BALANCE CHANGES AND BUG FIXES 9/24/2019

BALANCE CHANGES

• Destroying mini-mantas now deals 1 damage per manta to the boss
  
• Big Manta rays now have a new attack allowing you to deflect it back in the sword only run..
• Baby ray bullets are much faster. Nerfed baby mantas from 3 HP to 2 HP so they’re one shotable with the sword now on first loop. )
  

Manta rays now should be easier to kill in the SWORD only run by deflecting bullets back at them. Previously it was really difficult to kill mantas unless you had the Fireball or stamina buddy. This new attack should bring up the difficulty against the mantas as well as provide more options for combat.

• Porcupines can shoot quills in sword only run after a loop
  

I wanted to prevent porcupines from shooting in the sword only. But after doing a loop I'm going to re-add them back in to heighten the difficulty for the sword only run.

• Speedrun chests have been reworked. After you exit a shop a separate timer will count down from 2:00 to 0:00 instead of checking to see if you're in minute 2:00, 4:00, 6:00 8:00, etc.
  

The advantage of this system is that if you have a rough start in the beginning and spend 12 minutes arriving at the first shop area it will not carry over to the other areas giving you a fresh start.

First area loop art change. New title theme will play.


FIXED BUGS

• Boss health bars are now aligned properly.
• Sword only run had a camera bug that locked your camera against the Red Reaper.
  
• L1 The Thing seems to only go Red Reaper relative to L0 max health (so 1/3rd on loop)
  
• Apples no longer fall into the sky while being attracted to you
  
• Key pieces are outlined white to see easier
  

Look how hard it is to see the dropped key on the ground (not the hud). It was really easy to miss. So I put in a large white outline to make it easier to see in really dark areas.
