Patch notes are imported from steam. There may be errors. This mostly exists so I can stay on top of them to update the features in our tags and scoring categories (which I do manually), but since many of you liked the idea of staying up to date with all the games in one place I'm working on making this data automated (right now I manually hit it every couple days) with better info and linking in with the game views.

There will be more data and proper atribution here (original author, steam link, original post date, etc) real soon, I promise. This is just like a technical test to see if they're coming in ok at all.

TombStar » v1.1.0 is HERE! Introducing Easy Mode, Grimheart Badges and NEW ACHIEVEMENTS!

We’ve just popped out a REALLY EXCITING UPDATE, full of NEW FEATURES, a brand new EASY MODE and a couple of big bug fixes!

Here’s what’s new in version 1.1.0:

New Features:


Special “Grimheart Badges” have been added which can be unlocked by completing in-game achievements. Each badge dramatically alters gameplay, and they can be stacked to create unique combinations.

Grimheart Badges:

  • High Octane (everything moves faster)
  • Danmaku (more projectiles, slower speed)
  • Wild Guns (random guns every time you dodge)
  • Only Need One (start the game with only 1 heart)

Easy difficulty:

Players can now lower the game’s difficulty by toggling a setting in the options menu. The easier difficulty lowers enemy fire rates and projectile speeds, and increases health and gold drops – this results in a slower-paced, more relaxed experience.

Updates:

  • Returned A.J’s starting weapon to the previous damage amount with a slightly nerfed fire rate.
  • Slightly reduced the difficulty of levels 1-Settler’s Run and 2-Glow Caves
  • Meteor Summoner attack VFX updates
  • New Achievements – Beating the game with High Octane, Only Need one, and both at the same time.
  • Added some new rooms to the Cave and Moon biomes.
  • Some performance updates
  • Improved the background cloud fill, mostly focused on lower-quality settings
  • Overhauled the general shaders

Resolved Small lag spikes on some pcs for the following:
  • Rocky Rumble Projectiles
  • First Occurrence of the Train traps
  • Entering the Shop
  • Drop pod enemies
  • BurningBlades/Bolstered blades charge start
  • Entering Chest rooms
  • Sniper Ultimate effect
  • Enemy Enrage
  • Barrel Explosions
  • Reward drops
  • Hover Clubs explosion
  • Gaining Ultimate Charge
  • Collecting a heart
  • Barfingtons Barf
  • Heal beams

Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed issue where input glyphs were not correctly showing on some tooltips
  • Fixed an issue where the Tick on L&P and the Chest would flicker on the minimap
  • Resolved an issue where numerous enemies could not have their fire rates adjusted, which would affect some enemies when they enrage
