Endless Mode, Jungle Map, and Balance Changes!

Endless Mode

Endless mode has finally arrived! After completing a map, simply click the "Continue to Endless" button to start endless mode.

In endless mode, your goal is to survive for as long as possible. While in endless mode, soul generation is reduced, blessings are no longer given at the start of each wave, and many enemy breach modifiers become permanent. Checkpoints are disabled while in endless mode.

I'll be making changes and tweaks to endless mode as feedback comes in so make sure to stop by the discord or the steam forums and let me know what you think!

New Map - Jungle

A brand new map will be replacing Desert as the first map of chapter 4, and Desert will be moved to be the final map of chapter 5.
