Enemies, new and improved!

All robot minion enemies have been overhauled, redesigned, and made to look more alive with animations and unique powers for (almost) all of them. On top of all the robot minions, a bunch of new biome enemies have also been added. There will be even more creatures to for you to encounter at specific instances during the run.

DPS Meter

You will find a new Sword icon to the right of the screen. This is the new DPS Meter. The DPS meter shows real-time damage stats of all your currently equipped weapons under two categories: Total Damage & Damage Per Minute. Keep it on or flick it on to see how well each of your weapons performs!

New Secondary Objective

Mining objective: Stand within the radius of an ore vein to mine it. You can leave and come back to the same ore vein anytime to finish mining it.

Obstacles

Tired of passing through trees like they are made of thin air? Worry no more! Now you can faceplant yourself on rocks!

You will now find many formations of small and large rocks and water bodies that hinder your movement. Bathing in water during rain is not advised!

Status Indicators

Added different status effect indicators for the player. You will now see a more live feedback to any effect you're currently under, such as shielded, slowed, damage boosted, wet, etc.

Combo Multiplier

Defeating enemies in a short period of time now rewards you with a stacking damage and reload speed buff. Try to stay at the highest combo!

Keyboard & Controller Navigation

All menus and UI should now be fully controllable via keyboard only or controller only.

Sub-stat multipliers

Upon leveling up, each sub-stat of the Upgradeable stats now has a chance to become multiplied by 2, 3 ,or 5. Now you can decide if you want to go for the highest value or what's worth right now.
