addedThere's several new systems in place and it's becoming increasingly harder for me alone to test them all thoroughly and to make sure there's isn't any problematic interactions with the other mechanics already in place. So to get some help with that I uploaded a Beta Version.

changedIf you want to try out the next hero a few days in advance just right click the game in your Steam Library -> Go to Properties -> Betas -> Beta Participation: Engineer Beta

changedThis should download the update for you, it should be fairly stable already, but it's always nice to have more people testing it out. In the coming days I will keep testing the game and make sure everything is stable and balanced, then early next week when the localisation is ready the update will go live for everyone.

addedThank you all for your help! It's great to see so many players being involved and enjoying the game. I hope you like the new hero! The concept idea was to have a hero that destroys tons of bricks but gets less damage and upgrades out of it, to create a fun high destruction gameplay.

addedThe update also features new Challenges with extra relics to unlocks, and a new Relic Reroll option to compensate the size of the relic pool increasing. Rerolls are at first imited at one per run, but you can unlock extra rerolls by completing Challenges.

changedNew Hero : Engineer. New Relic Reroll Mechanic. Added special +Reset Threshold bricks in the Queen Bee fight Added a brick restoring lost max hp in the Cursed One fight New Challenges and unlockable relics: Circular Saw, Mead Barrel, Shell Generator, Rocket Cart Alchemy Flask Relic is now unlocked through a challenge (Burn the Frog tongue, retroactively completed for those who already had the achievement) Slightly reduced the Goblin Siege Engine attack speed Fixed MouseControl Confusion interaction with the Elementalist Paddle Screenshakes will now only shake the screen vertically when MouseControl is active, to avoid unwanted paddle movements Added Steps and various other visual improvements
