Hello Abyssonauts!

We continue to tweak the HP on bosses on the experimental branch in the quest for the sweet spot especially in harder difficulties.

We'd love to hear everyone's feedback on how they feel in the current experimental build, are they too hard? Too easy? Do they die too quick or slowly? All feedback would be greatly appreciated below this post in the comments.

Thanks in advance, your feedback has been invaluable in helping us shape the game so far and put together improvements for the upcoming first content patch.

Notes:

[h3]1.2.1.35 Changes[/h3]

Abyssonauts!

Our first patch is here in the form of a hotfix! Thank you to everyone who has submitted reports and feedback so far! This hotfix is PC specific and is on GoG but will come to PC Gamepass later. We're also working on console fixes for the black screen issue, and Nintendo Switch performance issues which we'll keep everyone updated on through our socials!

We also have a whole heap of changes to the experimental branch, including optional items, pick-up pets pause before they grab, auto-save (so you can leave the game mid run and pick it back up!) and much more further down in this news post!

[h3]Hotfix 1[/h3]

• Cursor not confined to fullscreen fix.
  
• French keyboard compatibility .
  
• Remove Vibrant Ball, Peter and Jack (until a full update with reworked pet mechanics - see experimental notes.)
  
• Saya animation bug fix.
  
• Fix for credits not scrolling.
