• Minor Update 0.2.12 - 16 April 2026

  Tentacle adjustments: Several tentacles have had their scaling brought back in line as it was still getting out of control. Glass Cannon Head Fix: The Glass Cannon head had a 10% increase on special attack after upgrading at Tally’s, which spiraled everything out of control. This has been corrected to the intended value. Greed Gremlin Gold Carry adjustment: Gold carry amount with Greed Gremlin has been reduced by 50. Total is now 200. Beach Collider Fix: Adjusted colliders at the beach so the axe no longer flies off and disappears occasionally. Weapon Bug Fix: Fixed a bug where weapons could stop working during daytime when dodge rolling into an attack. Chopsticks Laser Adjustment: Chopsticks laser now deals more damage per tick, but the tick speed is slower.

This patch has many nerfs and balance changes as it was possible to pretty much break the game earlier. A huge thanks for all the detailed feedback on the discord!Knives reworked: Projectile upgrades removed. Instead the upgrade makes enemies bleed out twice as fast. AoE projectiles removed.

Instead of buying randomized upgrades, you now directly upgrade the body parts you selected before being birthed.The old system made upgrades feel disconnected from your actual body. We think this version makes finding body parts and upgrading them much more fun, just the way it should be. We have been having a lot of fun playtesting and there is much more to come! Body Parts, Now Condition-BasedWe have added and changed a lot of the body parts for the better. Body parts used to be mostly stat increases. That felt like something was missin…
