Update 2.0: Anomalous Entities

The Anomaly Update is finally here and with it are a great deal of updates which I will list below:

• Anomaly Levels have been added. You can now adjust the game difficulty and climb the ladder of Anomaly levels which will yield harder challenges but also more rewards!

• New Damage Over Time mechanic has been added with associated permanent upgrades options for DOT damage, duration, and tick rates.

• Plasma Shield Equipment has been added. This gives players Thorns and Armor for as long as your batteries last and can be upgraded.

• Medic Drone Equipment has been added. This follows players around and gives constant healing for as long as your batteries last.

• AddedNew Player ClassesZippo and Death's Breath have been added. Both use the new Damage Over Time Mechanic and can be unlocked via the new missions in the Mission Board.

• New Missions have been added to unlock new Classes and Equipment.

• AddedNew Currency has been addedDark Matter. This new currency can only be retrieved by killing Anomaly Squids and Bosses with Anomaly Levels enabled.

• New Prestige Upgrade Menu has been added. Here you can cash in the new Dark Matter Currency to majorly boost your Prestige Levels of your various Player Classes.

• AddedNew Enemy Type has been addedAnomalous Entity. This is the Anomaly Squid which is the core of the new Anomaly Update. He will seek out Dark Matter clusters and gain strength from consuming them. If you allow him to consume more then he will yield more Dark Matter when you kill him. This is a heavy risk reward system.

• Prestige Bonuses have been improved: Damage bonuses are now Double your Prestige Level and Health Bonuses are now Triple your Prestige Level.

• Various Mission Board bugs have been fixed.

• Damage Over Time Permanent Upgrades are applied to G.A.R.L.I.K ability.

I hope you all enjoy the new challenge mode that has been put into play. My next series of updates will hopefully include a Leaderboard so you can show off how far into the Anomaly Levels you've gone! As always, any feedback is appreciated!
