New Gadget - Axe-o-lotl
Based on ideas by Silviu Offtopic (The Romanian OO translator), the Axolotl gadget is ready for her rampage! Axe-o-lotl hops onto Dr. Odin, then swings her axe-shaped gills around, slashing the skeletons around you in four different directions!
Axe-o-lotl will finally provide a melee, AoE gadget option.
She can absolutely decimate hordes of skeletons, but this requires you to run head on into danger & dance around to aim each of her attacks!
(Yes, I voiced Axolotl myself. No, the voice recording was not edited at all!)
(Yes, Axe-o-lotl was meant to sound like Jack De Sena)
Axe-o-lotl is unlocked after Toxic Wasteland Level 2-11! If you encounter any bugs while playing, please report them to me on Discord! -------------------------------------------------------------------
Balance Changes
Potion Factory can no longer deploy while you're already tossing a turret onto a tile it's able to occupy
This also means Potion Factory wouldn't squash your turrets anymore, if you dropped a turret right under it as it deploys.
Reworked how the"airborne"state is handled, so that airborne targets still cannot be targetted, but would remain vulnerable to certain projectiles
e.g. if Lionfish's spikes hit a Diver Skeleton while it is jumping in mid-air, the Diver would no longer be immune to those projectiles
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
Added prevention for an exploit where through save editing, someone could cheat on the Speedrun Leaderboard by deleting all but a few turrets, allowing him to start a level with a less-than-full deck
Reported by eagle
Fixed a glitch where during boss fights, the Speedrun panel always displays "Wave 110, 10.45s before next wave"
Remember how anti-snowballing could be prevented if the player is holding too many pearls? Fixed a glitch where the current pearl amount could be calculated erroneously
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Misc Changes
Added 3 new Achievements (for Axe-o-lotl)
Upon return to the game, the map no longer shows a notification dot if you're already inside a biome that's newly unlocked
