Patch Notes

Content

• Six new enemies:
  • 3 new normal enemies, one per zone!
    • Zone 1: CST-7 "Minesweeper"
    • Zone 2: DJA-2 Solar Sail
    • Zone 3: DPL-55555 "Replicator"
  • One new elite for Zone 2: Rail Cannon
  • A new alternate Zone 1 boss: Crystalline Takeover
  • A new alternate Zone 2 boss: Mecha Riggs
• Duncan the skunk, pilot of the Mining Drill, has been upgraded from NORMAL to ELITE enemy.
  • That's because he kills players more often than any other non-boss fight! Watch out for this guy!
• One new common artifact: Chaff Emitters

Bugfixes

• Fixed a graphical bug in the Hardest version of the big crystal fight
• A few smaller fixes on really weird, niche edge cases

Misc

• Renamed a status from "DRAW LESS NEXT TURN" to "SHAKEN"
• Updated credits

Notes

• In the interest of keeping the game's initial learning curve the same, all the new enemies can only show up after you've played or won a few runs. Pre-existing save files that have already done this will already have access to the new enemies.
• This update is live now on Steam!
• Switch players, expect this patch in about a month 😊

• Rail Cannon: All multi-hit attacks now cap at 1x2 instead of 1x3
• Minesweeper: on Hardest, gained +3 hull, +3 shields, but is no longer armored (now +2/+2 compared to normal)
• Replicator: Main cannon starts with +1 damage and can go up to 5 max damage (instead of 4)
• Reworked the card Quantum Quarry's upgrades:
  • A now also retains
  • B has been completely reworked; it instead gives +1 max shard
