Version 1.0.2 Patch notes

Quite a lot has changed since patch 1.0.1. Thank you all for your reports and feedback. We do our best to read everything, while we keep improving the game. Here is the list. Enjoy! Changes since 1.0.1

• Improved performance of a lot of weapons, projectiles and other game elements.

• Optimized and balanced a lot of weapons, for more info, see the ‘Balancing’ section. In short: Generally, the max amount of projectiles on screen have been reduced. So properties like the maximum number of projectiles, splitting and fire rate have been nerfed. To compensate for these changes, damage has been buffed on these weapons.

• When you play on the three highest difficulty levels, the level of the items you find will also increase. (based on kill-percentage)

• The Luck-upgrade increases the chance a weapon has a higher level than the level you found it in (i.e. level 50 normally drops level 45-52 weapons, with maximized luck this is increased this to 50-57).

• You can now change the scale of the combat text in the options menu under gameplay.

• Added area specific loading-screens with a little more background story about the bosses.
