Patch Notes:

  • Reduced starting acceleration when walking, and increased ground friction, so it’s much easier to move very small distances and be more precise with your movement.

  • Removed/bugfixed the ability to “charge” your forward movement while attacking/guarding which let you start walking at full speed as soon as the attack ended. This should make movement more consistent, and easier to predict.

  • You can still dash out of attacks to act faster, and start moving at full speed instantly

  • Buffed Charged Slash damage.

  • Made the Swamp (Layer 3) boss Arena much larger, to make the fight against Giant Axe Goo + Semisquatch easier.

  • The “Magic Axes” that Mage Goos throw now move slightly faster, so they clog the screen less. (4 > 4.5). And their trail visual is a bit longer so it’s easier to tell their direction.

  • Eye Lazer and Spike hitboxes reduced a bit to make platforming smoother.

  • Fixed Broad Side Whack, Turnaround Slam, and Phase Slash to scale as special attacks, not basic attacks

  • Reduced Berserker’s Healing by 50%. Reduced max SP by 10. Increased Basic attack scaling from 1.1 to 1.2, decreased Special Attack scaling from 0.5 to 0.4.

  • Tweaked/fixed Boss Rush 3 and Boss Rush -EX- challenges.

  • Added Steam achievements for completing 5, 10, 15, 20 challenges.

  • Added Cyrillic support for leaderboards and (probably?) Multiplayer lobbies.

  • Replaced the “personal bests/last run” box from the main menu with a desperate plea that you follow me on Twitter. It was basically just a crappy, easy substitute for a leaderboard, so now that there’s a real leaderboard it’s kind of useless.
