The V2.0 update is here! Here's some info on what this brings to Crawlers and Brawlers.

Dungeon Revamp

We felt the dungeons in the original release were too small to actually do much beyond running straight at the enemies. In 2.0 we've modified most dungeons to have larger hallways and rooms in order to provide the ability to dodge enemy projectiles.
We also wanted to make the dungeons a little more dynamic than in 1.0. To that end we've added traps to some dungeons to make exploring the dungeons a little more dangerous. We've also added more breakables to dungeons.

Boss Fights

Each boss fight in the game has had mechanics added/altered to make them more challenging.

Enemy Revamp

We've got new enemy types and changed some of the old types. Most enemies will now have animations associated with their attacks. Additionally more powerful enemies will roam the dungeons.

New Inventory/Store UI

The old UI was designed specifically to fit 4 players in a 1280x760 screen. We've done away with that limitation to provide a less cramped Inventory/Store UI. The new UI should be much more functional while still supporting 4 player split screen via scaling.
