This release is a bit rushed, but we really wanted to push out these fixes before we'll leave for GDC and PAX (next release might take a month!).
The major features are the addition of a new enemy (drone), and adding telegraphed charge attacks for imps and ravagers! This feature is definitely WIP, and the visual indicatior might change. We also want it to deal more damage, but we first want to see how the attack changes the enemies difficulty - feedback for this feature needed!
In the changes department there's a minor addition of kills to the player data view, and the more significant addition of proximity doors to Europa. In particular one of the subtilesets of Europa will now always use them. We received positive feedback on proximity doors, so we wanted to make more use of them - if we went overboard, please do tell us!
Finally there are a couple fixes, most importantly the annoying key repeat after changing levels.
Check out below for the full changelog!
We await for your feedback (especially on new changes)!
