AI

  • New enemy: shield police. These police spawn as the game progresses. They are currently the only enemy in the game with 4 hearts (3 for the shield, plus 1 for the character).

  • Angels now have an improved health bar.

Weapons

  • Weapons now have specified damage rather than every power attacking dealing 3 damage. This creates more balance and adds for more options in the power attack category.

  • New fast attack weapons: Sickle, Bonesaw, and Pocketknife. The old Pocketknife was replaced with the Shiv.

  • New power attack weapons: Pitchfork, Trident, and Scythe.

  • The Pitchfork and Trident can one-hit shield police.

  • Weapons are now only available at certain levels to give the game better progression.

Special Abilities

  • Added new special abilities, which are unlocked through the achievements like perks.

  • Four special abilities have been added: Sidekick, Rage, Unkindness, and Vitreous.

  • When purchased, these can be activated by pressing (S) or (DOWN ARROW).

Performance

  • Added the setting to disable blood particles to increase performance.

Perks

  • Added the perk 'Out of the Park' which doubles knockback on enemies that don't die in one hit.

  • Added the perk 'Special' which reduces the time for special abilities to cool down from 30 seconds to 25.

  • Added a new perks menu.

Other

  • New stat tracking that compares total kills to the population of every country in the real world.

  • Redesigned the user interface to not look so ancient.

  • Kill counts are far more accurate than before.

  • An amazing new soundtrack by Inamic.

  • A load of bug fixes.
