At long last, here's the big one! There's lots to go through here, but the main big one is the brand new Synth Rush mode! And again all of this is free. There will still be some more small fixes and stuff to come, but this is about it in terms of full on extra content...at least for now anyway! ERSATZ v1.2 Patch Notes --------------------- -SYNTH RUSH- !!NEW MODE!! -ERSATZ' boss rush mode is called 'Synth Rush'. This unlocks after beating the game for the first time. Choose an unlocked playstyle and challenge any individual boss, or try to take on all of them in a row with no healing! Leaderboards for all of these are also included. Choosing an individual boss will have a small bit of descriptive text on the loading screen for more unseen information on the bosses of ERSATZ! -New achievement 'Like A Boss' has been added -SECRET MESSAGES- -Added Messages A, B, C & D to the messages menu.

This makes it easier to perform that action -Respawning in the advanced tutorial now stops input for 15 frames to stop players accidentally bouncing off the shields or into the spikes -CONTROLS- -You now have to physically reinput down to slam after slam cancelling with a dash. This means if you are still holding down when you press dash, it won't automatically cancel that dash with another slam -MISC- -Fixed starting Respiration on type Beta & Gamma
