addedGear SystemWe really wanted to have players be able to adjust their playstyles a bit somehow, so we decided to add a Gear System. The Gear System will allow you to select from multiple gear pieces after defeating a boss. These give you powerful playstyle specific bonusses. You can equip up to 4 of these in total.
addedNew Level - Deadwater BeachWe added a beach level. We had to do some interesting stuff for it this time, adding water tiles with a water effect when monsters are on these tiles. Our art pack also didn't include tiles for a beach so we had to art these up ourselves, including the animated water shoreline. This level also includes a new boss with a new mechanic! It's our favourite so far!
addedGhost HammersGhost Hammers are a new type of mechanic which you can get both from upgrades, weapons and gear. You have a chance to hit random enemies with a ghost hammer when attacking. These hammer also copy your on hit effects, so a ghost hammer with a column hammer equiped will also attack in a column for example!
addedMore Bug Fixes and ImprovementsWe also took a look at some other things for this update. Improving stuff visually and fixing bugs all over the place. Tldr summary - Level 3B - Deadwater Beach | 4 new enemies and a new boss - Gear System | A Gear system to customise your playthrough - Ghost Hammer Mechanic | Ghost Hammers that have a chance to hit a random target on hit - More Bug fixes and improvements Enjoy the new update!
