Quality of Life Update

Note: Due to certain internal changes, previously recorded demos are no longer playable. Balancing Adjustments:

Unfathomable Fury cooling rate has been slightly increased.
Hypnotic Chain's subdue rate is now affected by the user's distance from their target.

This rate scales based on current distance, with the rate being faster the closer the user is to the target.
At a distance of half of the maximum chain length, the subdue rate will match the previous subdue rate.
If the user is right next to the target, the rate will be slightly faster.
If the user is the maximum distance away from the target, the rate will be significantly slower.

Bug Fixes:

The refined sheen and Gilded glitter effects have been disabled until further notice due to compatibility issues.
The Random Team button is no longer selectable when playing a demo.
The Vote Skip button is no longer selectable when playing a demo.

Miscellaneous:

The ball is now affected by motion-inflicting map entities, such as launch areas.
Item searches and the current page are now retained if the popup is reopened, such as when archiving items.
Items can now be searched for by their abbreviations.

Due to the way this is implemented, certain words that are often excluded from abbreviations (such as "the") are still counted in abbreviations in this instance.

The inventory's "reset filters" button now also clears the current search term.
Individual items can now be manually unarchived through the Account Management menu.
Gale's coins now rapidly blink during the last second of their lifespan.
Entities in the map editor can no longer be manually locked; instead, they are only able to be deleted while the tool is selected or if Control is being held.
The Credits have been revamped.
The visual overlay when being subdued has been adjusted; at the start of subduing the effects are very subtle, but become significantly more intense when the victim is close to being subdued.
The Space Bar can now be used to pause or play demos.

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.
