⚔️ Hello Adventurers!

To celebrate Steam Bullet Fest, we're releasing the biggest update in BitHero Survivors so far! 💙

Character Ability Trees

Every hero now has their own unique Ability Tree!

Earn Ability Points by leveling up and customize your hero with different stat bonuses and progression paths. Experiment with different builds and discover new ways to survive the hordes.

🗺️ New Stage: Ancient Maze

A mysterious new stage is now available!

Unlike traditional survival-focused stages, the Maze introduces a random labyrinth experience filled with exploration, treasure chests, and danger.

Each run is uniquely generated, offering a different layout and challenge every time.

Something powerful may be waiting at the end of the path...

🛡️ Critical Hits, Defense & New Relics

Combat has been expanded with new stats:

Critical Chance Critical Damage Defense

To support these mechanics, new relics have been added:

  • Monocle – Increases Critical Chance

  • Whetstone – Increases Critical Damage

  • Buckler – Increases Defense

🗺️ Minimap & World Map

Getting lost is part of the adventure. Getting lost forever is optional.

A minimap is now available in the top-right corner, and a full map can be opened with the M key.

💥 Damage Numbers

Critical hits now display damage numbers above enemies, making powerful strikes easier to read during combat.

It's always satisfying to know when something really hurts.

Other Improvements

  • Balance adjustments

  • UI & gameplay improvements

  • Bug fixes and general polishing

Demo Update

The demo has also been updated with selected features from this patch, including the Ability Tree system.
