  v 0.2.5 – Improvements – - Difficulty Adjustments The number of enemies that can exist in a single room in The Nameless Cave (Stage 1) has been reduced by approximately 25%. Rats now have a longer wind-up time before attacking. Rats now have increased delay after attacking. Rats now have a longer cooldown between attacks. Rats' movement speed has been reduced by 10%.
