Balance and Monster Ninjas
[h3]Hello there![/h3]
So you might have seen the other news post about the beta branch, I did some more work on it and think it is ready to be released into the wild. [fingers crossed]
Hopefully these changes result in a bit more challenging but fair game.
[h3]
Changelog[/h3]
Moon boss platforms
This is a balance patch but I also spent a bit of time reworking the melee system for monsters. I made them pretty weak at one point because they had a habit of lifting off like a rocket sometimes. The solution was to basically stop the monster in its track for one frame before it performs the next attack. This allowed me to boost up the attack velocity by a lot without breaking the game or monster.
So this should result in more intense monster fights.
Obligatory next game Link

Thank you for playing and let me know if you find broken things in the patch.
