- Bug Sweep - 27 April 2026
Today's patch is a bug sweep. Four targeted fixes - two boss bugs, one secret-stairs race, and one anti-grief lockdown for public games. Bosses Wind Beast - orbs now home in on you instead of drifting off-screen. The forward-cone homing restriction was clobbering enemy projectiles too; it's now scoped to player-fired bullets only, so the Wind Beast's orbs get their full lock back. Arachne - cleared the torches and obstacle tiles out of her boss-room layouts so she stops snagging on geometry mid-charge. WebShot range bumped so her web reaches across the full room. Multiplayer & Secrets Song of Adventure stairs - the secret stairs you summon with the Dungeon Key or by playing Song of Adventure on a Singing Block now reliably take you to the Outer Realm. Restart locked to host - the Restart button in the pause menu now only shows for the host, and the server rejects restart commands from a…
- Must Have Shinies... - 22 April 2026
Today's patch is an item rebalance pass. A handful of familiars, wands, and rings had their numbers retuned, one boss-killer bug got swatted, and a few items are retired from the drop pool. You should have noticeably fewer bad runs to blame on your loadout. Buffs Force of Mind - now a 360-degree barrage. Three successive volleys of 16 projectiles each, stepped at 22.5-degree intervals and offset so the second and third rings fill the gaps from the first. Mana cost dropped from 2 to 1, so you can fire it twice on a full charge. Rockfort - 50% larger with a tighter, slower orbit. Your stone friend settles into protective positions instead of whipping around the edges of the room. A proper bodyguard. Seeker - homing now restricted to a 90-degree forward arc. Bullets still track, but they won't U-turn onto enemies behind you. Slight targeting hit, big controllability win. Nerfs Staff of Lor…

- New Build 1.0.7493: Improved Dedicated Servers - 7 July 2020
New Build 1.0.7493: Improved Dedicated Servers With this new build we've improved our dedicated server support. We finally have a stable Linux server and so we've added new dedicated servers for the west coast of the US and in Europe! This should result in lower ping times and improved game stability for everyone. Also the dedicated server has been programmed to restart periodically when not in use so that players will no longer get kicked off for daily restarts and updates. In a rogue-like game it's very important not to stop a server mid-run. With the new build this will no longer be an issue as the servers will only restart when not in use. The Dedicated Server Setup Guide is now available. Full Release Notes Lowered Key Drop Rate Increased Coin Drop Rate Adjusted Boss Health Levels Updated game engine version to 2019.4.1f1 Console mouse wheel scrolling now works. Linux dedicated ser…
