Hi there folks!

Potato Kid team here, bringing you a freshly baked new Talaka build just out of the oven! This build contains dozens of fixes, changes and improvements based on the first week of Beta testing. Thank you so much to our dear beta testers for making this possible!

Here is the change log of what’s in Build 0.8.4.26:

1.Improvements

Crouch & Crouchstrike!!!

Talaka can now crouch to stay away from some of those projectiles! And bonus: she can perform a crouch strike to repel pesky folks getting too close, like that little fiery snake!

Getting Hit & Flow

Changed Talaka’s reaction, physics, and consequences when she takes Body Damage from enemies (collisions with the enemy’s body). Now she won’t be stopped on her tracks when colliding with enemies, but will still take damage. This is designed to keep the game flow faster and offer more freedom of movement overall in combat.

Please note Talaka will still be knocked back and interrupted by enemy attacks.

  • Fixed a few rooms where Talaka could fall into the Void.

  • Fixed a bug where Talaka appeared to be flying after being resurrected.
