Update 5.1.1

[h3]I MAY have finally diagnosed the source of the performance problems - there is a quality option in SETTINGS that I want you to try if you've been suffering from low framerate. Let me know how much of a difference it makes for you if the game was chugging before. Depending on the response, I'll see what else I can do in terms of actual performance improvements, but I'm hopeful that this will make a big difference for many players.[/h3]


[h3]⚖ BALANCE[/h3]
  • (perk) Emerald: Shell + Stone + Emerald is nearly invincible… This perk was never intended to synergize THAT much with Shield perks (I didn't have Shield in mind at all when I came up with it, honestly). Emerald is changing to "70% chance to ignore hits while at or below 10 Health & 5 Shield".
  • (mode) Shmup Mode: Turrets with Movespeed now move vertically twice as fast as they used to.
  • (turret) Tank: Should feel better in Shmup Mode now.



[h3]🔄 CHANGES[/h3]
  • Daily Dive: Made some changes (including expanding upon the list of potential "modifiers" with some potentially really crazy ones). This has resulted in today's Daily Dive modifiers changing.
  • The SETTINGS menu has been completely re-organized, and now features a "quality" option.


[h3]🔨 FIXES[/h3]
  • More fixes that close the gap in terms of how the game behaves at different framerates.
  • If the Daily Dive changed while you were playing it and you won the run, it would count as a daily win on the new Daily Dive.
  • (mode) Classic: (Hopefully) fixed the rare chance that an item would appear in the shop that you can't equip (because you've filled all slots of that type).
  • (turret) Helix, (mode) Brood: Helix was able to get extinction mutations in Brood Mode, which shouldn't be possible.
  • (turret) Helix: Projectiles no longer warp to mid-range when Sticky activates.
  • The GUIDE stated that Bounce adds 400% width to Hitscan weapons (this was recently changed to 500%).
  • It's no longer possible for your values representing Biomass gained & Biomass spent to decrease (a certain turret was capable of this…).
  • (turret) Jester: Item prices in the shop will no longer be red if purchasing an item increased your current total Biomass.
