It took a little while to get there, but the second cursed zone and new unlockable character are now live!
I feel like I say this every time I write one of these, but this REALLY is our biggest update so far yet in terms of new content, QoL features, and general larger scale tweaks and fixes.
Here is the full list of changes;

This update adds another cursed zone and character, along with some new features
and more fixes and improvements. In this update we have switched Auto-aim to on
by default for new players, and enabled the new damage numbers. Both can be turned
off in the settings menu, and existing players can choose to enable those options
there too.

The Cursed Tomb Zone
As mentioned above, this new, more challenging re-imagining of the Tomb zone is the second of three "Cursed" versions we plan to add. Each new zone will feature a new playable character and corresponding steam achievements to unlock. The Cursed Forest will be coming soon as part of the next update.
Visible Damage Numbers & HP Bars
These were both common requests that we wanted to address alongside the new content. Zone bosses, mini-bosses and spawners all now have HP bars so you can track how much you're chipping away at them, and all of your damage output is now visible via a scale from low (white), to high (red). These visible damage numbers can be enable/disable at any time via the settings screen.
As always, a huge thank you to everyone that's been playing and enjoying the game so far. If you have any thoughts on the above changes, or just feedback in general, the Steam Community forums are the absolute best place to reach out to us. We read and respond to every one of them, and really appreciate all of it, big and small.
Cheers, have a great week, and we'll see you next time!
