  • Balance
addedBy default, you can only use a class ability once per run. However, you can spend Scrap to permanently upgrade a class ability , either by making the base ability more powerful, or to add extra 'charges' to the ability, allowing you to use it up to 5 times per run. If you were subscribed to the Shattered Planet newsletter , you probably already knew all of this! Plus you got a screenshot preview. Nice. We're looking forward to hearing your feedback on the balance of the abilities, so let us know what you think! Please! P.S. There's only 7 days remaining on the Moon Hunters Kickstarter ! Maybe check it out if you're into mythology, pixel art, or RPGs?
