51 changes in this update

Added

14 changes

  • Harvest Reaper boss at wave 70: reaps up to three times in a row with crows scattering off every swing, closes rune rings on you, crosses its crow lanes into a grid, and in its dodge phases the arena goes dark so you play by its glowing telegraphs

  • Sugar Serpent boss at wave 80: a long candy body that blocks your shots, with chained lunges that burst into candy shards, double spits, burrowing rumbles and a Candy Rain of gumdrops

  • Sun Idol boss at wave 90: hide behind stone pillars to survive its Solar Flare, while Eclipse crumbles your cover one pillar at a time

  • Broccoli Bulwark elite from wave 31: a shielded tank that blocks shots from the front and charges with a shield rush

  • Spore Matriarch elite from wave 31: plants spore pods that hatch Sporelings and fires poison spores

  • Chili Stalker elite from wave 31: a fast flanker that flame dashes through you and leaves a burning trail

  • Void Eggplant elite from wave 31: lobs gravity wells that pull you in before they implode

  • 11 new unique upgrades, each with a small trade-off: Venom Rounds, Frostbite Rounds, Bounty Hunter, Executioner, Long Shot, Close Quarters, Quickdraw Holster, Overcharge Capacitor, Reactive Plating, Heavyweight Boots and Fireproof Apron

Improved

15 changes

  • The Elite Axe Knight and the Onion Sorcerer are redrawn in the new art style with new walk and attack animations (Options ENEMY ART CLASSIC brings the old look back)

  • Late game scaling past wave 30: shop prices rise a little slower, and bosses from wave 70 on scale more gently so every fight stays winnable

  • Boss Rush keeps its original upgrade pool so leaderboard times stay comparable

  • Damage numbers are centred on the hit, crits pop, and the number on screen at once is capped so big fights stay readable

  • The coin counter bumps when coins land

  • Escape now also closes the leaderboard, achievements, the starting weapon picker and the dev menus

  • A short key guard when the shop, level up or crate screen opens, so a held key can't skip or pick by accident

  • Level up shows how many picks are still queued

  • RESUME shows its ESC key, and the Mythic reveal says which key continues

  • The stats panel shows the SPEED limiter on Move Speed and a sign on Range

  • Numbers use the same thousands separators on every system language

  • Hover feedback on the shop weapon slots, character cards and the crate sell button

  • The Elite Hunter achievement now counts every elite type

  • Patch Up is no longer offered while a boss blocks healing
