v0.8.0 Update

Anita

They say that mushrooms are capable of emotions far more complex than we realize. “They” have never met a specimen like Anita, who is capable of much more emotion than even we are. I would go into more detail, but such items are lost on a crowd of sinners. Fortunately, Anita is here to spore you, which is a hideously painful process that involves mushrooms being shot at you at speeds rivaling algorithmic censorship, but that has also granted me powers beyond all dreams.

…sorry, I was tripping. Anita was born after Rasputin's corpse regurgitated a mushroom that had his same dogged desire to live. She spawns after wave 64, the holiest of mushroom numbers. When she isn't hurtling her grown offspring at you, she'll be releasing waves of spores. Sure, her worst trait is easily her disregard for her own children, but her best quality is the way she looks at you. Become a mushroom today!

Fungus Biome

Like other beings of powerful personality, Anita's presence has begun to warp the land. Springing up everywhere are entire patches of small Anita's, referred to as Smallnitas. Smallnitas can vary in size, and some are large enough to make you think “wait a second, these pennies must be freakin’ enormous.” Many of them congregate together, forming massive colonies that you can now walk around and explore in a brand new biome.

The Developer suggested I add a joke about athlete's foot in regards to this, but there's nothing funny about athlete's foot. It's not even something I want to bring up, especially after the waY҉҉O҉҉U҉ ҉H҉҉A҉҉V҉҉E҉ ҉S҉҉T҉҉E҉҉P҉҉P҉҉E҉҉D҉ ҉B҉҉E҉҉Y҉҉O҉҉N҉҉D҉ ҉Y҉҉O҉҉U҉҉R҉ ҉B҉҉O҉҉U҉҉N҉҉D҉҉S҉ ҉W҉҉R҉҉I҉҉T҉҉E҉҉R҉

ATM

In honor of capitalism (the economic system that was first devised in Pennylooter), we have added ATMs - automated telemetry materials. These materials coalesce into greedy robots who we (in honor of capitalism) have inscripted into constant servitude. They will store your money and dispense it to your little desires.

New Items

Debit Card

You trust us with your money, right? You probably even bought this game twice, which is going straight into the budget for game development and expensive candles. Try depositing $9.99 into an ATM to see the sweet, sweet content that we are allowed to produce thanks to your money - you'll get this shiny debit card, more ATMs, and a subtle sense of pride.

Dev's Blessing

The Developer loves you. As a symbol of that love, he has granted His most dedicated Looters his personal wings. You'll be faster. You'll be able to fly over water. You'll be able to quickly fly over water. The possibilities are endless. Unlock the Completely Untouchable achievement to show us you care. Pennylooter gave you wings.

Rebound Jewel

The edges of reality are more like walls, and this little jewel proves it. By pumping your bullets full of magic chemicals (and magic amphetamines), your ammunition will learn to bounce. They grow up so fast…

Quantum Visor

By playing this game, you have agreed to allow your brainwaves to be uploaded into Pennylooter's super secure servers. We need that brain power for this brand new item: the Quantum Visor. We have finally cracked the code on quantum mechanics after we first invented the concept of “quantum” for this very game, and now you can use it to split bullets into more bullets and pick up more visors to spit out more bullets to pick up more visors… quantum physics is complicated.

Cassidy's Head

Cassidy feels great, thank you for asking. He's even offering up his head for some sweet, sweet greed points, symbolizing the fat cat that is gorged upon by even fatter cats in this beast of capital. With it, enemies will occasionally drop double their usual money rate. All wealth is imaginary, after all, and Cassidy has a mighty strong imagination. Cassidy and Anita were once close allies, until the checkers incident. Following his scattering, she claimed and holds this head, the most holy of Cassidy relics. Defeat her, and me-wowsers, you can look like a psychopath and hold it yourself.

Cassidy's Paw

I know, I know - you haven't had a chance to dress up with enough animal parts. I've got the cure for what ails you - let Cassidy's little foot walk its way into your heart for a speed and damage up. The paws are where cats store their angst, which they feel as a result of not being able to play Pennylooter.

Cassidy's Tail

We are DEDICATED to realism. So, inspired by the time I chased a bunch of people around with a disembodied cat's tail, this orange appendage will petrify the good wits out of the unlucky woodland creatures you are slaughtering. Prove you're worthy of holding the tail by taking out 5,000 (that's 1,000 five times) enemies in a single run.

Cassidy's Brain Cell

This little scumbag never thought a day in his life. This is not to imply he no longer exists - he's FINE, he just fell apart. We've all been there, eh? Only those who have held all of his other bits simultaneously may wield the brain cell.

A spark of feline intellect will increase your critical hit chance, and decrease your chances of resisting laser pointers.

Coupon

Remember the Completely Untouchable achievement mentioned earlier? What if you just don't have it in you? Well, get the Untouchable achievement, and I guess we can give you this coupon instead, which increases likelihood of discounts in shops. Just keep in mind; no one will remember the couponers.

Penny Cannon

What if guns didn't have infinite ammo? What if they used your money? Okay, well, what if you were a seasoned, millionaire capitalist with a fortune of pennies to your name? These pennies have had it too good for too long! Put that fortune to use and become the millionaire you always dreamed of being. Load it all into this fella and show them all that guns don't kill people, but they can be paid to!

Minigun

Some say that Lieutenant Timmy has a personal minigun that was granted to him following his first successful deployment. Some say he once loaded it with his baby teeth when he ran out of bullets. And still others say he would hand it out to whoever could best him in big-boy combat. Me? I would say, “beat Timmy on hard mode, and you'll get his favorite toy.” I keep it simple - like taking a minigun from a baby.

Small Changes & Bug Fixes

• Joystick movement is much smoother now

• Prettier messages and a sound effect when unlocking an item/items

• Unlocking the Chef's Hat now requires defeating Chef Pete once in hard mode instead of defeating him 5 times

• Incoming wave warnings no longer show up if you're holding B to skip the cooldown

• Fixed lag caused by lots of enemy explosions happening at once

• Fixed a crash that could happen when maxing out certain items
