There are 5 total maps and bosses: GODDESS OF ARACHNIDS, ARACHNE - BOSS OF THE DUNGEON GOD OF THUNDER, ZEUS - BOSS OF THE FOREST DEER GOD, ARTEMIS - BOSS OF RUINS GUARDIAN, CERBERUS - BOSS OF THE VOID ????? - BOSS OF THE LIBRARY Cool cosmetics! I've created quite a few of cool (if i do say so myself) cosmetics to decorate your lil dog. A player can have one of each type of cosmetic; a hat, a trail, and a pet. Pets are special types of cosmetic items that provide you with additional stat boosts, like increased movement speed. message from dev, malgow <3 hi potential players, fyi, this is my very first attempt at an actual pc game! despite that, i am very proud of how far i've come with this project, so i rightfully have developed a massive b…
