Dunjungle News

Hey Fellow Primates!

We hope you’ve been digging the Abandoned Tunnels and experimenting with our nutty new Engineer Monkey class! Let us know your feedback! But that's not it—today’s update is all about your tiny companions. Yes, the forever loyal Baby Monkeys!

In the past months, many of you requested a progression system for these adorable critters, and TODAY It is the time to once again SAY HELLO TO YOUR LITTLE FRIEND!

[h2]NEW SYSTEM: BABY MONKEY METAPROGRESSION![/h2]

- Level up your Baby Monkeys at the Hub!
Rescue a new Baby Monkey, then find them chilling at the bottom-right corner of the Hub. Each now grants unique perks while in your party!

- Boost their power with Banana Gems!
Spend those shiny pink gems to enhance their buffs further. Pro tip: Feed them well, and they’ll carry you to victory!


[h2]NEW RELICS[/h2]

Baby Monkey Coin
Whenever your Health reaches 0, instead of dying, a Baby Monkey will heal you and then leave you for the rest of the run.

Megaphone
Make some monkey noises (interact button) to Command your Baby Monkeys. They will immediately execute an attack, skipping the cooldown.

[h3]TWEAKS & POLISH[/h3]

• Ape Amulet charge: The damage needed to charge the amulet will now increase per biome (previously it was increased per amount of enemies killed across the run).
  
• Patapez Enemy Attack: Reduced the collider's active frame time
  
• Meta Currency used for permanent upgrades are now Banana Gems
  
• Biomes: For new players to access the alternative biomes, they first have to complete their counterpart
  
• Biomes: Now you can access the Abandoned Tunnels via The Crypt (after the beating the boss, of course)
  
• Bosses: Buffed Ant Queen and Sap Queen max health
  
• Lucky Charm Relic: Buffed chances of survival (20% -> 25%)
  
• Ghost Monkey Class: Nerfed Magic Damage Bonus (50% -> 30%). Reduced Immunity Frames in higher difficulties (was 180 frames in all difficulties, now is 180/135/90).
  
• Difficulty: Reduced the damage and health of the enemies in the first biome.
  

[h3]BUG FIXES[/h3]

- Fixed very rare game crashing bug related to the skill "Meteor"

That’s BANANAS for now! Rest assured that we’re still jungle-cooking more wild updates before the inevitable Full Release! Thank you for your attention and support!

As always, stay tuned!

[h3]Here's a sneak peek of what's coming up![/h3]

[h3]
• New Biome![/h3]
  The rot seeps deeper. Collapsing tunnels! Nitroglycerin barrels! And whatever you do—just don't touch the glowing eggs…
  
  Fire magic? Bold choice. Just watch out for the powder kegs.
  
  [h3]
• New Enemies and Threats:[/h3]
  Ant colonies SWARM for their mutated Queen. Watch for special ones—even corrupted, their pheromone commands are flawless.
  
  [h3]
• New Class and Weapon:[/h3]
  
  ENGINEER MONKEY
  Monke finally earned his engineering degree and equipped himself with proper tools!
  
  Heavy-Duty Wrench
  A mysterious object made of metal. Looks useful, but you wonder what for.
  
  [h3]
• Two Brand-New Bosses:[/h3]
  
  Another queen! Her pheromones rewrite reality—and her followers' bites rewrite your HP bar.
  The other? Said to be a madman among madmen… so good luck.
  
  [h3]
• New Baby Monke:[/h3]
  Monkeys in each region boast unique traits, but one common trait is shared among them all—they're irresistibly adorable ♥
  
  They've never seen sunlight—and that's why they'll cling to you like mold to damp stone.
  

[h3]Other Updates & Fixes[/h3]
Tweaks and fixes:

• - Buffed Sap Queen HP
  
• - Pendant of Pain (Relic): Ghost class will receive double damage now (same as other classes)
  
• - Victory Immunity: Players now gain brief immunity after defeating a boss to prevent post-victory deaths
  
• - Fixed a bug that stops you from fully healed
  
• - Improved Revive Effect: More visible, plus added immunity frames after revival
  
• - Projectiles & attacks no longer deal damage to you after the enemy is dead
  
• - Weapons fused with the Shadow modifier: Special attacks will also have chances to be executed twice
  

🐒 Whether you're collapsing tunnels or being collapsed UPON… that's just engineering, Primates! 🐒
