Patch Notes v 0.2.3 Square231 Edition
Hey Scholars! This patch will introduce more quests, a new NPC, and this patch will allow you to use the same spells that the Demigods have been firing at you!
[h3]New Spells[/h3]
Rain Cloud
Create a rain cloud which damages an area over time. This spell can be combined with others.
Ormungs Torrent
Fire the spell Splash around you, just like Ormung!
This spell can be combined with others and will only be unlocked after beating Ormung.
Aion’s Obsidian
Summon Aion’s Obsidian. This rock will rotate around you. It must be combined with spells and will only be unlocked after beating Aion.
[h3]Town Upgrades[/h3]
Abuela has entered the Fire Domain and needs your help. Once you’ve rescued Abuela she’ll appear in town. Abuela can destroy spells and refund you a portion of the resources you’ve spent on them. So if you want to change your build mid run this can help!
At first she’ll only be able to refund two spells at a time. But as you upgrade her shop she’ll be able to refund more and more spells! So make sure to build her a tent for shade.
[h3]New Quests[/h3]
As a reminder all quests appear on the town board near the Gateway. Whenever a villager asks for help, be sure to check the town board for new quests.
Build a Tent for Abuela:
Talk to Abuela and have her refund two of your spells. She will tell you that she’s too tired to do anymore and she’ll put a quest on the town board.
Gather clay, wood, and star crystals to build a tent for Abuela. Next time you come to town Abuela will be able to refund up to 5 spells now that she has some shade and can cool off!
Defeat Seren:
Defeating the Demigod Seren unlocks Seren’s Falling Star for all future runs.
Defeat Ormung:
Defeating the Demigod Ormung unlocks Ormungs Torrent for all future runs.
Defeat Aion:
Defeating the Demigod Aion unlocks Aion’s Obsidian for all future runs.
[h3]Spell Updates[/h3]
Nekra’s Scythe:
Nekra’s Scythe will now react to other spells in a wider range. Originally the hitbox to trigger combos was a bit too small. I’ve extended that range so it’s easier to combo.
Null Hour:

[h3]Gameplay Upgrades[/h3]
- If a spell increases or decreases your damage, a prompt will now show.
- Enemy Smush Smush will no longer heal for a flat 10hp. Their healing is now based on their level.
- Added some camera smoothing.
- Tuned the health and level scaling back a bit. The damage they’re doing is appropriate, but I think they’re just a little bit too tanky atm. It’s also hard to keep your walls up to date with how fast they level up in the dungeons.
- Filled out the sky castle with some debris so it doesn’t look as empty. I will be adding more and more to each zone to fill them out as time goes on.
- I created more UI updates to try and scale to WideScreen Monitors. Let me know if the shop UI is working now!
[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
- Widescreen Support is confirmed! I literally bought a new monitor to test it myself.
- Gaia’s Shield description has been fixed.
- The Radar Puzzle was giving false positives when scanning. This has been fixed.
- Fixed graphical error where beam spells would glitch on the screen before rendering correctly.
- Life Shield wasn’t spawning more fairies with more levels. That has been fixed.
- Streamer BonfireLol found a way to stack Ethereal Form ontop of itself which completely removed cooldowns. Super fun! Super broken! That bug is now fixed!
- Combining Boulder Drill with Necromancy, then shooting Seren’s Barrage at it would spawn an incredible amount of minions which could possibly freeze the game. You can still spawn the same amount of minions, I’ve just optimized the game so crashes are less frequent.
