New Curse System and Steam Next Fest - Time to type badass guns!

[h2]New Upgrades[/h2][p]Frost and Lightning upgrades just got a bit badass — or at least, they look badass now.[/p][p][/p][h2]New Curse System[/h2][p]Every few rounds, a nasty curse drops in to spice things up. Sounds scary, right? [/p][p]But chill — you actually get to see what it is before it hits, so you can plan your upgrades like a genius.[/p][p]So yeah, nothing to fear. Just send it. Trust me.[/p][p][/p][h2]New Daily and Weekly Leaderboard[/h2][p]The leaderboard feature’s been around for a while now (about five days or so)— so WHY am I still not seeing your name?

[/p][p]If this game hits the top 3 on the Next Fest play charts, I’ll post a nude pic… oh no, I mean, I’ll have a big meal.No, wait — Actually I’ll randomly carefully pick a name from the replies to this post, use it as inspiration for a new character, and add it to the DEMO. Sounds crazy? jsut as hard as getting this game into the top 3, "Absolutely no need to stress", I told myself.[/p][p][/p][p]Best,[/p][p]Tholus[/p][p][/p]

Auto Targeting and Click Mode

[p]Greetings ![/p]
Character Movement
[p] The character has gained a new sense of focus: instead of pacing left and right, the character now automatically lock onto the most threatening enemy.[/p][p] That said, focus is limited—so when using a pistol, accuracy isn’t quite as sharp as before. But trust me: overall hit rates are much higher, especially with weapons like sniper that don’t have spread.[/p][p][/p]
Click Mode
[p]
I’ve added a brand-new Click Mode.
When enabled, you can issue commands with L-click and confirm with R-click.
However, this basically turns the game into Click Break—so in this mode, you won’t earn EXP or achievements (not that there are any yet).[/p]
[p]“But it feels amazing.” — a developer who’s already enjoyed it. Oh, that's me.[/p]
Other Updates
[p]
Added more upgrade options for Fire, Frost, Lightning, Water, and Oil—around 30 to 40 new ones in total.[/p][hr][/hr][p]I’ve tested all this and had a blast—hope you will too.
If you’re having fun (or not), feel free to reply to this post.[/p][p][/p][p]Best,[/p][p]Tholus[/p]
