The first-ever update v0.2.007 is now out! Before going through the changes, we’d like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that tested the game so far, the feedback has been awesome and a lot of the changes you see here come from the community!

Here is the full list of changes for this patch. We wanted to focus on the main issues players are having for now regarding balance and usability. Not all of the known issues are fixed yet, but we feel like these changes are crucial and should improve the gameplay considerably while allowing more customisation via the settings menu. Below is the full list of changes:

Key changes:
– Character attacks automatically if Main Skill button is held down;
– Added Camera options in the Settings menu so you can control sensitivity and few other options, exciting!
– Added Resolution options in the Settings menu, almost as exciting as above!
– Common enemies now drop Minor Soulstones, which soon you will be able to use to upgrade your character through the Skill Tree!

New spells:
– Flame Wave: Causes a large explosion at your position, dealing 100 damage to nearby enemies, applying Burn and pushing them back. You are also propelled into the air, but take no damage from the explosion. (suggested by magpy@Discord)
