Korean Translation Thanks to MG2000, Break the Loop is now available in Korean! Many thanks to him for all his hard work. Balancing We've received a lot of feedback about the difficulty of Cataclysm mode.

Elisen: Fluid Combustion: skill cost reduced from 45 to 40 energy. Incendiary Blade: direct damage increased by 10%. Modjo: Marking territory: energy gain increases from 20 to 25 (and 4 charges instead of 5). Hellmut: Crimson cascade: skill cost reduced from 70 to 65 energy. Zoe: House smoke: skill cost drops from 60 to 55 energy. The Soporific Gas now inflic damage. Carmenide: Echo of chaos: direct damage increased by 10%.

Bugs Fixed a bug with text tips during loading screens Fixed a display bug in the credits Fixed a bug with the Condemned that could cause a crash (thanks to Foarte Mișto) Balancing Reduced the damage and health points of all enemies by approximately 10% (for all difficulty levels).

- Patch 1.0.7 - June 20 - 20 June 2024
Hi everyone! Today's patch includes a few bug fixes and a little balancing. Based on player feedback and the data we've gathered, we think Break the Loop is fairly well-balanced: normal mode is relatively manageable, and cataclysm mode offers an interesting challenge. One last thing before the various patch modifications: if you haven't already done so and you'd like to support us, don't forget to leave a little steam review, it'd be a great help to us. Bugs: • Fixed a bug with Carmenide during the Alien Emperor battle. • Fixed a bug that caused a crash when killing certain bosses with a Bomberman capsule bomb. Balancing: • The Brute and Glass Cannon capsules offer advantages in exchange for a slight penalty but are also the least appreciated in the game. To make them more appealing, we are reducing the penalties by 5% without affecting their bonuses. • Yot: nerf of 15% damage to his To…

Bug fix with the achievement How Much?!? which was more difficult to obtain than expected (thanks to Marcos). Tooltip error fix with the Cheeky capsule (thanks to 寂寞的哲学家).

- Patch 1.0.4 - May 28 - 28 May 2024
Bugs: Fixed a bug with the bear event where the game could crash when the bear came to help the heroes. (Thanks Artosor). Fixed the negative Burn effect that could appear with the Bonfire capsule. (Thanks Skoflt). Fixed the No Grudges capsule, which could cause strange bugs if it was removed and duplicated on allies. (Thanks to 寂寞的哲学家) Balancing/Bug: The passive ability "Enraged" of Upery, which allowed gaining Ovithropy charges, caused too many bugs that we couldn't reproduce. Ultimately, we decided to rework it and vary the effects depending on whether you are in Sheep form or Human form.
- Patch 1.0.3a - May 24 - 24 May 2024
Bugs : Fixed a bug that prevented the recently added Italian language from being available (thanks Alessandro).

Bugs: Fixed a bug where the hero replaced by a dialogue event would not return (thanks Skoflt) The game now saves your animation speed choice (thanks Marcos) Fixed a bug with the Hatching Capsule when exiting and re-entering a combat (thanks 寂寞的哲学家) General Balancing: Protection now reduces damage by 25% instead of 20%. Yot Soghoth will transmit less corruption when taking affliction damage, and the corruption decreases more after a heal in Cataclysm mode. Albrecht: Passive 1 Protector: also applies Evasion 1 on an ally who becomes Weakened Passive 5 Ascendant: evasion bonus increased from 10% to 15% Skill 3: Energy cost reduced from 55 to 45. Skill 6: Damage increased by 10%. Foxman: Passive 1 Phenomenon: number of buffs increased from 2 to 3. Passive 3 Avenger: Also gains Armor 1…
