Lilac 0 News

Quick note for anyone who may have missed it: Lilac 0 now uses Steam Cloud!

Update 1.3 Patch Notes

Display

• The fullscreen option now uses Exclusive Fullscreen and non-integer scaling (this means the game will try to fit the entire screen in this setting and should also reduce input lag)
  

Gameplay

• You now create a small circular area at the end of each dash that clears projectiles for a fraction of a second. This should make dashing safer, as it gives you more time to readjust to the situation
  
• Dash now deals slightly more damage
  
• Enemies now blink when near death, indicating they can be killed with a single dash
  

Scoring

• You now start losing your chain multiplier after a 1.5s delay. Touching enemies with your shot, using your dash, and collecting HP pickups resets this duration. This allows you to maintain your multiplier across the entire level for a much higher score
  
• Your overall multiplier is now capped at ×16
  
• Reaching certain score thresholds rewards you with +1 HP (250000, 500000, 1000000, 2000000). Your score will become brighter and orange when you get close to these thresholds
  
• Style points are now awarded one by one during chains
  
• Bosses now display a timer in the top-right corner of your screen
  
• Using a non-damaging dash during a boss fight incurs a 20s penalty to the timer
  
• You are awarded points based on the time left when you defeat the boss
  
• Some transitions have been shortened slightly to prevent breaking your slice chain
  

Balancing Level 2

• Various enemies no longer deal contact damage
  
• Some attacks from the midboss have been toned down in both Novice and Arcade mode
  
• The boss now uses aimed projectiles in Phases 1 and 3 instead of random bursts of projectiles
  

Level 3

• The Eel's fire rate has been reduced
  
• The Jellyfish wave now behaves differently to be slightly more dangerous
  
• The Brain bonus boss no longer deals contact damage
  

Visibility

• Jellyfish in the background of Level 3 have been resprited to be less distracting
  
• Shockwave attacks in Level 3 are now slightly brighter.
  
• Missile projectiles have been resprited to be brighter.
  
• The first boss's laser is now displayed on a lower layer so it does not hide projectiles during the fight.
  
• The tentacles of Jellyfish enemies are now brighter.
  

Music

• The track Hope of Molybdion was changed for better mixing.
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash that occurred when using the mouse to spam-click certain buttons.
