Patch Notes

Update 0.03.00

GREEN GRUBS

Green Grubs, are a new permanent currency for unlocks. They drop from bosses and are used to get permanent upgrades/unlock more upgrades. Right now they're work in progress, but you can collect them to your hearts content. They're saved between sessions, so they really mean something.

They come with a nice tracker right above your worms too.

You will get even more Green Grubs from winning. Yes, there will be a wincon soon! Something like defeat 5 bosses -- of course with the option to go endless.

QOL

Enemies can't hide, and neither can you!

Now:

Before:

There's an ant hiding here :)

Easier, safer rooms

I adjusted some rooms to avoid getting hit on entering, and make some maps easier. For example the crazy criss-cross laser beam room now has a wall blocking the bottom laser:

  • Now, rooms get cleared before a boss spawns, and before a shop spawns. I thought it would be fun variety to have them spawn in random rooms, but it's just buggy and hard to work with, sadly.

  • Disable traps (lasers) upon clearing the room.

  • Health pickups can no longer spawn before room 3 (no getting scammed).

  • Significantly reduced the spread of 'Chaingun'.

  • Made 'Bounce' only bounce off obstacles, that way 'Piercing' works better.

  • Added a knockback effect to 'Dash Aura'.

  • On-hits trigger on obstacles again (Sorry I broke this when I fixed 'Bounce').

  • Added sound effect to health pickup spawn (same as upgrade spawn for now), adds just a little bit more enjoyment.

Boss Bar

Yup, added a boss bar. I was debating it, but then I remember TBOI has it, so I figured I should too. Also, the Mantis boss is now called "Meat Harvester."

Upcoming Enemies

There's another boss coming soon called

King of Worms

but

he's really a snake.

It's certainly going to be a lot more of a traditional boss fight than the Meat Harvester Mantis, but Mantis' move-set will be getting some love pretty soon.

There's an anthill coming soon too. Obviously it spawns ants. This will be the first spawner-type enemy.

It's a very early work in progress.

Balance Changes (non-QOL)

Meat Harvester boss moves twice as fast, and is a lot smaller Nerfed 'Top 1%' by a lot (it was way too strong sorry) - It now grants 1% of your worms as damage, per level, instead of 5%.

Other Changes

  • Slightly modified wall texture, and some bugfixes with the sprite sorting on it

  • Adjusted ground color to be darker, just looks better.

  • Fixed upgrade requirements to actually work correctly. My bad.

  • Changed font for numbers to Chewy.

  • Renamed "More AOE" to "Big AOE"
