Major Update 3 - The Anniversary Update: What an incredible year it has been, and what better way to celebrate it than with a ton of updates crammed into the biggest singular update in PWAG's history! Dark Deals: Occasionally you are offered a Tarot Pack in your vending machine. Opening the pack replaces your next machine with a Major Arcana Shop, which grants you access to the strongest items in the game. But these items come with the drawback of adding more foes to the enemy ranks, so use their power cautiously. New Item: Tarot Pack - Replaces next shop with tarot offering New: Tarot Card - Death New: Tarot Card - Temperance New: Tarot Card - The Devil New: Tarot Card - The Hermit New: Tarot Card - The High Priestess New: Tarot Card - The Fool New: Tarot Card - The Emperor New: Tarot Card - The Empress New: Tarot Card - The Magician New: Tarot Card - The Sun New: Tarot Card - The Towe…
- Merch Store & Giveaway Raffle - 7 April 2025
Merch Store: First and foremost, I want to be clear that this store is not for profit. All prices listed are based on the cost to manufacture and ship, with nothing going to me as the developer*. PWAG has a merch store! If you like you can grab a mug or glass for enjoying your favorite drink when the Anniversary Update comes out! There are 8 designs, each coming as a 16oz glass, an 11oz mug, or a 15oz mug. All of which are dishwasher safe. Enough about the store though, let's talk about the raffle! *My intention is to never make a cent from PWAG, and that still holds true now. I tried to set it so you only had to pay for the cost of the product, thus earning me nothing. However, the store I'm operating through has a minimum markup of 5% I can’t seem to work around. If any money does come my way, I want to immediately turn around and reinvest it into you guys. Thus, this leads me into th…
- The Nothing Update - 31 March 2025

The rest of this post will tell you what is not updated or added: General: No New Gamemode: Catharsis No New Map: April Map No New Skin: ???? No Difficulty Mini Rework: Vatican and Exorcist have reduced random enemy spawns but random spawns also occur during boss waves and don’t grant kill gold (makes early game less arduous) No Balance Change: Secret boss spawn frequency slightly reduced Bug Fixes: No Bug Fix: Beating Disciple no longer rewards you for all other difficulties No Bug Fix: Beating Exorcist now gives you the Steam Achievement (sorry Crab) No Bug Fix: Gun flare affect correctly appears at the barrel of the gun No Bug Fix: Bullets correctly spawn at the barrel of the gun not at the player No Bug Fix: Pierce now works correctly No Bug Fix: Mass buying Kombucha no long reduce…
- The Shop Update - 10 February 2025
The Shop Update: Want to earn cool cosmetics to show off your dedication to demon-fighting? Well now you can! By playing PWAG you’ll earn Lire, which you can use to buy a large variety of cosmetics. And don’t worry, there are NO micro-transactions, as that is an unholy thing. How to Earn Lire: This is earned entirely by just playing the game!

- The Polish Update (part 1) - 22 December 2024
The Polish Update: Part 1 Tons of small and large changes to make the game overall feel more polished and fun to play. Reworked multiple selection menus to make them cleaner and less overwhelming. I also added a new gamemode so that the update would at least contain some new content :) There’s more I’m planning to add in a future update, but to ensure that the new save-data system is working I’m breaking it into 2 parts, this part essentially being the guinea pig. Quality of Life: New Gamemode: Boss Rush - For quick experiences New: Recap - Displays stats from your most recent run QOL: Certain player settings are saved between game launches QOL: Increased visibility of Pause Menu buttons QOL: Updated Difficulty menu QOL: Updated Gamemode selection screen QOL: Changed wording and style of some text to more fit the flavor of the game QOL: Added Volume button to Pause menu (suggested by Na…
- The Enemy Update - 4 December 2024
The Enemy Update: Rework of enemy spawn patterns. Added 7 new main enemies. Changed how much money enemies drop, and balanced how fast players became rich (no worries, you’ll still get rich, just slightly slower). Tweaked Vatican and Exorcist to remain at relatively the same difficulty. There’s a lamp that is sometimes weird… Enemies: New: Druid New: Trix New: Centiweave New: Warlock New: Terrordactyl New: RolliBulli New: Max & Min Changed: Brute - Creates zone of spikes on death Changed: Eclipse - Shoots twice in an eclipse pattern Changed: Wraith - Won't shoot while fleeing from the player General: Seasonal: Added new Winter map (set to default for now) Balance: Change to Enemy Spawn rates for Vatican and Exorcist Balance: Increased charge time for Favorite Color Black Balance: Wendigo possession item nerf QOL: Fit-Game-To-Screen option (located in Extras) QOL: Righteous Rocketeer mis…

- Major Update: The Progression Update - 4 August 2024
The Progression Update: Ever found yourself bragging to a friend about how great you are at turning vending machine items into weapons to slay demons, but you're unable to actually prove it? Well, now you can with 46 total achievements that can show just how skilled you are at vending machine runs! 45 achievements that test expert priests and easter-egg hunters alike A 46th achievement for those who proved themselves to be a master of all facets of fighting demons Agency Content: A major update wouldn't be major with just adding achievements, so to add more life to the park there are a lot of new mechanics in play. Player agency is important in games, and although rogue-likes have to have a good bit of luck, now you have many more ways to alter that luck! This demonic outbreak has recruited another new boss from the depths of the ocean to fight you with, but luckily you have several new…

The Controller Update: For those who prefer the feel of a controller game, PWAG is now compatible with a controller! Just turn your device on and start moving your joystick and you're good to go. And if you ever want to switch back just click your mouse and you are back to mouse and keyboard bindings! General: Controller Compatability added Seasonal Map: Summer Summer has now been brought to Father Garcia's park!

- The Survival Update - 18 June 2024
The Survival Update: A new gamemode where the demons never stop coming from the surrounding forest. Fight them off with some familiar items that you can find lying about, along with unique and powerful temporary buffs. No matter what though, the swarm will never end. How far can you get? New Gamemode: Survival (found under Extras) Minor Updates: General: A "Credits" tab has been added (found under Extras) QOL: Spark's fire noise compounding reduced Bug Fix: Poisoning Stalkers no longer can crash the game Bug Fix: Jet Fuel works even if you only have 1 Dev Update: As we get deeper into Summer, development will probably slow down for the game, both due to busyness and a lack of passionate ideas. More can always be added to the game, but I don't want to force anything that does not feel right. That being said as I continue to find new things that I want to add, I'll continue to add. Any id…

- Dev Thoughts 4 - The Firepower Update - 1 June 2024
The Firepower Update: At the start of the game choose from 1 of 3 guns to better match how you want to take on the horde. Also, new items have been added to allow for you to do high damage to a singular target - or so you can launch heat seeking ICBMs at your enemies from across the park - whichever you prefer! Also, health upgrades felt a bit scarce, so now whenever you kill a boss you get a small increase to health. New Item: Jet Fuel New Item: Paint Thinner New Item: Sriracha QOL: Bullet image updates Gameplay: Ignis' health reduced to make unlucky runs less tedious Gameplay: Killing a boss grants +5 Max HP Gameplay: Choose between 3 starting guns Gun Choice 1: Holy Handgun - quick reload speed Gun Choice 2: Blessed Bolt Action - high range & damage Gun Choice 3: Sovereign Shotgun - triple shot Bug Fix: Wraiths no longer move while player is in the shop Bug Fix?: (Root Beer temporari…
