removedCHANGES AND FIXESBetter Dice Shop: Dice stats and quirks are no longer written in incomprehensible riddles. You’ll still have to learn what quirks do, but it’ll all be right on the box, stats and all!

And here’s all the new cool stuff that you’ll get IN ADDITION to everything we had before:

THE GUARDIAN CAMP: Hang out with your buddies at the GUARDIAN CAMP, a hub zone set up by Gimmiko herself in a corner of an unused wing of Gimmick temple! Chat with your friends, watch some TV, read emails, browse the MikoPedia, or just stare at the hauntingly beautiful Shadowblighted Moon!

UNLOCKABLE COLOR PALETTES: Try your luck with the new colour palette gacha, gently hosted by the lovable and original Original Colour Palette Testing And Distributing Character Colin Palette! Gather ZARI by defeating bosses (or randomly from normal enemies) and trade them for a new random colour palette! What are Zari?

NEW AND IMPROVED PEST NEST: Would you rather have 8 pests or 20 pests? Well… Now there’s 18, which is almost 20!!! Pick a pest from a selection of three every time you enter the pest nest! Strategize! STRATEGIZE!!!!

NORMAL & HARD MODES: Can be toggled at any time from the Guardian Camp! Take half-heart damage on normal mode, and start off worlds with slightly simpler waves. On HARDMODE you’ll take full heart damage and waves will start off at maximum intensity right from the get go, but you’ll be rewarded with more Zari from bosses!! Also, some other stuff!!!

also make sure to unlock every art for mikopedia, theres a loooooooooot of good stuff there!!

CHANGES AND FIXES

  • Better Dice Shop: Dice stats and quirks are no longer written in incomprehensible riddles. You’ll still have to learn what quirks do, but it’ll all be right on the box, stats and all!

  • Free Hot Springs: Remember not to drink the water.

  • Speedier Catacombs: Filling up the lucky cat all the way to 100% is now super duper fast!

  • Improved Mikopedia: Characters and shopkeepers, and they all have cards too! You can now also learn what all the gimmicks do while vibing to the mikopedia music!

  • Gimmick Balancing: Some were too good, some were too bad, others literally didn’t work at all and luckily no one ever noticed. Thanks to The Great Gimmick Balance Machine, now everything is good!!

  • Heat System Rework: Common Gimmicks heat up dice way less! Spam ‘em with d2s!

  • Damage System Rework: As in, dealing damage. Now enemies can get hurt from multiple sources all at once, so more gimmicks will actually kill stuff faster!!

  • Performance Improvements: Probably!! Hopefully!! Let me know if your game runs badly SMILE

  • Dice No Longer Get Crushed By Buildings: …and don’t forget the mustard.

did i already mention there's a new hub world?? maybe??

AND PROBABLY MORE STUFF I FORGOT ABOUT!!! OK THAT’S IT STOP READING GO PLAY THE DEMO BYE!!!!!!

SEE YA NEXT JABBERWOCK NIGHT!
