Item modifiers

Consumables sold in special rooms or vaults now have a random chance to be modified with either Temporal or Magic. Item modifiers are only accessible past room 30. They have a 1/32 chance to spawn with a modifier, but the chance can be changed in Sandbox Mode.

Temporal

  • 0.5x the cost
  • The item is lost after the next special room.

Magic

  • 1.5x the cost
  • Makes the consumable item reusable every world.
  • (The more expensive an item is, the less likely it is to gain the Magic modifier.)

More item modifiers are planned to be released in future updates.

UI changes

Stats menu

  • Updated iconography for the stats menu: each stat no longer uses emojis. This also includes all status effects.
  • The icon and text color for any held weapon adapts based on the type of weapon and the elemental damage of the weapon.
  • When you gain walkspeed, jumppower, strength, defense, vitality, luck, or block, the stat display will have a short animation.
  • When you gain circuits, the circuit icon will have a rotating animation.
  • When you lose circuits, the circuit icon will turn red for a moment.
  • Hovering over a stat gives you a short description of what the stat does. (This also includes some other miscellaneous elements like the Hit Counter and Panic Button.)
  • Hovering over the text for melee weapons, ranged weapons, spells, and multi-use items will give information related to the item.
  • Status effects are sorted alphabetically in three groups: positive effects first, followed by negative effects, and finally effects with no alignment.
  • Hovering over an ability gives you the name of the ability along with the description of the ability, reusing the code for the rest of the hover functionality.
  • Shopkeepers stat is now invisible in the special stats menu until one shopkeeper Friendly Droid is killed.

New items

Tutorial rework

The tutorial world (Wicked Wasteland) has been reworked. The new tutorial attempts to teach players how to use shiftlock, the difference between slashing and lunging, how to fight Droids, and basic gameplay mechanics. Signs are no longer used from room-to-room, and better methods of teaching the player are attempted. The starting room is also different for the tutorial.

Miscellaneous changes

  • Alignment keys added. Press </, to rotate 45 degrees left, and >/. to rotate 45 degrees right.
  • Bat Wing now gives five additional strength for every world past World 4.
  • The Magic Die utility item has been removed in favor of Bag O’ Dice.
  • The Droid Remote utility item has been removed in favor of Attack Remote.
  • Burning Coil, Freezing Coil, and Golden Shield now give the ten-room resistances when dropped, instead of when used. This is to prevent accidental usage of the item.
  • Slingshots and crossbows are no longer automatically destroyed if they gain ammo every room.
  • Daffodil Seed renamed to Dandelion Seed.
  • The training dummies in the lobby have been replaced to match the Wicked Wasteland dummies.
