addedNew Hazard: Laser WallsSome Levels in Act 3 now have Laser Barriers that turn on and off to the beat. Getting caught in the beam will hurt you, but enemies take even more damage from it!
changedDestructiblesYou can find destructible objects (like Crates and Vases) in most levels. Destroying them has a chance of granting you some Currywurst and other Powerups! Be Careful - many levels also have explosive barrels that, when destroyed, do massive damage to anything nearby!
changedEnemy Spawner ImprovementsWe tweaked the enemy spawning system, allowing enemies to use the whole level to determine where to spawn. Enemy spawns are now less "clustered" and will often lead to situations where the player is in danger of being surrounded. This also increases the enemy density in some levels in Acts 2 and 3.
changedHammer ImprovementsThe Hammer's Basic Attack area of effect has been increased. It's now easier to hit enemies, especially when they're close to you.
changedDonna BalancingDonna had already adjusted her training a little in the last patch. In the interests of fairness, however, we would like to inform you about this as well.
addedDonna BalancingTo provide a more well-rounded power progression, we added additional levels for some of Donna's Upgrades: Combat Style: +3 additional Levels Tanzrausch Effect: +3 additional Levels Energy Gain upgrades: +3 additional Levels
