WIth Update 0.9.1.2 we are focusing completely on improving the overall player experience by adding a new player level up visual effect, adding a new light fragment drop from bosses to make defeating bosses feel more rewarding. We are also adding a new indicator which displays on which map tiers you have already defeated the endboss.

New Features

Defeated Endboss Indicator

Added indicator on which map tiers the endboss was already defeated. This should make it easier to see what has to be completed until you receive the achievements.

New Boss Light Fragment Drops

Added a new big light fragment which drops from defeated bosses, these light fragments also have a new pick up and sound effect. This should make defeating bosses feel more rewarding.
