Thank you to everyone who dove into Emberfall so far, and for all the kind reviews! This update is mostly about the bosses and the long game.
Bosses
- Every boss has its own arena now: much wider, and built around its attacks with lava pools, crumbling ice, ledges and corner springs.
- The springs throw you a lot higher, right back up to the top ledges.
- Flying bosses get tired. The Broodmother, the Frost Warden, the Ember Wyrm and The Gloom sink to the floor every few attacks. That's your chance to stomp them.
Darkness
- Glut is now called Darkness and has its own selection screen: choose DIVE and pick your level. Normal is always there.
- Beat The Gloom on your highest Darkness to unlock the next one, up to Darkness 10. Every level adds one rule and pays 20% more wax.
Embers of Power
- You always choose from at most 3 Embers of Power. Bosses no longer add an extra card.
- The altar blessing KEEN EYE is now SECOND LOOK: your first reroll after every level is free.
Also
- 13 new achievements: the two deepest worlds, every boss, your first and all candles, all relics, and Darkness 1, 5 and 10.
- The Daily Dive is gone from the title menu, to keep the focus on the main dive and the Chapel.
The full list is under Changes. Have fun in the dark!
