Update 0.20 - Weekly Madness

Dear Survivors,

Good news! A surprise update featuring a brand-new - and somewhat questionably balanced - game mode : Weekly Mode is here, bringing you fresh challenges on a weekly basis. And yes, there’s a leaderboard . It’s wild; check it out and let us know what you think.

Our tooltips and savegame stability have been enhanced, and several bugs have been fixed.

In parallel, we’re working hard on our major summer update , which will let you travel to MKing Headquarter s for the first time. Until then, stay safe and have fun in the new, amazing...

Weekly Mode

A new challenge starts every week. The same rules apply to everyone for each challenge, including

A randomly selected character A random scoring system (kills, peak DPS, body count, etc.) Four (out of nearly 30) crazy modifiers . For example:

Modifier - Exploders Only:

Modifier - Everything is Red:

And so, as you can see, the unexpected, chaos, and maybe even total madness await you. Have fun!

Reworked Tooltips

Our item tooltips received a fresh new design. Let us know how you like them!

Improved Save Game Stability

We had a few rare cases where save games could be lost. We've taken several measures to address this: more backups, more atomic IO operations, and a fix for cases where saving might not finish properly before the game closes.

Improved Foliage Rendering

Our batching for foliage was quite poor, which caused a lot of overhead. We've revised this so that most identical foliage is now drawn in a single batch. This should noticeably improve performance, depending on your device.

There is also a new setting for foliage density, allowing you to reduce foliage density (excluding trees) on weaker devices.

Other Changes

Improved: Mission choices now display a warning and reset option when item banishing is active Improved: Added hover animations and sound effects to buttons Improved: Added sell sound effect when selling items Balancing: Trap Seeds (Bush character) now affect bosses for a longer duration Balancing: Barrels deal more damage to players again Balancing: Getting hit with armor grants temporary hit invincibility now (like for normal hits) Fixed: Particle effects for impact explosions (Rocket Launcher and Pizza Launcher) no longer scale with projectile size Fixed: Some texts didn't update immediately when switching languages Fixed: Santa Airstrike received twice the intended projectile amount buff Fixed: Character welcome screen had cut-off text in some languages Fixed: meta Loot zombie dropped too many apples Fixed: Several button texts overflowing their bounds Fixed: Broken German text in some loading screen tips Fixed: Broken sound references for the pumpkin turret and recipe crafting Fixed: Pumpkin count was unintentionally scaling with projectile count buffs (from character item modifier and fork) Fixed: Reaper failing to spawn when the player is too close to the bus Fixed: Apple loot zombies dropping an excessive number of apples Fixed: Some endless mode boss attacks dealing too much damage Fixed: Language setting changes not applying immediately Fixed: Some explosion VFX not scaling with their effect radius
