In this patch, we extend the playability of this game as well as improve the quality of life during play. In this update we: Added A notification above the player During Secret finding, Weapon leveling, all door unlocking. Added Curses. We now show the Stack Total in game on the item panel. The sigil is now free, removing the "noob tax" Keep track of how many times the player has "Gotten out alive", added that tracker to the gallery, and now give the player a curse at the start of their run for ever time they've gotten out alive in a row. Spoiler Content! Here are the curses that we've added to the game as well as what they do. Curses are permanent and can not be removed during a run, but do not persist between runs. Curses are also granted during certain item interactions, such as removing pandora's box adds 2 curses to the player. We also treat curses the same as normal items, so they…

- Patch Notes 0.2.2 - 29 December 2023
Overview Happy Holidays! I've been continuing work on the game during this season. This update has a few exciting additions that I'm happy to have gotten flushed out. This update includes: Various bug fixes Added Chess Set Map Added Holy water boon XP now gets applied during reset or to main menu in the middle of a game. Challenges have been redone Added new weapons (Executioner sword and Brain Basher) Challenge Rework The challenges have been reworked to be the same across each map. And completing the challenges now is how you go about unlocking the new maps. Each map now has the 3 objectives of Getting out alive, Finding the secret, buying each door. Each main new map is unlocked through getting out alive on the previous map. The idea behind the other objectives is to have boons or special weapons become unlocked via buying all the doors, while finding the secret on each map unlocks h…

- Patch Notes 0.2.0 - 14 December 2023
This is a very exciting update! I've wanted to make sure this game stays as casual as I can make it. With this in mind, I know controller support is going to be key in helping with this mission. Now, I am happy to officially announce that controller support is live! This was accomplished with one big change to the overall gameplay, directional aiming. Along side the addition of directional aiming are the following changes: 3 new boons were added in. Rusty Nail, F Key, and Pandora's Box Change to the Acid and Blood splatter so they would pool together instead of look like little coins. New Get alive option for each map, more info about this below. Update to how to unlock maps. Full controller support throughout the UI. Exit's on each map Most maps, not all, have 6 exits that are randomly chosen from at round 20 to be the "Available Exit". The exit becomes available at round 20 and remain…

- Introducing weapon leveling! - 26 November 2023
I am excited to introduce weapon leveling into the game! This system was introduced as a way to increase the depth of the game as well as take the first step to introduce late game builds to help the player survive later rounds. Content This system has been designed with the current weapons already in the game, in mind. As you use a weapon, after a set amount of time (45 kills at time of writing), the weapon upgrades its stats. The stats that are able to be upgraded are as such: Recoil Recoil decay (Handling) Damage Bullet speed Weight Is fully automatic Fire Rate Ammo on purchase Minimum bullet spread Bullets per shot Penetration chance Each of these stats can be used in tandem to create ultra powerful weapons that make slaying zombies easier. Some examples that have been implemented are a fully automatic sniper rifle, a pistol that shoots a wall of bullets, and a shotgunned sniper rif…
