Hey everybody! This update brings four new power notes and new offensive passive, which we feel rounds out player build options nicely for the near future. We think this brings an end to the 'player ability' chapter of updates (at least for now).

Alongside the abilities, we have a new set of sounds (one for each colour) and a new difficulty mode for those of you that want to make beats, but don't necessarily want the tough-as-nails adventure to go along with it. We are excited to see your feedback on the new "Chill" mode and will likely be tweaking it in the future to provide a fun, relaxing experience.

So what's next now that the player abilities are in a good spot? We want to give you more rewarding ways to find and combine them! Our next few updates will be focusing on the MIDIverse itself, bringing new room types, rewards and enemy balance.

Features

• 1 new Offensive Equipment: Sword! The Sword equipment will finally provide a viable melee build that can clear the entire game. Best of all, it’s unlocked by default for all players!
• 4 new Power Notes: Black Hole, Sprinkler, Starstruck and Power Saw! These must be unlocked with blops in the death screen store
• Play mode now has two difficulties players can choose between. The more difficult option, “Challenge”, is similar to balance from previous versions. “Chill” makes health more abundant

Chill Mode!

• The Seed moves around the arena a bit during certain attacks, similar to the Sentinel

Bug Fixes

• Lungers were no longer looking at players for a short time before lunging, but still jumped right at players after the last update. This has been fixed

• Restarting a run was not resetting certain parameters, like the random seed in compete mode
• Several passive abilities were not being offered to the player. This has been resolved and all unlocked passive abilities should be available
• The Seed should no longer drop tokens in Compete
