Thank you for all the support you have shown for the full release of version 1.0!
We have continued improving the game based on the wide range of feedback you have shared while playing.
As part of that effort, we have prepared our first update: the ‘Turbo Run Update’. (Version 1.1.0)
We know that many of you are very busy. That is why we have compressed run times as much as possible and greatly increased item rewards, allowing you to grow faster than before.
1. Greatly Shortened Run Times
Run times for normal stages, Chaos Dungeon, and Warped Floor have been greatly shortened, allowing you to clear runs faster.
- Normal stage run time reduced by 25%. Example: a run with a previous time limit of 10 minutes → adjusted to 7 minutes 30 seconds.
- Chaos Dungeon and Warped Floor run time reduced by 50%. Example: a run with a previous time limit of 10 minutes → adjusted to 5 minutes.
- The total number of enemies that appear during a run remains the same.
2. More Rewards
More items will drop, and higher-grade items will appear more frequently. In particular, Magic Jewels and Runes will appear up to 10 times more often than before.
- Magic Jewel and Rune drop chances in normal stages increased by up to 10 times.
- Magic Jewel and Rune drop chances in Chaos Dungeon and Warped Floor increased by 10 times.

3. Faster Run Leveling
You can now select 1 ‘Active Skill’ in the Lobby and use it immediately during a run. Also, multiple ‘EXP shards’ will now spawn at the start of a run.
- Start a run with 1 ‘Active Skill’ already owned.
- After clearing Floor 3, you can select the ‘Active Skill’ to use in the run through the ‘Mysterious Translator’.
- Multiple ‘EXP shards’ are generated at the start of a run, allowing faster leveling.
4. Smoother Game Modes
Chaos Dungeon climbing now offers more choices. We are changing the rules to remove dull sections and make gameplay smoother.

- Chance for blue EXP shards to spawn in Boss Arena increased by 67%.
- Improved visibility of dropped Magic Jewels.
