15 Jul 2018Developer post

New enemy 1 - Giant blood bats

Stronger, smarter, and immune to many of the tricks that worked on their smaller cousins

Their lighter armor makes them considerably more agile then the soldiers you've seen so far...

Oh...and regular soldiers have also learnt to dodge roll now; you're welcome :)

Destroying spikes blocks will causes the spikes to fly out. These in turn can be picked up and thrown (TowerClimb ref.).

Arrows stick in blocks.
Arrows shot through pollen clouds become venomous.
A burst of particles is released when arrows are ignited/envenomed + new graphics!
Arrows slow down in water.

New animations.
A warning will display if the boss is unalerted and you're down to the last 3 crystals.
No more stun-lock cheesing.
Rebalanced enemy spawning.
Fixed bug where it would randomly turn away from the player when attacking.

For items that can be equipped in both hands; you can use the left/right trigger to specify which with the weapon wheel (or just use the default).
Bouncing off enemies now resets wall vault count/multi jump

All remaining control options (toggling default run; gamepad tilt sensitivity determining sprint; changing the aiming mode etc.); are now saved on leaving the game. Some settings are now saved separately per control scheme.
Auto-wall vault is toggle-able.

Eye lazer attack has been nerfed.
Crystal weapons now recharge much faster.
Various graphical glitches related to humanoid arms have been fixed.
Swords and spears can no longer be drawn on the player's head after they simultaneously try and grapple and climb at the same time.
Multiple others...
