EARLY ACCESS - UPDATE 0.2.0

Heartbyte Studios

NEW UPDATE - EARLY ACCESS 0.2.0

GAMEPLAY:

  • Added a NEW CO-OP CAMPAIGN LEVEL (for a shortcut: if you reached the end of the co-op campaign, a yellow platform will be unlocked in the first co-op level, after escaping the prison cell)
  • The arcade mode difficulty has been tweaked, and should be more intense now. Forget about reaching round 301 on this one!

BUG FIXES:

  • Fixed a bug that caused Marta's teapot to disconnect a player if it hit an enemy within the last 3 seconds of a match
  • Fixed a bug that made the version incompatibility message appear for no reason after returning to lobby
  • Fixed a bug that caused another player's Darkness' attack animation play when the local player attacked
  • Many minor bugs fixed

QUALITY OF LIFE:

  • Darkness' ability now swaps color **after** the cooldown starts instead
  • Darkness' ability speed increased for balance purposes
  • Bertha's ability cooldown reduced for balance purposes
  • SGT squeak's damage tweaked

WHAT'S NEXT??

For the life of me I couldn't finish the new arcade map before the deadline However, I'll try to have it finished within a week, or 10 days from now at most. (Also, the arcade mode will have a complete overhaul once the early access finishes and 1.0.0 is released)

I'm aiming to have another co-op level for the Halloween update, and I'm trying my best to make these last co-op levels as scary as possible! You have been warned
