0.4.0 is the second to last major update before Pit of Ascension is out of Early Access! The total boss and ability count has been upped to a whopping 27, which means even more variety between runs. There's also a super secret boss you'll have to go out of your way to fight- but the battle will be worth the effort! Changelog

  • Added new bosses and abilities

    • Go all-in on Aaron with Cylinder Roll, which increases your attack speed after a roll

    • Bedazzle Archie with the Blink Point, which allows you to teleport to a previously saved location

  • Abilities and bosses must now be unlocked before you can see them in the notes section. Unlock bosses by beating them and abilities by collecting them.

  • There is an icon notifying you if you haven't collected an ability or boss while picking it in the main game.

  • Added random buttons to the boss and ability pages of the notes

  • Added a short intro before the first ability is chosen

  • Fixed various issues with controller input

Next update will be the last major one in early access! You may have noticed there is one boss you cannot yet unlock on the notes page- this will be the final boss that players will face at the end of every run! The mechanics planned for the boss will require a lot of work though, so look out for an update in the future.
