Version 0.3.3 Phantom Dodge The fourth dungeon is open: dark cold stone rooms with faint violet cracks and crystal clusters growing in the corners and along the walls. 24 modifications

Added

  • The fourth dungeon is open: dark cold stone rooms with faint violet cracks and crystal clusters growing in the corners and along the walls.
  • New enemies: the Shard Lizard that bursts into shards after death, the Prismatic Moth that fires three slow shards, the Resonator, a tough brawler that learns to charge a shockwave in the deeper rooms and the Crystal Colossus that slams a line of crystal spikes out of the floor ahead of it.
  • The Crystal Leviathan boss charges across the arena, burrows, raises crystal lines, drops shard pillars, sheds its chest armor and opens its core.
  • Four new ingredients and four new dishes: Prismatic Cream, Deep Jelly, Resonant Roast and Heart of the Depths.
  • Phantom Dodge: press Shift for an instant dash that no attack can catch, leaving violet phantoms behind.
  • Phantom Dodge unlocks in the skill tree from the third dungeon, with upgrades for its cooldown and distance.
  • On a gamepad, Phantom Dodge is on B.

Improved

  • The recipe book, skill tree, dungeon guide and daily tasks are now fully playable with a gamepad, no cursor needed.
  • In the skill tree the D-pad jumps between skills, A buys, the right stick moves the tree and the triggers zoom.
  • Jumping in the Shelter no longer skips presses.
  • The selected skill now stands out with a glow and a pulsing ring.
  • The skill tree sits on light, sharper parchment so skills and links read clearly even zoomed out.
  • Hovering a skill shows in the stats panel what it will change, with the new value in green.
  • Once your party has reached a dungeon's boss, the guide offers to go straight to the boss fight and skip the rooms.
  • Boss health is now a wide bar with the boss name at the bottom of the screen.
  • Gnilotsvet's egg health bars are drawn on top of its body, so they are always visible.
  • Gnilotsvet fights in rounds now: after an attack series its eggs open for 12-15 seconds and it does not attack at all; break one egg the first time and two after that to make it close and attack again.
  • Gnilotsvet also hits softer, winds up longer, its eggs break faster and it summons fewer caterpillars.
  • Breaking out of a spider cocoon or stone takes half as many presses, and progress fades much slower.
  • Bosses now appear in the open middle of their room instead of sometimes inside a wall.
  • The beetle now spreads its shell and buzzing wings, paws the ground before the charge and flaps hard while ramming.
  • Root Shieldbearer: after slamming its shield it stays in place facing the fissure until it closes, leaving its back and sides open.
  • Root Shieldbearer: turns much slower, and its shield covers a narrower arc, so attacks from behind and from the sides deal full damage.

Fixed

  • Fixed other players not seeing the attack warnings of third dungeon enemies.
Version 0.3.2 More Hearts New boss of the third dungeon: Gnilotsvet, a giant carnivorous root flower waiting at the end of the Root Catacombs. 46 modifications

Added

  • New boss of the third dungeon: Gnilotsvet, a giant carnivorous root flower waiting at the end of the Root Catacombs.
  • It has more than one form, many attacks and a few surprises. Figuring out how to bring it down is up to you.
  • The beetle now winds up and charges across the room until it hits a wall, then stays dazed for a moment.
  • The root shieldbearer now slams its shield into the ground, leaving a crack in the floor for a few seconds: it hurts, slows anyone who steps on it, and the shieldbearer steals that speed for itself.
  • When the crack ends it slams shut: everyone near it is pulled onto the line, hit and slowed.
  • The biting flower now has a single attack: a vine lash it clearly winds up, with a marked danger zone, and a shorter reach you can step out of in time. It strikes where it aimed and no longer turns to follow you.
  • Two more heart upgrades: one next to the saw for the second dungeon, one deeper in the damage branch for the third.
  • The skill tree shows a stats summary: hearts, hit damage and speed, crit, range, move speed, sell price and every ability you own. It is collapsed by default: click its title to open it.
  • When you open a teammate's skill tree, their tab lights up in their color and the stats summary opens with their numbers next to yours: whoever has more is green, whoever has less is red.
  • A red arrow at the screen edge points to the boss when it is off screen.
  • A gold arrow at the screen edge points to the door that leads on to the next room when it is off screen.
  • Teammates show their ability cooldowns under their names, with a clock-style shade that sweeps away as the ability recharges.
  • The respawn and "can't attack yet" countdowns are now a big number in the middle of the screen.
  • Custom mouse cursor.
  • A player who just respawned and can't attack yet glows yellow.
  • Sprint in the lobby: hold Shift, or press the left stick on a gamepad.
  • Spider eggs sometimes drop a spider gland when destroyed.
  • The third dungeon has its own music.
  • New sounds for bats and the goblin healer's heal.
  • New sounds for the Spider Mother: roar, leg strike, web spit and the flying cocoon.
  • The Spider Mother's leap and ceiling drop now kick up a burst of dust.

Improved

  • Purple Lightning upgrades are now Golden Lightning: a lucky strike turns gold, thicker and brighter, and hits for at least triple damage.
  • Plague Pulse lightning is brighter and wider, with a bigger spark burst on impact.
  • Plague Hammer cooldown is now 6 seconds, and each fire rate upgrade cuts 1 second, down to 2.
  • Plague Saw cooldown is now 8 seconds, and each cooldown upgrade cuts 1 second, down to 4.
  • Abilities you have unlocked now work in every dungeon: the hammer bought in the third dungeon also works when you go back to the first.
  • Melee enemies now wind up before biting: damage lands mid-animation, and stepping away in time dodges the hit.
  • The root shieldbearer's shield blocks almost all damage while it is raised.
  • Third dungeon attack warnings on the floor are now a single faint band or a thin outline instead of many red lines.
  • You can no longer run ahead past the next uncleared room: doors beyond it stay shut until it is cleared, so the party stays together.
  • Doors back into rooms you have already left stay shut: the way only leads forward, with side rooms along it still open.
  • Healing hearts no longer vanish right after a room is cleared: they stay until the fight in the next room starts.
  • The skill tree is now drawn on old parchment with runes instead of a plain brown background.
  • Upgrades that only open in later dungeons now cost a price that fits that dungeon: third dungeon upgrades start at 25 billion coins and double with every level, fourth dungeon upgrades start at 25 trillion.
  • Hammer and saw cooldown upgrades now show the real cooldown in seconds.
  • The hammer branch is now called Plague Hammer, and the hammer, saw, pulse and blades unlocks describe how they actually work.
  • The runner now carries ready servings to the seasoning station first when you have a rare reagent, and to the counter otherwise.
  • Royal Roast (the last recipe of the second dungeon) now uses the goblin healer's royal spices instead of spider glands.
  • The last recipe of the third dungeon now uses the root shieldbearer's root heart instead of larval fat.
  • On a gamepad only the right stick turns your character; the left stick just moves.
  • In the lobby the camera turns on its own, and the character faces where it walks.
  • Fever now lasts 10 seconds instead of 3, so it is still active when you reach the next enemies.
  • Dungeon music is twice as loud.
  • Better frame rate in the third dungeon: ambient spores and dust only drift in rooms you can see.
  • Better frame rate in all dungeons: wall torches no longer cast shadows, and small floor clutter in the third dungeon no longer casts shadows.

Fixed

  • Fixed two upgrades overlapping in the tree.
Version 0.3.1 Root Catacombs & Hopping Toads The third dungeon opens its roots, poison toads learn to hop, and new players finally get a proper tutorial. 40 modifications

Added

  • The third dungeon opens its roots, poison toads learn to hop, and new players finally get a proper tutorial.
  • The third dungeon, the Root Catacombs, is open: beat the second dungeon's boss to unlock it.
  • The Root Catacombs are overgrown: cracked dusty floors, grimy walls wrapped in roots, patches of dirt, burrows and ivy, with spores and dust floating in the air.
  • The third dungeon has its own creatures: plague caterpillars, biting flowers, beetles and root shieldbearers.
  • Biting flowers stay rooted in place, bite anyone who comes close and lash out with their vines further away.
  • Beetles gather themselves and rush forward in a short dash.
  • Root shieldbearers block most damage from the front with their shield and charge at you with it raised: hit them from the side or back.
  • Third dungeon creatures have their own attack effects: vine lashes, sparks off the shield, dust behind charges and splashes on bites.
  • New ingredients from the third dungeon: larval fat, predatory petal, beetle carapace and root heart.
  • New third dungeon dishes: Larval Stew, Predatory Salad, Carapace Ragout and Root Infusion, with their own models and pictures.
  • A new game now starts in the Shelter with a step-by-step tutorial: pick a recipe, cook, collect, sell, buy a skill and head out with the guide.
  • The dungeon opens once the Shelter tutorial is done; an arrow shows where to go at every step.
  • New Shelter features like the seasoning station, the runner and the daily chest get a short introduction when they first appear.
  • You can now look at what your teammates have learned: switch between players with the tabs above the skill tree.
  • When you fall in the dungeon you see a countdown to your respawn, and after getting up a countdown until you can attack again.
  • The second dungeon has its own music track.

Improved

  • Poison toads now hop around the room and keep spitting poison between jumps.
  • Poison toads hop sideways to keep their distance and leap after you when you hide behind a wall.
  • Spiders no longer show up in the deeper rooms of the second dungeon, just like rats in the first one.
  • While the Plague Rat calls down falling rocks it stomps in place: it cannot be hurt and every stomp knocks back anyone who gets close.
  • Rocks dropped by the Plague Rat now stay on the floor for 10 to 15 seconds and block your way.
  • The Plague Rat roars when the fight starts, at each new phase and before its attacks, and its stomps shake the ground with a heavy thud.
  • The plague hammer is now thrown on demand with the right mouse button (LT) instead of on its own timer, aimed at the enemy closest to where you look.
  • The plague hammer now swings down onto its target instead of spinning, hits a wider area and slows enemies where it lands instead of knocking them toward you.
  • The plague hammer slam now cracks the floor with glowing fissures, sends out a shockwave and throws stone debris.
  • Plague Blades moved to the F key (D-pad up).
  • The recipe book is redrawn as an old leather tome with aged pages, gold corners and ribbon bookmarks.
  • Every dish now has a short description, and the recipe shows how many of each ingredient you have against how many it needs.
  • The guide's dungeon picker is now a leather book too: dungeons with pictures on the left, the chosen one's ingredients and a Set out button on the right.
  • Gathering the party for a dungeon is simpler: you just wait for the others, and press E to cancel with a confirmation.
  • While your party is fighting in one room, doors to other uncleared rooms stay shut, so nobody can run ahead of the fight.
  • Blood, bones and egg sacs in the second dungeon are now scattered randomly instead of repeating tile by tile.
  • Corner cobwebs in the second dungeon now hang in the actual corners of the rooms.
  • The dungeon map is now turned the same way as your screen: up on the map is up on the screen.
  • The dungeon timer now counts down in real seconds in every dungeon; deeper dungeons simply start with fewer of them.
  • Fewer stutters when many enemies die at once and smoother crowded fights.

Fixed

  • Fixed the Spider Mother walking at you and attacking while the camera was still showing her.
  • Fixed enemy names hiding behind their health bar when you target them.

Removed

  • B closes windows, goes back in menus and leaves the pause menu; A confirms tips and skips the intro.

  • Health upgrades are now at the start of the skill tree: buy Attack Range to unlock More Health, then gain up to two extra hearts (five in total) in dungeon 1.
  • Abilities now open one dungeon at a time: Plague Pulse in dungeon 1, Plague Saw in dungeon 2, Hammer in dungeon 3 and Plague Blades in dungeon 4. The skill tree shows which dungeon unlocks a locked ability, and the ability bar shows the same. Skills you already bought stay yours and start working once you reach their dungeon.
  • The Plague Saw skill moved deeper into the skill tree: it now appears only after the third damage upgrade, so it is not visible in dungeon 1.
  • Enemy hits now cap out at 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 hearts in dungeons 1 to 4, so more health never makes fights trivial.

  • The cauldron now bubbles and steams while a cure is brewing.

  • Spider bites wrap you in webs that slow you down for a few seconds, with cobwebs creeping in at the screen corners.
  • Poison toads barely move: they puff up their throat before each spit and leave poisonous puddles where it lands.
  • Plague bats swoop in, bite and fly off, then come back for another pass.
  • Goblin healers keep behind the pack and raise their staff to summon a green cloud that heals them and every enemy nearby, except spider nests.

  • The Plague Rat throws out more rats and hits harder with its charge, tail swipe and slime.
  • At low health the Plague Rat slams the ground three times around itself in a wide circle, and anyone caught in it is slowed.

  • The boss room always has at least six crates and barrels that each drop a heart.
  • The boss charge warning now shows only arrows pointing where it will run, without the wide lane.
  • Rats now walk with coordinated steps and a moving tail, and lunge with a bite animation when they attack.

  • No regular enemy can take more than one heart with a single hit any more.
  • Enemies now arrive in small packs over time instead of pouring into the room all at once.

  • Plague slugs now make an audible sound when they jump and land.
  • Crates and barrels drop hearts more often: 40% instead of 25%.
  • Rat tails on the floor are one and a third times bigger than before.
  • Dropped ingredients no longer glow with a light or a ring on the floor: soft sparkles in the ingredient's color now drift up around them instead, so they are easy to spot without lighting up the floor.
  • Dungeon floors across all four Plague Cellars are now a varied mix of stone tiles instead of one repeating pattern.
  • Dungeon walls now mix several styles per Cellar — brick, smooth stone, masonry and ruins — instead of one or two repeating types.
  • Every player now gets their own ingredient drop from each enemy killed — clear 11 rats as a pair and you both get 11 tails.
  • Ingredients dropped for a teammate stay on the floor until that teammate picks them up.
  • The cook now stands behind the cauldron, facing the kitchen, and you cook by using the cauldron itself.
  • The seller is gone: recipes are now chosen at a recipe book lying on the table.
  • The shelter floor is now a varied mix of stone slabs, each turned a random way, instead of one repeating pattern.
  • The shelter walls now mix four brick patterns piece by piece instead of one pattern per side.

  • Fixed enemies biting joined players from a distance.
  • Fixed auto-attacks and abilities of joined players missing enemies inside their attack cone.

  • Fixed some players occasionally getting two copies of their own patient queue, doubling it to 26 patients.
  • Fixed an invisible wall at the serving table: you can now walk through it until you hire the server.
  • Fixed a bought heart sometimes staying grayed out after loading into a fresh run.
  • Cures now show their own recipe icon everywhere: on the serving table and sell counter prompts, the seasoning window, cook-a-cure tasks and the daily sell-cures task.
  • Fixed the dungeon hint: it no longer promises ingredients from crates or E interactions, and explains that abilities unlock in the skill tree.
  • Fixed the carried cure name running into its count, and the carried cure now shows its own recipe icon.
  • Fixed the enemy health number sometimes clipping, sitting off-center or blending into the damage trail — it now sits centered and easy to read.
  • Fixed blood leech spit being too small to see.
  • Footsteps and hits on dungeon grates and the Plague Saw now sound like metal instead of a generic surface.

Removed

  • Removed the server standing at the serving table — the cook puts cures on the table and you carry them yourself until you hire one.
