difficulty. Nevertheless, there are players to whom the game is too easy or too difficult. For them we made Easy and Hard difficulty levels. Easy - enemies have only half HP as in Normal difficulty. Hard - enemies are more aggressive and deal twice as more damage. We encourage players who play Easy or Hard difficulties to leave feedback in Steam community hub: https://steamcommunity.com/app/585710/discussions/
We also added Aim Assist feature. You can choose the amount of aim assist to help you aim to enemies. If it's set to 100%, then it will aim to the nearest possible enemy for you.
As we promised before, we added keyboard binding feature. Now in Options, Keyboard Layout you can set your preferred keys for playing the game.
