Getting hit will produce red hitbox numbers, otherwise they'll be white Controller has been re-worked Controller bug where melee attacks didn't change direction with left analog stick should be fixed. Experience required to level up has been pushed back to it's origional state to increase fun and flow Eclipse Mode is now unlocked by owning all weapons. This is a silly mode for silly people I still love you all Ranged Damage now shows on the level up screen (not optimized) Spelling fixes Loading screen now allows more time for tool-tips, but a press to continue option is planned.

The ambiguety of this move is leaving many frustrated. I've received feedback on the skill tree not being as fun. This is something I want to elaborate on more with future updates. Though I am launchng the game I will be doing my best to fix it over time, and hopefully along side the new pets you'll have more to enjoy. Definitely make sure to join me on the discord if you want to have a live discussion about how you feel, or get information until I have time to do the wiki. Discord Link Special thanks to YellowAfterlife, and the Nuclear Throne community for helping me to make this a better game.
