3 June 2015 – Version 322

New common enemy: Feeler

Lady Tallowmere has conjured a new foe for your pain and pleasure:

• The Feeler is a large flying insect; its tongue will try to snag you from across the room.
• Blocking the tongue will have it stick to your shield. Your movement speed will be slowed until you lower your shield, detaching the tongue.
• If you fail to block the tongue, the tongue will damage you and you'll get pulled to the Feeler's side.
• While being pulled, if the Feeler senses you attempting to attack or jump, the Feeler will respond by dealing extra damage.

Other notes:

• Reduced elite health by 10%.
• Added the Feeler Challenge.
• Added dev console command: "spawn feeler"
• Enabled Steam Leaderboard for June 2015.
• Fixed Mr Bigguns not appearing in the home room if any Challenge was active.
• Fixed Versionia the version-checker not appearing in the Android DLC.

------------------------------------ 4 June 2015 – Version 323

• Decreased the amount of damage you take when trying to jump or attack while being pulled by a Feeler.
• Fixed being able to take damage during a cutscene.

Indulge Lady Tallowmere and see how far through her lovingly violent dungeons you can delve in this 2D indie action roguelike-inspired platformer. New rooms are procedurally generated every time you play, meaning you'll have to be on your guard for every randomly-placed enemy, elite, boss, and treasure chest you'll come across.

Each room gets progressively bigger, harder, and more rewarding the further you go.

The concept is simple yet hard to master:

• Raise your shield to block enemy attacks.
  
• Lower your shield and strike your foes when the timing is right.
  
• Jump or move to avoid traps, or use your shield to reduce damage taken.
  
• Find the key to advance to the next room.
  
• Collect weapons, outfits, headgear, and shields of various rarities to aid your journey.
  
• Turn in souls from slain enemies to increase your base stats and passive abilities.
  
• Stay alive as long as you can!

Brace yourself as you learn the quirks of each foe, trap, and room type so you can strive for that "one more run" high-score victory! Each dungeon is infinite in length so it's up to you to push your limits; local scoreboards and online leaderboards let you track your greatest efforts.

Available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Play with keyboard (and optionally mouse), or use your favourite gamepad/controller.

Tallowmere offers single-player and local co-op madness (up to 4 players) for fun frantic couch gaming.
