addedStage 1: Added 2 more mini-bosses. The goal is to give new players more chances at legendary loot. Newer players tended to avoid the bosses and let them time out, and were missing out on a core game mechanic by not getting the boss drops.
addedStage 1: Added a few more moments where you feel like you're totally going to die
addedStage 1: The stage boss has a new strategy: wiggle up and down slightly. This masterful counters the player's preferred strategy of standing perfectly still in the tiny gap between lasers.

General

  • Updated the DPS calculation. For the statisticians reading this and wondering how DPS can be calculated multiple ways, consider this example: a bullet with 10 damage hits an enemy with 1 hp. Previous system would count this as 10 damage, but the new system counts this as 1.

  • Additional visual polish

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where increasing legendary drop rate actually decreased drop rate

  • EXP can no longer spawn partially off-screen
