- Update 13.0: Skip Cutscenes + Attack Reworks + Balancing + Enhancements - 18 September 2025
Update 13.0 : Skip Cutscenes + Attack Reworks + Balancing + Enhancements (September 18 2025)For the third day in a row, here’s another major update. This one is packed with tons of balancing changes inspired by feedback from awesome players on the Game Discord! Almost every attack has been reworked, and many items have been adjusted. One of the main goals of this update is to ensure that every stat feels meaningful:For example, Cooldown, Range, and Speed now play a bigger role, creating a much more engaging combat feel and giving a stronger sense of progression during each run. These changes should also improve the game’s overall difficulty balance.HP regeneration has been made a bit harder to obtain as it seemed too easy to reach high HP/sec in recent versions. (It should make Potion Heal, Life Steal, Armor and Dodge more interesting to pick again)This update also introduces the highly…
