Provided all is well with this update, this will be the final alpha update for Counterpact. Potential patches aside, the next update will mark the end of the alpha phase, bringing Counterpact into its beta phase! Thank you to everyone who has been part of the community so far. Do note that the Alpha Charm memento and Alpha emote will stop being given to new players at the start of the beta, and the Alpha Egg pet will be removed from the Development Gashapon at the start of the beta. Balancing Adjustments:

• Players are now immune to enemy damage and knockback after respawning; this immunity is lost after leaving their spawn area.

• Hypnotic Chain no longer appears as a Support weapon on the scoreboard.
• Restarting demo playback no longer causes an extra chat window to appear.
• Fixed an issue that prevented built-in localizations from being automatically loaded.

• The Experimentation Room has been added, allowing you to freely test items and game mechanics without reward or consequence of failure.
• The "Enter" key can now be used to automatically select "Yes", "Confirm", or solitary "Close" options in popups.
• The "Enter" key can now be used to purchase the currently selected item in the Shop, roll the currently selected Gashapon machine, or skip the animation of a Gashapon machine.
• When not in a game or in the map editor and while there are no popups, pressing "Escape" will now instantly return to the main menu.
• A "Restart" button has been added to the Gilded Spire in-game menu.

• No-slide area (players cannot slide down slopes while in these areas)
• Damage area (players repeatedly take damage while in these areas)
• When browsing the Shop or previewing Gashapon prizes, checkmarks are now displayed on items that you already own.
• These checkmarks will be displayed regardless of rarity or other attributes.
