New Alpha Released: ALPHA_OCTOBER_HALLOWEEN_FIX

A new alpha for Counterpact has been released. This update contains the following changes: Balancing Adjustments:

The player holding the Trick or Treat candy will no longer receive the reward if their team loses.
- This is to discourage players from not participating in gameplay after getting the candy by hiding in areas that are either far from the objective(s) or are difficult to reach.
Reduced the attack damage of Eye Blaster Wardens from 3.5 (it alternated between 4 and 3 each tick, averaging to 3.5) to 3.
All Wardens now suffer from heal fatigue twice as quickly.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed Trick or Treat candy not being given during the first round after a game server is launched.
Fixed an error that would appear when attempting to load a map in the map editor.
The game is now compiled differently for Linux, as to avoid corrupted data coming from the game servers after extended uptime.
- There is no guarantee as to whether this will completely prevent the issue, though testing seemed to indicate it could be the fix.
- If this presents any issues with actually playing the game on Linux, please report said issues.
Warden heal fatigue is now properly synchronized.
- This has no effect on gameplay; this is solely to give more clarity to other players.
Back Alley Invitation's sap bonus is now properly synchronized.
- This has no effect on gameplay; this is solely to give more clarity to other players.
Fixed being unable to use Steam's screenshot functionality.

Miscellaneous:

The Pumpkin Bucket Charm's required candy for maximum glow has been increased from 15 to 25.
- Likewise, the ghostly aura emanating from the eyes now starts at 26 candy collected instead of 16.
Game server hosts now have an option to adjust the timeout threshold for clients.
- In an attempt to circumvent issues caused by players with particularly poor connections, the default setting for this is 2500ms (2.5 seconds).

* Note this game is currently in alpha. Store page assets are subject to change, and the current build is not completely representative of how the game will be at the time of launch.

Counterpact is a 2D platform-shooter that pits two teams against each other, or a solo player against the tough (yet polished) forces the Gilded Spire has to offer.

7 Unique Characters
Each playable character comes with their own set of mechanics. If you enjoy glass cannon gameplay, try Shiniko the Reaper, who can output some serious damage despite her low health and close-ranged attacks; use her Dash to maneuver around (or through) enemies. Prefer to take a tankier approach? Try SYS.TR the Bulwark, who can use channel the damage she receives into powerful auras using her Rerouted Power.

Different Weapons to Try
Don't like how a character plays by default? Maybe you do like them, but the current situation calls for something different? Perhaps you just want a new twist on their mechanics? Each character has a variety of alternate weapons to choose from, some of which heavily change their gameplay style to the point of putting those characters into different roles, all while keeping their core mechanics intact. New weapons get added over time as well, so you'll have something new to try.

Over 100 Cosmetics to Collect
By simply playing the game (no microtransactions are involved), you can earn Eclipsium. Eclipsium can be spent on the available Gashapon Machines, which will reward you with a random cosmetic from their stock. Cosmetic items include different outfits for characters, little pets that follow you, chairs you can sit on, emotes to communicate or taunt with, and more.

Enter the Gilded Spire
If you want (or need) a solo experience, the Gilded Spire awaits you. Fight through four floors of bulky enemies and traps for a chance to earn riches. If you really want to challenge yourself, try conquering the Gilded Spire on the Blinding difficulty, and be greatly rewarded for your success.
