The playtest will be active all of Saturday and Sunday (12/30/2023 - 12/31/2023). If you find any bugs please let me know of them and the steps you used to find them in the forums.

1. 4 new unique items now spawn on each floor for a total of 8 items for the first 2 floors.
2. Steam Dash now grants 0.2 seconds of invincibility.
3. Small rock piles now spawn on various tiles. These piles have a 100% chance of granting stone consumables.
4. 3 new tiles added to floor 1.
5. 1 new tile added to floor 2.
6. Passives are added as items unique to your character at the start of a run.
7. A "Last" floor called "End" has been added, this will work as a pseudo sheet layer, providing a shop that sells impossible or rare weapons to find. This floor will always show up at the end of your run, for this update that end is at depth 3.
8. Liftable rock curios are now attached to certain tiles, providing health or loot for the party if a character has enough strength.

1. Multiplayer NPC HP scaling has been reduced to +20% per player. (From +50%)
2. In addition to scaling HP being reduced, knights have also had their health slightly reduced. By about 15% each.
3. Powder Bugs and MudLungs now have a low chance of dropping "mess meat", which can be cooked for extra healing.
4. Healing items across the board have had their healing power increased by 30%. However, their cooked state has remained generally unchanged (Increasing by around 10% at most).
5. Marsh Ballista now has a 100% chance to drop something on death. Whether it be a consumable or a new weapon.
6. Mudlung health has been reduced to 13 (from 20). This puts them in range to be killed by a single full combo from the worn blade.

8. Fixed a bug making wandering enemies spawn twice per floor.

2. Stun's text now says "Stun!" instead of "Impact"
3. Button displays on tabs for ToDo(T), Player(P) and escape menu(Esc)

3. Can't attack at certain points. An error that persists until rejoining the room.
4. Rarely weapon fire rates seem to be cut in half upon another player leaving or dying.
5. Chance to be stuck in menu.

Working on next

2. Floor 4: The first floor that will allow a consistent way to farm ST stats.
