Another big update! Sorry for the wait! The much-anticipated sell functionality is here, but in a limited scope so that we can see the effect. You will also receive the challenge reward if you finish a level while meeting the bonus requirement the first time you attempt it. This should reduce the amount of compulsory replaying of levels. We have also added quite a bit of content (levels and enemies) and polish. The reward curve has been adjusted even further to be more forgiving.

Please note that at this point, you cannot sell Master Upgrades! There are too many other upgrades and spells that are unlock-dependent on Master Upgrades in some conditions, so for now we are keeping them unsellable. In the future we will consider making it so that you can sell a Master Upgrade once you’ve sold all other dependent upgrades and spells first.

Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts to everyone that has bought and played Cosmonator and especially to everyone that has given feedback!

Please enjoy this update! Full details follow:
