🧬 BALANCE

  • (Commander Cell) ːadnaːːgdnaːːgdnaːːgdnaː Accelemander: Move Max 5 6.

    • ːadnaːːadnaːːadnaːːtdnaː Infiltrator: Size Max 2 3, command self Damage 1 2.

    • ːadnaːːtdnaːːtdnaːːtdnaː Defender: Size Max 4 5.

    • ːadnaːːadnaːːcdnaːːgdnaː Scavenger: Size Max 1 2.

    • ːcdnaːːcdnaːːgdnaːːgdnaː Silencer: Size Max 2 3.

    • ːcdnaːːcdnaːːtdnaːːtdnaː Bombarder: Size Max 5 6.

    • ːcdnaːːgdnaːːgdnaːːtdnaː Radiator: Size Max 5 6.

  • (Commander) Hivemind:

    • Its Size growth mechanics were both incredibly buggy and not enjoyable to play with, so it's being reworked.

    • Instead of changing Size Max when touching other commander cells, they'll now gain Size +1 at turn start & end per touching commander cell.

♻️ CHANGES

  • (Commander) Prime: Tweaks to tagline (pre and post story).

  • (Perk) Oobleck: Clarified in description that the Move Max increases/decreases don't continue stacking.

  • Better late-game difficulty scaling.

  • Cleaned up some gene sprites.

🛠️ FIXES

  • (Commander) Devil: Its unique defeat messages would make it seem like they always occured due to a commander cell being eliminated.

  • (Mode) HEART: Blocked-in cells' healing commands often wouldn't work.

  • (Perk) Hardhat:

    • (Mode) HEART: Now works as expected (like a regular shield).

    • Works like a regular shield when Size = 1 (MULTI commands would bypass this).

  • (Mutation) Head Hunter, Crit +2: Now correctly shows Abyss cell command overlays.

  • Placing a wall next to a cell that can still move would let it move into the wall (without using the Hollow commander).

  • The command overlay sound sometimes wouldn't occur when Abyss cell command overlays appear.
