Enemies

  • Enemies have lower base stats but now gain bonus life and power at later arenas, which should make runs easier at the beginning and harder towards the end relative to previous versions of the game.

  • Challenge Elite - Infested (Purple): Spawn fewer spiders on death.

Other

  • Added separate menu pages for audio, video, and game settings.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the game would crash after pressing the "start" button in the main menu.
  • Fixed a bug where the Invigorating Strike emblem was granting more mana than intended when casting spells with specific runes (e.g. Lash (Hydra)).
  • Fixed a bug where the Time Leak emblem could cause the game to freeze if triggered while standing next to a wall.
