Update v0.93

Below are the patch notes for this update! The next update will likely be the last content-focused update, as the game is approaching its 1.0 update (though I am still planning to update the game further after its full release!). Stay tuned!

Thanks for playing, Toblue

v0.93 Patch notes

Note: Quicksaves will likely not be compatible with this update, so finish any unfinished runs first!

New Additions and Changes

• Overhauled the Challenge Options mechanic (now named Challenge Level). Each Challenge Level adds 1 difficulty modifier to your run. Upon finishing a run, rewards for that level will be unlocked, and the next level will be available. All difficulty modifiers have been re-balanced and are generally less punishing. New difficulty modifiers are designed to encourage more decision-making by the player, rather than simply increasing enemy stats and drawing out battles. Currently, 5 Challenge Levels are implemented (5 more planned!)

• Each active Challenge Level gives +5% EXP bonus

• More details of each level:

  Lvl 1: Damaging statuses deal +1 damage on you (down from +2 damage)

  Lvl 2: Traps are slightly more common and can occasionally obstruct paths (0-2 traps more for floor < 6, 1-3 for floor 6+) (15% to obstruct path, one per floor, always revealed)

  Lvl 3: Gain a random non-damaging debuff on floor start (debuffs are now less severe and last shorter)

  Lvl 4: Shop prices are higher

  Lvl 5: At the start of boss battles, remove one random buff on you (down from two random buffs)
