Vampire Survivors Bone Zone update adds flower-farting dog

Vampire Survivor's latest character is a dog with the ability to fart out flowers. The powerful pupper was added to the hit indie game over the weekend as part of patch 0.5.1 and is very much as excellent as you'd imagine.

Vampire Survivor's cast of characters all have their unique abilities, though they all serve a similar purpose. The roguelike and bullet hell mashup sends waves of enemies your way, so you have to blast through them while managing your spacing appropriately or they'll swarm you. In case you were wondering, you can't pet this dog. They have a lot going on right now.

The new character arrives alongside other things in the new Vampire Survivors update. There's a new hard challenge stage called The Bone Zone that's essentially a room made of bones filled with levitating skeleton heads that float after you. Developer Poncle has also added one more rank for reroll and skip power-ups alongside two new arcanas. You've got heaps of tweaks and bug fixes, too.

Vampire Survivors update 0.5.1 takes us to The Bone Zone

Viral hit Vampire Survivors has hit Update 0.5.1, which released today, adding a new, quite hard challenge stage to the much-delighted-in game.

Vampire Survivors 0.5 adds Arcana power-ups and lots of cats

The new Vampire Survivors 0.5 patch notes are here along with the big new update for the roguelike game, which - as developer Poncle previously confirmed - is headlined by the inclusion of Arcana power-ups that can completely change the game. Also, cats. Lots of cats.

With the vampire game now at the halfway point, the big new Vampire Survivors Arcana update adds the long-promised "major new gameplay mechanic", which Poncle now reveals as power-ups. By finding the Randomazzo in Stage 4, players can unlock up to six major Arcana buffs - including the likes of critical attacks, improved healing, and even mid-match revivals.

Poncle describes this update as "the real Early Access content", as the introduction of Arcanas is apparently "largely untested due to the large amount of interactions it could have". The developer assumes there will be "major changes" to this mechanic in future updates, but hopes players will still "have fun finding new ways to break the game and reach 1 fps again".
