This patch includes some preliminary changes before the Halloween Update, as well as further balancing and bug fixes.

Cauldron Shop Changes

• Increased the pool of tradeable and purchasable Relics from 20 to 56 (!)

• Full, Jelly, and Glass Hearts can now be bought for Protoplasm and Apples. More details about Apples can be found below.

• Increased Tradeable Relics to 5 up from 3

Balance Changes

• Reduced Beri's Land (and implicitly Water) speed

• Lowered Lantern experience gain rate (again)

• Reduced all Player Character's hurtbox height by 5%

• Added a 5% variance to all enemy speed and max health

• Greatly reduced Relic and Chest drop chance from enemies, ideally compensated by the new Cauldron Shop

• Reordered Thirteen's pickup priority

• Beri's Frenzy's area of damage and rate of damage was reduced

• Increased boss health and shoot interval

Game Features & Mechanics

• Apples are no longer a family of Relics. Apples are now a temporary resource like Protoplasm.

• Apple Trees are the basic way of obtaining apples. The player must wait for the tree to grow and then stand within its range to harvest the apples.

• Protoplasm Mushrooms spawn at the start of each Night and add a new way of obtaining Protoplasm.

• Added Chalkboard to the Hub. It allows you to see the game's supporters.

• Added Gramophone to the Hub. It allows you to play songs featured in the game.

Bugfixes

• Several Pickups were not being cleaned up at the end of the Run

• A few Character upgrades were not being properly removed at the end of the Run.

• The player could zoom out outside of the level (i.e.: the Hub) leading to unexpected visuals

• Character Upgrades were erroneously stacking after Retry/Back to Menu

• Standardized Hub Menu positioning

• Fixed acceleration problems in Flaming Skull family

• Correctly toggle surrounding clouds depending on rain conditions during level

Known Issues

• Ectoplasm indicator not updating properly after failing a daily computer game

• Some raids do not stop when the game pauses due to leveling up a character or weapon

• Final boss music may not play under unverified circumstances
