• [Murky Wastes] - Various glitches
  
• Using Weapons and Spells in the Secret level

We also released Murky Wastes Vanilla as a user adventure, which is the original version of the Murk Wastes that was released with the initial Early Access version. This is to keep history alive so everyone can replay the old level whenever they want.


Thank you for your wonderful feedback and bug reports. We will keep improving the game!

Enjoy! ːCotcTorchː

Since the early access launch of Wizordum, Murky Wastes, the infamous sewers level, has received many negative opinions. Being the 3rd level in the game, the level was very long, and the difficulty spike was quite big. Not to mention tedious backtracking and many switches - we just wanted to stay true to the tradition of sewer levels. However, it didn't turn out as we hoped it would.



Because of that, we decided to go back to the Murky Wastes and flip some things around to get rid of most of the backtracking and to make the whole level slightly more linear, so it's harder to get lost now. As a result of this, we have a shorter and more enjoyable level.



Hopefully, this will make the overall experience better for everyone! And if you loved the old vanilla Murky Wastes, don't fret. We will upload it as a custom map soon so you can experience the original map whenever you want.

[h3]Storm Gauntlets - Chain of Lightning Alternative Attack[/h3]
If you have purchased the Storm Gauntlets upgrade at the shop, you can now use the alternative attack, connecting up to five enemies with a Chain of Lightning, dealing 20 damage per enemy in the chain.

Enjoy the new update, and let us know how you like the new Murky Wastes, Mage! 🧙‍♂️

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Silver Key missing in the Lighthouse (Grimbrook Haven - E1l05)
  
• Spiders can turn invisible on game load
  
• Spellstriker description typo
  
• Timed Run results are not uploaded to leaderboards for levels E2L10 and upwards.

Thanks to you, we found two showstopper bugs, one of which we introduced with the latest boss update. So, here's a hotfix for undisrupted gameplay. We apologize for the dark magic at work!

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

Enjoy!

[h3]UPDATE[/h3]

• If the Waypoint/goal is on another layer, the arrow next to it will indicate that on the map
  
• Saving during the boss fight is now disabled
  

[h3]FIXES[/h3]

• Some breakable walls are not getting destroyed
  
• Invalid tiles in E1L07
  
• Saving the game while on the Rat Mount, the Rat is not rideable when you load the game.
  
• Save/Load issue where you could spawn the same enemies over and over when mounting the Rat (that could lead to abusing the highscore)
  
• Chaos Hive issues with Enemy Count and Save/Load game
  
• Loot Disappearing
  
• Projectiles hitting Banshee's invisible collider
  

Thank you for your patience, feedback, reviews, and bug reports you have provided! We will keep updating and fixing the game until we get rid of the most bugs, and then we will start working hard towards the v1.0 release as well as the new character.

We have another surprise - a special game update coming at the end of this week, so stay tuned!

[h3]Enjoy the new update! ːCotcTorchː[/h3]
