Hello everyone! Just a quick update to expand the How to Play screen, giving more insight about the Day/Night cycle and the trapped vegetable companions.

Hello everyone! This new update brings some changes regarding game balance, but most importantly it introduces our new addition to the roster:

New character: Beekeeper

New feature: Magnet Shard

Misc changes:

• New challenges (along with new Steam Achievements) have been added to the game. The Progress screen is not in its final state yet, it will be revised and expanded for the early access release;
• Projectile sprites are now mirrored when shot on the left side instead of being rotated.

Balance changes:

• Enemies amount have been generally increased throughout the whole run;
• Enemies can now spawn both closer and farther than before;
• Cactus, shrubs and trees spawn points have been rearranged, and cactus now yield more water units;
• Its now required to stay for a very short time in proximity to vegetable companions to collect them.

Misc changes:

• Stats in the pause menu list now show their description on mouse-over without needing to click
• Back End changes on how levels are loaded for easier implementations of new levels

• Restored knockback applied on Owlnions (or Moths)

• Owlnions: Increased HP and decreased acceleration speed

• On rare occasions Owlnions stop following the player and fly in a straight direction

Hello everyone! The 0.5.3 Update is live right now, and I suggest bringing an umbrella because the days spent slaying creatures and saving veggies won't be warm and sunny anymore!
