- Added a lot of hidden treasures in the levels!

- The item cursor will jump to corresponding grid after selecting an accessory or consumable item;
- Staff's AI will teleport a snap trap only when it's needed;
- ... and again, a LOT of optimization on the level design!
- The control mapping was not saved properly;
- The death animations of the thieves and the bosses were not played properly;
- When a hero bounced up on an energy, he could be hit by the monster in the upper lane;
- The barrels were not spawned in the boss fight in level 2-2;
- In level 5-1, the enemies would attack even the hero in their lane was dead;
- The snap trap will no longer trigger when hit the switch button;
- Decreased the duration of the Turbo Mode by 1/3;
- Changed the offering price for the gold nugget from 200 to 100;

Axe, Bow & Staff is a pixel art hybrid combining runner-sidescroller mechanics with RPG elements and zany multiplayer gameplay.
Inspired by games like Lost Vikings, Adventure Island, Cadilacs and Dinosaurs and Captain Commando, etc, Axe, Bow & Staff evokes the nostalgia of the favorite games of your youth: updated with faster graphics, multi-player replayablilty, and goofy gameplay that's easy to learn but many times harder to master!
![]()
Literally born under a rock, Axe is the tallest dwarf in his mining clan, a giant of a dwarf at five feet, towering a head above the others. He's so tall he could be mistaken for a very short human! Because Axe's height made him unsuitable for mining, he set off to seek his fortune in the lands above. Away from familiar tunnels and dank caves, Axe often gets lost on the surface world, but doesn't like to admit it. When he is not busy searching for his fortune, he likes skipping rocks on a stream and eating hot dogs on a stick. He thinks that they are made of real dogs and has never learned how to tie his shoelaces.
Bow is, regretably, the shortest member of her elfin village. She left her home in shame because she was only ever tall enough to gather berries with the elfin children. Bow did not want to be a babysitter in the bushes for the rest of her life, so she ran away from home when she was sixty (which is like sixteen in human years) to train as an ninja so that she could one day return home a glorious hero and bring glory to short elves everywhere. To this day, she still has not found a Ninja Sensei to teach her the proper art of Nenjootsoo, the elven translation of ninjutsu. This also means that she and Axe are about the same height...
Staff has been called many things, amongst them hypochondriac and sniffles are probably the nicer terms that people have used. As a hypo-sensitive wizard with extensive allergies, he prefers to hide behind much bulkier heroes and fold origami on his days off. Staff is mildly allergic to magic, nature, rodents, goblins, rats, leaves, twigs, stones, dead goblins, rocks, dirt, air, water, lightning, thunder, undead goblins, and likes cats. He is also allergic to cats.
