Warning: The Makara plays differently than the Void Grimm, so it's good to have an open mind. For example the "Reality Cloak" is a skill that is utterly pointless if you just click around, but can be quite powerful, when you use it in combination with Time Freeze skills. Also do not forget to hit Space, when you need to slow down time!
addedNew Cards: - Cannon - Charge Burst - Charge Debuff - Charge Lance - Charge Shield - Charge Strength - Charge Synergist - Chrono Storm - Chrono Zap - Reality Cloak
addedEnemies: - New enemy: Flagellant - New enemy: Katar - New enemy: Sphinx - Generalized enemies that should make future enemy design easier.
changedChanged Enemies in general, especially stats growth based on difficulty and run progress. - Boss calls for reinforcement several times.
addedNew Mechanics: - Skill effect "Freeze" - Pauses the attack progress of enemies for a while. - Enemy attribute "Evade" - negates one source of damage. Evade "regrows". - Some enemies are "champions". Those are faster, stronger or tankier versions. - Additional personal Highscore list (per ship). - Basic achievements implemented.
addedUI: - Preview of enemies before level start. - New startmenu. - Logbook that lists cards, enemies, achievements.
