changedWhen the game was initially fully released in December 2024, I thought I had done all I could as a developer. But then, as time went by, after I played multiple challenging games that ignited my competitive-creative spirit (looking at you, Silksong and Angeline Era), I just wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to make something that even I can't comfortably approach as a creator. I wanted to be on (or over) their level in terms of how I can push the limit of the set game mechanic to a comical degree.
changedDifficulty is such an enchanting thing. For most people out there, it wouldn't be a comprehensible idea that I'm making an even harder challenge for a game that got even less than 1% of the players who finished the Ascended Reaper difficulty. But the thing is, like many cases, human greed is never-ending, and so is my willingness to develop things that I already called "finished".

Besides, the important thing is that some people BEAT the game on Ascended Reaper because they loved the game so much. I believe this update would be a nice love letter for those people.

Background arts in 6-1 and 6-2 are updated with more details.
The boss of Stage 10-3 got a different color of projectiles.
Changed the damage system of the player. From now on, when you are getting the DoT damage (via lava or poison clouds), you can get damaged by other types of attacks and get knocked out. (previously, it had a short invincibility time, which caused unintended attack misses from the enemies)
Additional Achievements according to the new update.
