Another batch of challenges

Just a small update this week, extending the challenges you can attempt:

  • Challenge: Buy X upgrades after rerolling the shop

  • Challenge: Win the treasure chest jackpot

  • Challenge: Break X pinballs

  • Challenge: Kill X enemies with pinballs

  • Challenge: Kill X enemies with max damage pinballs

  • Challenge: Deal X damage with a single pinball

  • Challenge: Kill X enemies close to the base

  • Challenge: Get X critical hits

  • Challenge: Deal X damage to an enemy with one attack

  • Challenge: Stun X enemies

  • Challenge: Set X enemies on fire

  • Challenge: Deal X knockback damage

  • Challenge: Push X enemies off the level with shockwaves

  • Challenge: Win a run with X empty upgrade slots

  • Challenge: Hit X enemies with one attack

I've probably gone a bit overboard with the challenges early on - you'll activate a load of them on your first run. They need some tuning so they get spaced out a little bit more.

"Win a run with X empty upgrade slots" is a particularly interesting challenge as it forces you to pick and choose your upgrades carefully, and sacrifice empty upgrade slots to boost the few upgrades you do have.

All these challenges are the foundation for the game's progression system. The next update will have the first glimpse of that: a new playable character!
