v1.1 of ERSATZ is up and focuses on some big changes for Type Beta.
ERSATZ v1.1 Patch notes
--------------------
-TYPE BETA-
-You can now slam, although its speed is slower than it is for the other 2 modes (same as your dash speed in this mode).
-Now slam pads again to heal.
-You can no longer dash downwards.
-You can no longer 'float'. Instead you will move in the last direction you pressed when dashing.
-Hitting bosses with your dash will now lower your dash meter by 1/6
-If you use up every bit of dash energy you will be unable to dash again until the meter completely refills. This is called 'dash overload'. New effects have been added to show this.
-MISC-
-Stars for completing 'Messages' are now back in the correct place after last updates menu changes made them misaligned.
-Possible fix for when a bottomless pit is triggered after death.
-More behind scenes code prep work for new mode.
