Update 0.2.0

Hello everyone! The first regular update of the Early Access is here! This patch focuses on balance, early-game accessibility, improved interactions, and overall polish. Here’s what's included:

Balance Updates

Pistol Shrimps damage reduced: 12 → 8. Early-game improvements for new players:

Increased healing-orb drop rate in World 1. Syltharion : consecutive deaths now reduce its max HP in the next run (in default difficulty only) Added Healing Vines before the boss room — spend shellfish to heal.

Dash i-frames increased from 0.15s → 0.3s. Character hitboxes refined for fairer interactions. Rend can now teleport when his secondary attack hits terrain.

New Enemies in the First Biome

Spinner: this little flying creature can summon spinning electric orbs that deal damage, and that you can destroy with your attacks Bouncer: This one will surely be hated. It’s a mindless creature that ricochets around the map whenever it hits terrain. Make sure you don’t touch it!

Meta Progression

Reduced Soulshard requirements for several Soulbounds.

Improvements

Aim assist now targets enemy projectiles, making them easier to destroy.

Environment Interactions

We are making the world more reactive and fun to interact with — and more is coming!

Pumpkins now react to hits. Bushes and flowers now react to hits.

Polish

Added a vignette effect when successfully dodging an attack.
