BALANCE Update v1.1
Game Saves
Finally! Your run is saved every time you visit the map. No more rage over having lost your evening's work trying to beat the game, only to accidentally press escape and lose all your work. You can choose to start a new game at the menu instead of continuing a run.
Update Checker
The game now automatically checks for updates. If it out of date, click the version to be taken right to the game page so you can download the new update. Don't worry, your save will be available in the next update as well!
Item Balances
Everything should feel better. Your item drops should be better, but enemies get harder as well.
Rarity
Introducing new rarity tiers!
- Common
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
- Mythic
As you get higher into the later stages of the game, your chances of getting legendary or mythic items increase. The new rarity system should balance out a lot of the loot and give you better loot at opportune moments.
Forging
Forging always gives you the same items based on the items you put in! That means that if you liked a forge you got in a previous run, you can forge that same item again provided you have the same items as inputs.
Tech
Tech are a new addition to the game, with their primary purpose being passive modifiers for your island. Increased shield generation, increased max weapons, decreased cooldown time, all of these can drop from enemies and treasure. They do have mass, so watch your island's weight while using these.
Dodging
Some tech and items give you a higher dodge chance. When your island gets hit, there is a chance for your island to dodge it, negating the damage entirely. Your shield is very large, so shots fired at it can't dodge. Some weapons, like missiles, never miss, so you might want
Critical
Sometimes, the stars line up and your shots goes critical. Critical shots are indicated by an increase in particles and deal double the damage of normal shots. Adding weapons increase the chance of dealing critical shots.
