Earth Update!
Hi everyone- there’s a new update dropping right now!
Here’s a breakdown of what’s in the new update:
-New playable character Orion!
-New world- the Moon Base!
6 new room types to play with, and new expansions to shops!
Keys are a new mechanic that'll switch up how you play your run!
Difficulty- the game was frankly too hard, and has been rebalanced- a hard version of the game is still available with the hard mode toggle!
Runs improved- The worlds are shorter, and runs now include every world, so you can fight all of the planets in one run- or, you can take a detour!
Enemies- A rework of how enemies spawn, making things both easier and more fun. New enemies now available in various zones, and a new planet boss!
Items- New active item charge system that works off damage as well as kills, so now items feel more involved for boss fights- plus active items can be held in the inventory and swapped between! A rework of ice and poison to make them into fun item routes! A few new items, with another item drop around the corner!
General overall polish with ui, music, and cutscenes! Various bugfixes, improvements to different resolutions and hopefully performance!
Thanks everyone for your feedback over the past few months since EA dropped. I think the game has grown a million times better than it would have if I had worked privately up until full release- and I still have a lot more to add before the game is finished. As always, please share your feedback with me on Discord!
I hope you enjoy this new version of Asterogues!
