Hey, I've been listening to your feedback and I've just finished developing a big patch, and it's available now in a public beta. Just choose the public_beta branch for Eagle Island (there's a how-to GIF at the bottom). It includes a new difficulty mode, Lite, which only requires a 3x combo to earn health. Additionally, you'll be able to keep unused runestones and apply them as a loadout in future runs! You'll also get the chance to win extra runestones on the game over screen depending on how many monster's you've defeated. I've also added a 360 degree aiming mode for Koji. This is a departure from Eagle Island's core design and may unbalance the game for you, but it's here for you to try! Why not jump into the official Eagle Island Discord server and tell me what you think? All this comes with a whole bunch of other fixes and tweaks, check out the changelog:
