addedIntroducing DryadRoaming the great outdoors of the information superhighway is Dryad. They are the first new character added to Delta Light. Their effect allows them to enchant fruit just like Druid does but instead of a temporary boost to the effect, Dryad keeps a portion of the pickup effect for the remainder of the map.

addedInfinite Mode remakeAlthough the infinite mode did what it said on the tin we weren't happy with the variance in experiences it could offer. To help infinite mode stay fresh we added 'Affixes' to the mode. Affixes are stackable effects that randomly occur on the map ranging from a rain of pickups or the addition of huge enemies to a targeted speedup effect or having the map regenerat. The chance these effects occur increase with the brackets just like the overall difficulty of the map. Multiple different and duplicate affixes can spawn.

addedChampion updatesAlmost all characters got minor updates that should make them feel all more in line with eachother. Melon got the biggest update of the bunch with some fresh new effects. When Melon picks up a melon slice he now becoms even bigger and gets a speedup based on how much slices he has. The more melons Melon picks up the longer and effective the boost. This combined with health pickups giving him two melon slices should get him to be a healthy pick!
