Chemical Combat V1.1

BOSS FIGHTS 🐲

A deadly Wyvern now guards the exit to each floor, featuring three distinct boss phases - rapid dashes, powerful shockwaves, and a large swing attack.

NEW REACTIONS 🧪

The update features many entirely new reactions, as well as revamps of many old reactions to have new icons and clearer effects:

• Marble: summons a large, obstructive marble pillar

• Tornado: summons a deadly tornado which pulls in nearby enemies

• Magnetise: attracts all nearby enemies into large clusters

• Irradiate: periodically stuns enemies

• Smoke: obscures enemy vision

• Pressurise: explodes after applying multiple stacks

• Glaciate: causes a large, icy explosion

• Refine: increases crit chance

• Shine: increases throwing accuracy

• Blight: enemies take additional damage on hit

• Glitter: spreads applied elements on death

• Embrittle: increases blunt and physical damage

• Ionise: increases electric damage

• Oxidise: increases the effectiveness of damage over time effects

• Volatile: increases explosion and fire damage

PROCEDURAL GENERATION 🗺️

The procedural generation of the dungeons now uses a more complex system to produce longer single paths with safe puzzle rooms off to either side rather than a random distribution in a grid. More new room types and chests should be coming soon...

OPTIMISATIONS 💡

• The game now uses a custom lighting system which should be less intensive on the GPU and allows for coloured lights and pixel-perfect shading

• Made a few of the puzzles slightly more forgiving

• Made the clickable areas on the potion bench larger to make it easier to drag in elements

• Buffed some reactions which were far too weak in comparison to others

• Fixed some issues with the phantom's darkness effect getting stuck on the screen, Freeze and Levitate's effects lingering around once enemies died, and Alcohol permanently messing up targeting
