Hello everyone!

Thanks for your support and love, as of June 27, more than 11000 copies of Geometry Arena have been sold since this game was launched on April 8.

Many players have asked me if my life has improved since the game was released? Unfortunately, due to the low price of the game, as well as the high tax rates and handling fees, the actual income to my hands is not much, and I can barely make a living.

After discussion with peers, I learned that low pricing usually does not increase overall sales, but buries hidden dangers. In desperation, I decided to carefully consider the pricing of the game.

Since April, Geometry Arena has undergone more than 50 version updates, The version number of the game has been increased from v0.1 series to v0.3 series, with more than 40 new upgrades, 1 new mode, 9 new difficulty options, achievement system, upgrade library function, leaderboard function, proficiency system, geometry coin system, rune system, etc. The overall playability of the game have been greatly improved.

To sum up, Geometry Arena will undergo the first price adjustment, with an increase of about 100%. The increase range of each sales area depends on the situation. For example, in the US, the price will be raised from $2.99 to $5.99. The price adjustment will take effect after the steam summer sale.

In the future version, Geometry Arena will continue to bring you more interesting new content, such as daily challenges, skill modules, combat pets, etc. I will continue to work hard and always put the players' experience first.

Please believe that no matter what the income situation is, I will be responsible for Geometry Arena until the final product is released.
Thank you for your warm company for a long time. Your presence makes the geometry world a better place.

[h3]Optimization[/h3]
Remake the judgment logic of all kinds of explosion effects, change the physical collision judgment to the mathematical distance judgment, and reduce the relevant performance occupation by more than 90%.
Considering that the overall performance of the game has improved, the fire speed limit of the optimization of the number of bullets has been appropriately relaxed.

[h3]Interface[/h3]
Add the sorting function of runes. Click the relevant button in the rune interface to sort and view the runes.

[h3]Others[/h3]
Increase the sound effect of pressing the keyboard shortcut.
Now, the system will intelligently identify whether the match is archived with the old version, and the old version of the match data will no longer be uploaded to the leaderboard.

[h3]Overview[/h3]
1. Due to a large number of players' feedback that the previous proficiency system consumes too much energy of players, so in this version, the proficiency system has been redesigned. As this version change will bring more or less influence to all players, in order to apologize, all players can get a certain amount of geometry coin compensation after the version update (the specific value is based on the number of proficiency points of your roles). Thank you for your understanding and support.
2. The new currency "geometry coin" and the new playing method "Rune" have been put into practice. This is the product of the integration of the pet system and equipment system in the early design. I believe it can bring you a new interesting experience.
3. In this version, the acquisition and spending mechanism of stars has also been greatly changed. The cost of role talents has been greatly reduced to allow players to strengthen their roles more quickly; the difficulty curve of the game has been completely remade, and the output of stars no longer depends on the number of levels, so as to improve the game experience in most stages. This change is the focus of this monetary system update. On the one hand, it is to avoid the collapse of the monetary system in the future game. On the other hand, it is also convenient for the future new monetary related system. If this change brings you inconvenience, please understand!
4. At the same time of this major update, the leaderboard data in the game has been cleared.

[Mechanism] In endless mode and wander mode, the probability of elite enemies no longer increases with the number of levels.
[Mechanism] In endless mode and Wander mode, with the increase of level, the enemy's life value will increase in a more reasonable way, and the overall difficulty is greatly reduced.
