Introducing Sozzy the Sorcerer

Meet Sozzy the Sorcerer, a new NPC in the game, located in his own dedicated area within the hub. Sozzy's Crafting Table allows players to modify runes in three different ways:

Combine

  • Combine three green or blue runes to create a new rune

  • Combining green runes may yield a blue or even a rare purple rune

  • Combining blue runes may result in a purple rune

  • The cost of combining is based on the rune's base price

  • The resulting rune is added to your collection for future use

Split

  • Split blue or purple runes to obtain two to four new runes of a lower rarity

  • Splitting blue runes can yield up to four green runes

  • The cost of splitting is determined by the rune's base price

  • The obtained runes are added to your collection for future use

Fuse

  • The game-changing feature! Fuse three runes to create a legendary item called Runic Conflux with combined effects

  • The Runic Conflux is immediately available in your inventory for the next run

  • The cost of fusing is based on the rune's base price

  • You can still select three runes before each run even with a Runic Conflux, but only one Runic Conflux can be active at a time

  • The Runic Conflux allows for incredible combinations that can skyrocket your score like never before

Other Enhancements

  • A complete overhaul of the user interface, making it easier to navigate between options like Skills, Passives, Items, Achievements, and Medals

  • Right-click to reset points in the Skill and Passive trees

  • Visual improvements for Sir Elo the Wise's Rune Selection, inventory items, achievements, and medals

  • New indicators for unlocked game elements and red points to guide players

New Bonus Stage

Added a new red Bonus Stage, which shrinks the player to half the size for 10 seconds.

New Hats

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where drops from destroyed wooden crates were not immediately collected

  • Fixed an issue where luck would not affect the rarity of item drops in runs

  • Fixed an issue where the passive skill "Stage Distance" would affect the transition between stages negatively

Developer Message

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all players who have been a part of the HIGhSCORE journey. It fills me with immense happiness to see my creation bring joy to others. I greatly value your feedback and am committed to enhancing the player experience for both new and existing players. Thank you for keeping the game alive and thriving. Enjoy the update!
