1 September 2015 – Version 330
From the depths of Lady Tallowmere's dungeons comes a new breed of stumpy kamikaze creatures called Bloats.
Having consumed one too many purple stun potions from their fellow Ogres, Bloats are packed with paralysing toxins, exploding upon death.
You're free to use your shield against their self-inflicted explosions. Other enemies in the dungeon aren't so lucky, however, and will get stunned in a purple haze if they keep too close. Or if other monsters you want to stun are too far, you can always lure or push a Bloat into place before it explodes!
Bloat details:
- Bloats do not attack. Rather, they jump towards you when they see you, and make a delightful chirping noise.
- Once they're close enough, Bloats will begin their ritual of plunging a blade into a sweet spot in their belly, causing them to die instantly and explode.
- Bloats also explode if their health reaches zero through other means.
- Bloat explosions are close-range and can stun both hero and enemy.
- You can block the explosion with your shield, negating the damage and stun, or use an Anti-stun Potion.
- All enemies, excluding bosses, are stunnable.
- After exploding, Bloat body parts will fly through the air carrying a paralysing toxin. These purple gibs may look dangerous, but the toxin on these body parts are too weak to affect the hero. Other monsters in the room aren't so lucky however, and will become stunned for a few seconds if a toxin-laden body part hits them. You can also bounce these body parts off of your shield to try and stun monsters from afar.
- Other Bloats caught in a Bloat explosion will explode immediately in a chain reaction, regardless of health.
Other changes:
- The monthly leaderboard for September 2015 is now live. Good luck!
- Added the Bloat Challenge and its leaderboard. Speak to Samuel in-game to start.
- Added a pair of Bloats to the Double Trouble room.
- Slightly increased the coin pick-up radius.
- Demon statues now show a blue indicator when you have a soul group available to turn in.
- Updated Anti-stun Potions to cater for Bloat explosions.
- Scorch mark decals are now only created 60% of the time, down from 100%, for performance.
- Added dev console command: spawn bloat
Fixes:
- Fixed voice clips sometimes overlapping.
- Fixed Fire Mage arms sometimes getting stuck in upward positions.
- Fixed a frame stutter issue during the initial kidnapping scene.
- Fixed an issue with the local high score board flashing during the You Have Died sequence.
- Fixed the green ✓ checkmark character not appearing in the menus on Windows 10.
- Local co-op: Fixed player indicators not hiding during the You Have Died sequence.
- Local co-op: Fixed +Health floating texts only appearing on Player 1 instead of each corresponding player.
- Local co-op: Fixed the dev console not showing if nobody was using a keyboard.
- Local co-op: Fixed mid-game input device reassignments not persisting between deaths.
- Local co-op: Fixed red ranged-weapon indicators not hiding after a hero had fallen.
Source code conversion:
- Tallowmere's source code has finally been converted from UnityScript to C#. There should be no noticeable changes in-game.
- Outside the game, any `*.tallowmere` user data files are now considered legacy and will not be written to, though they will still be read and loaded as needed.
- New user data files now end with `*.csharp.tallowmere` and will be created and written to from here on.
- Again, you shouldn't notice any hiccups with this conversion -- this is just a heads-up!

- Tallowmere - Android Version
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.
