Patch Notes

Update #3 available now

Our work from November is now available, just in time for the holidays. This update includes a bunch of things aimed at improving the game 'feel', and to that end we've added new combat animations, new blunt weapons like maces and hammers, added some screen shake to spice things up, and added sounds to the flying skull and druid monsters.

We also took a big step towards full gamepad support. XBox 360 controllers should work out of the box now, Dual Shock also should be well supported, your mileage will vary with other controllers.

The sewers also got a few more dungeon areas aimed at opening up the battlegrounds a bit to keep things from getting too claustrophobic. Shop prices also got some significant tweaks, most prices doubled and the skill in a jar jumped way up in price to 250 gold to reflect better the impact it has on a run.
