Hi folks,

We've been listening to your feedback and suggestions over the past two weeks and have been updating the game accordingly :)

• Four New runes:
  
  
  • Sharpness
    
  • Shadow
    
  • Reflective-Roll
    
  • Double-Jump.
    
  
  
  
• Fortune rune now causes enemies/chests to drop additional money; instead of applying a flat discount. Vases and crates drop less money.
  
• You can now interrupt dodge rolling half way; with a jump.
• Controls:
  
  
  
  • Grid inventory and pause button are swapped on controller by default.
    
  • All standard buttons are rebindable including pause.
    
• Bug fixes:
  
  
  
  • Skeleton heads properly trigger dart traps even when attached
    
  • No more out of boomerang prompts while waiting for the last one thrown to return.
    
  • Can no longer shield bash the object you're carrying.
    
  • No gap at base of rising lava texture

  • Various other.
    
• A.I.:
  
  
  
  • Slimes now attack 33% faster; but regular slimes can only damage you during their jumping attacks.
    
  • Jellyfish have a telegraph animation.
    
  • Fewer enemies deal contact damage; and those that do (e.g. giant slimes) have revised rules including an added delay before applying that attack.
    
  • Mages are smarter and will avoid teleporting into obvious traps like lava or spears.
    
  
  
  
• Sound/graphics:
  
  
  
  • Improved support for higher resolutions. Title animations and coin prompt animations now scale properly.
    
  • Wall slide sound effect.
    
  • Engine support for looped sound.
