Hi everyone,

The upcoming update is both the biggest and most experimental yet! In rounds 4 and 10 you will be able to pick 1 out of 3 Skills. Skills are a special kind of item that mixes up the gameplay and opens up now kinds of builds.
Here are two examples. Its Slime Time can drop in round 4 and gives you access to Gooblings, a new item, and is the basis for a Goobert-based strategy:
Mana Mastery is a Skill that can be found in both round 4 and round 10. It is a Mana source and makes Mana Orbs a more effective payoff.
Currently, there is a total of 20 skills, some can only be found in round 4, some only in round 10 and some of them are in both pools (you can check this in the item info panel). Each class has 2 class-specific skills.
This is a very experimental feature that we have great hopes for. After a sufficiently long testing period, we plan to start a poll on our Discord to see if you like it as much as we do, and plan our following steps accordingly.

Joining the Beta

You can play it by joining the public beta branch. If you have never participated before, you can instructions on how to join on our Discord server. It is planned to come to the main branch on 20th September. Until then, have fun testing and do not forget: The beta branch is for finding issues, bugs are to be expected - please report them in our Discord or the steam community so they can be addressed.

Future Updates

While this is the last major mechanic we plan to integrate in the game, we are still working on the private lobbies (play with friends) as well as different quality-of-life features. We will also add many more items, including a second set of skills! With the 1.0 release, we will add two more classes and Steam achievements.
