Antivirus PROTOCOL news & patch notes

• Updated the Demo to the most recent version of the game.
• Players that play the Demo and buy the game, will continue to play on the same save. (no need to start from the begining)
• Fixed a bug where Achievements earned in the Demo version would not trigger after buying the game.

Hello everyone! I've been listening to all your feedback and I did some balancing:

• Lowering the Boss HP in 6 levels

• Lowering corruption damage in 5 levels.

• Lowering prices for 8 key-upgrades

• Increased White Clone movement speed.

Now those harder levels should not feel like hitting a wall anymore.

Also it should not feel like perfect runs are needed to beat the Boss anymore.

• Added new logs to the archive_logs system.
• Upgrade prices and level progression balancing.

• Fixed a small bug where the archive logs screen would not open.

• Made a small fix for people that didn't get the last Achievement, it should now trigger on game launch for them.

• Mouse cursor is locked to the window during gameplay.

• Fixed a bug where the mouse cursor would not show during the end scene.

New:

• Added a new enemy type (Level 2)

• Added a new behavior for the green enemies

• Targeting System Rewritten: Now prioritizes designated targets (e.g., green enemies and the new enemy type), similar to how the Boss is targeted.

• Updated corruption level bar UI

• Tweaked several upgrade levels, requirements, and costs.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug that caused inconsistent currency gain on player death.

• Fixed a bug where double-drop currency values were not reflected in the end-of-level summary.
