  ✨ New Content 1. Brand-new BGM for Level 1 & Level 2 We are thrilled to announce: Level 1 and Level 2 now feature brand-new background music composed exclusively for this game by Panagiotis Chartas! Experience enhanced atmosphere and immersion—put on your headphones and revisit these levels! 2. New Mode: Sandbox Mode This update introduces an extremely early-stage Sandbox Mode, primarily for testing future numerical changes and system adjustments. It currently consists of two sections: (1) Existing Content Sandbox Freely experiment with current character stats and all items to stress-free test various builds, combinations, and playstyles.

• Patch 11 - 10 November 2025

  Fix windowing settings issue

• Patch 10 - 10 November 2025

  Fixed weapon disabling bug

• Patch 9 - 7 November 2025

  1. Camera shake is an optional parameter that can be set during testing. 2. Weapons can now be banned, with approximately 2 weapons banned per map. This means that if you have cleared 3 maps, you should be able to ban 6 weapons. I am not sure if I have made the necessary changes or if this quantity is sufficient for everyone. If you feel the need to make changes, we can continue with the modifications. Gru, that goblin wearing a scarf! I have designed a minimum movement speed of 15 for a player, and I think there should be no problem. However, to be honest, I have never used this character to clear QwQ, so I am not sure if there are still any issues 4. Fleurie is a cute little one who can breathe fire! She can now exhale a full circle of dragon breath normally in double speed mode. I forgot if I updated anything else, I hope there are no bugs. Actually, I am still making a training grou…

  Hello everyone, I took a two-day break, and this time I’m bringing a small update, primarily focused on feature optimizations and preparations for some new content. **New Additions** 1. **Combat speed-up feature** – Allows for faster combat experiences, saving time when grinding through levels. 2. **Low HP feedback** – When a character’s health is low, visual and sound effects will provide feedback, enhancing the sense of tension. **Planned Updates** The following content is currently in development and will be released in future versions: - **External progression system** – Ensures that every game session yields lasting benefits, gradually strengthening the character. - **Weapon balance optimization** – Adjustments will be made to the balance of certain weapons, allowing more weapons to shine. - **External mini-game (2048?)** – We’re experimenting with adding a relaxing mini-game to le…
