We're back with a long-overdue update, and it's a big one! It's packed with fixes and updates, and we've even added something new for players and modders.
Master Explorers can now spend their hard-earned treasure on additional weapon upgrades. Mages afraid of spiders can turn on the Arachnophobia filter and face creatures that have fewer legs. Modders can now write action scripts inside the editor to form exciting events. Have you encountered Ghost Ladies disappearing behind the walls? We got it covered!
All that and much more!
ːtreasurepileː New
Additional 7 weapon upgrades and a new shop section added to the game to use the hard-earned treasure from secret hunting
\[Fire Rings] Blaze Surge - 25% chance to trigger Blaze Surge after killing an enemy with Fire Rings, triggering 50% increased attack speed with Fire Rings for 5 seconds
\[Spellstriker] Pierceblast - Normal attack penetrates one additional target
\[Frostweaver] Frost Mastery - Remove ammo cost for the Secondary Attack
\[Pyroblast] Fiery Warmth - Receive 50% less damage from your own Pyroblast explosion.
\[Storm Gauntlets] Lightning Reach - Increase the lightning reach distance by 20%.
\[Faewood Crossbow] Sylvan Afterbite - Killing an enemy with a primary attack has a 25% chance to spawn a poison AOE cloud at the enemy's position (only damaging other enemies).
\[Staff of Chaos] Focus Blast - Decreases the projectile spread by 50%.
Level Editor
Action Script
You can now write action scripts inside the level editor to spawn effects, enemies, activate other objects, hurt or heal the player, wait for a duration or for the player's health to drop below a specific amount, and more! The best part? You can share these scripts with fellow modders!
Settings
New input setting to allow mouse look while playing with the controller.
Arachnophobia Filter - we've heard some of you aren't on the best terms with spiders, so we added a filter that turns them into something else.
ːmagicpiggletː Updates
Saving and loading game progress got another safety layer to prevent profile corruption. This includes a fix for a bug that keeps the game on a black screen when entering it.

Rat Mount look / rotation speed increased
When navigating the menu with the keyboard, the 'F' key is now used for confirmation instead of 'E' to prevent clashes with Next / Previous Tab selection (Q/E).
Minimap navigation updated so it uses gameplay controls instead of a separate, fixed one
If your movement keys are ESDF, then those will be used for minimap scrolling
Toggling minimap mode (and flipping Lore pages) is done by the "Use Consumable" key, and Marker type is changed with Next / Prev Weapon keys.
Level Editing / Modding
Sprite Atlas support added for Custom Decor
Grenade, Special Attack, and Death hand sprites are now moddable
Custom liquid tiles in the tileset will replace original liquid tiles
New "Invisible Switch" type - one-sided.
Connection lines of selected/hovered objects are now shown as thick white lines to easily see them in the mess
All enemies are now moddable
Additional tiles and decor
When using a custom tileset, you can decide for each level in your adventure which tileset it uses - custom or classic.
ːsilverskullpieceː Fixes
Creature counter in some levels decreases after loading the game (usually when blocks that enemies stand on are destroyed)
Moving Walls keep moving after being destroyed (making phantom wall killers out of them)
