Patch Notes

General Gameplay

  • A mysterious portal has resumed appearing

  • Fixed issues with the area and its rewards

  • A new version of the final boss may appear under certain circumstances. Good luck beating this one! (This boss may be replaced with a more unique true final boss at a later date)

  • Players brave enough to complete the game under the maximum level of difficulty will be rewarded with a special indicator on the leaderboards

Balance

  • The Berserker Trait, "Axes of Evil", now has its countdown timer increased by 1 turn when hitting an enemy. This should make the stat requirements for surviving the second area's boss less stringent

Interface

  • The tutorial text should no longer have formatting issues under certain circumstances

  • The Druid and Dragon entries in the Codex now show the proper unlocked state

  • The post-boss score screen now properly displays the PAR and NO DAMAGE bonuses

Other Bug Fixes

  • Players who die before the first boss no longer will register a score of 0 on the leaderboards

  • Killing the sub-bosses during the Fairy Queen had a small chance of causing a soft-lock, this should no longer be the case

Known Issues

  • The time leaderboards were wiped due to a DB upgrade. Given the small number of people finishing the game, this is not worth restoring. Sorry about that!
