[h2]Adventure mode has been completely overhauled[/h2]


    [h3]
  • Players now have a choice of a series of different temples to play.
  • Each adventure mode temple has a specific whip, relic, and series of challenges attached to it.
  • Players can increase the challenge of an adventure mode temple to increase the rewards you unlock.[/h3]



[h2]Classic mode is now called Abyss Mode[/h2]


    [h3]
  • Abyss mode is the true Phantom Abyss experience.
  • Progress through all 4 areas of the game. (Ruins, Caverns, Inferno, Rift)
  • An extra challenge is added each floor.
  • 1 Relic, located at the end of the Rift.
  • Only 1 person will ever beat a specific temple.
  • Many relics to find - each hidden in increasingly difficult Abyss Mode Temples.[/h3]



    [h3]
  • Curses have been removed from whips.
  • Whips are unlocked by playing adventure mode.
  • Whip skins are unlocked via opt-in challenges[/h3]


[h3]Torn-apart landscape The Rift is an area slowly being torn apart by the abyss. It features large areas filled with floating debris, whirlpools, and corruption spreading through the walls.[/h3]

[h3]New rift traps:[/h3]


    [h3]
  • Lasers: Moving, rotating and cycling deadly lasers.
  • Grapple nodes: Floating nodes that you can grapple-whip continuously without needing to land.
  • Many new rooms[/h3]


  • [h3]An upgrade well that provides permanent upgrades can be found in the HUB and in the first floor of temples.
  • Upgrades are purchased with keys. Rarer keys = better upgrades. [/h3]


[h2]Dash forwards in the direction you’re facing, including up or down![/h2]


[h3]
  • Players are able to add extra challenges to their temple.
  • Doing so will make rarer keys more likely to find, and unlock additional whip skins.
[/h3]


[h2]The HUB has been dramatically condensed.[/h2]

  • [h3]The portal is much faster to get to, and the HUB now focuses around 4 pillars.
  • Each pillar represents one of the 4 zones in the game (ruins, caverns, inferno, and rift.) [/h3]




[h2]The Crowbar[/h2]
  • [h3]Power: Shockwave
  • Wherever you whip creates a shockwave, interacting (and disabling) anything it touches.[/h3]

[h2]The Snake [/h2]
  • [h3]Power: Time Slow
  • Bound to a button - activate to slow time for several seconds. [/h3]

[h2]Lunar Whip [/h2]
[h3]
  • Power: Super Dash
  • Dash is upgraded to be…super.
[/h3]


[h2]A lot of whip powers have been swapped around or added.[/h2]

[h3]
  • Powers available at end-of-floor shrines are now always other whip powers.
  • Heals have been moved to blessing shrines - which are only found in hidden nooks and crannies.
[/h3]


[h2]Well, we just removed it...[/h2]


[h2]No more loading the HUB to replay the game. Hit retry directly after you die![/h2]


[h3]But that's not all![/h3]
