changedThe character select screen has received a slight facelift. The character portrait animations have been updated, and instead of a boring grey background behind each character they are now residing on their home planet!
addedNew Boss: Shadow Violet
changedThe final shadow battle arrives. Collecting all of the SP Medals in Dystopia will unlock this brutal challenge. Defeat them quickly for that slight boost of just enough points to climb the leaderboard!
