v0.4.1 - Refactors & Improvements

Last time I said I will start adding more relics and stuff, but I needed to make some improvements first, so this is for the next update instead.

v0.4.1 - Refactors & Improvements

Major changes

• Change all keyboard/mouse icons to my own in pixel art

Astro refactor

I was not satisfied with the kit of the astro, it was weird, so I make some changes. First passive:

• Remove the homing chance

• Instead of spawning star on the player, spawn them on the nearest enemy

The second passive has completly changed:

• When a star hit an enemy, it has a 5/7/9/11/15% chance to spawn a Star Fragment, that will be collected by the player

• For each Star Fragment, it increase by 0.5% the speed, by 2% the damage of stars and has a chance to spawn stars when hitting enemies

• Lost 85/80/75/70/50% of the Star Fragment when leaving a fortress

Samuraï refactor

I made his active ability do a fast dash to the mouse position, hitting any crossed enemies using the main weapon and decreasing the cooldown by 5% per hits And I changed the second passive to shoot around the player at the end of a dash

Trails

Make trails independent from projectile and can be applied everywhere. They didn't disappear instantly when a projectile hit and stay until all the trace is finished. All trails have been improved to look better, like the one for the Soul Sword projectile.

Color Aura and the impact of color

Make each fortress be able to force their color into all objects, the impact is reduced every floor clear. The color aura around the player restitute the original color of all objects around him, repelling the fortress color. The color catalyser now really absorb the color of the room and need to have color in the room to be activated

Refactor color hearts

I added the Thundering Heart and remake the Thorny Heart to give unique bonus and consume ability Thundering Heart make you immune to thunder and give a buff when you touch one, gain a passive 30% speed Thorny Heart make you immune to poison pools (will be in future green color) and give a buff when you touch one, gain a passive 30% refire

• Added Overgrown: Increase by 15/25/40% Aoe Range and by 5/8/15% Aoe Refire
