UPDATE 1.1.0 (DEMO 0.2.0)Hey everyone!
I just released a new update for the game.
Main changes:
- adjusted -> boss summoning time reduced from 5 to 3 seconds.
- changed -> the colors of cards, statues, and rooms in the maze change with each boss defeated.
- added -> room numbers/order are now displayed to aid navigation through the maze.
- changed -> the colors of the squares no longer change to indicate the range of enemy pieces.
- changed -> when dying, instead of returning to the first room, the player now respawns in the room where the previous boss was defeated.
- adjusted -> the attack delay of white pieces has been increased, making it more noticeable where an attack will come from and giving the player more time to dodge.
- added -> new tutorial messages have been added.
- added -> full health recovery is now guaranteed before starting a new boss fight.
- adjusted -> enemies and bosses rebalancing.
- changed -> "options menu" added to centralize settings like language, music and SFX.
- adjusted -> minor UI adjustments.
- added -> now both the demo and full version have LINUX and STEAMDECK support.
