No, this is not an April Fool! It's really here! You can now use the tab key when mapping keyboard controls! (And some other things too) Version 4.2 - April 1, 2022

• Stage timer is now off by default and can be re-activated in the options menu.
• Removed ban on 'tab' as a mappable key.
• Fixed point in Mt Afrokupa where it was easy to accidentally backtrack and get stuck in a previous point in the stage.

Today some minor updates to a few stages and some big changes to the Pumpkin King to make him a little bit more manageable. If the pumpkin heads are giving you a bit too much trouble, you can now defeat them for some food mid-fight! Level design changes are primarily to aide in guiding players towards the goal in some areas where the secret route might have been a bit too obvious. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/24679254/f02dc6c6e8a6f571a7e80eff7cdc2b45dd82f9ff.png Version 4.1 - February 22, 2020

• Added a visual indicator for kill planes in stages.
• The Pumpkin King has seen some revisions:
  • The Pumpkin King can no longer turn around while charging his fire attack.
  • False Pumpkins can now be defeated with a combination of the harpy boost and the mermaid anchor. They have 8HP (3 hits).
  • Pumpkins will drop food on defeat, offering a slower, but safer method to fighting the Pumpkin King.
  • Pumpkins hover about 8 pixels lower.
  • Pumpkin fire rate rounded up to 4 seconds between shots.
  • Pumpkins now synchronize their shots and will always fire about half a second apart rather than it being dependant on when the pumpkins spawn.
• Changed backdrop tiles for Mt Afrokupa.
• Changed how you access Mt Afrokupa TNT switch. In its previous format, it was too easy to mistake for the correct route, leading to confusion.
• minor level modifications.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/24679254/6eaafe3103636d0e09c6abd8eae457f2cfba388c.png At the request of King Captain, one of the Khimera speedrunners, I've added a no-hit medal that will overwrite the no-death medal if you can complete a stage without getting hit! Honestly that sounds stupid hard so I'm not going to do it but you can if you like! Version 4.0 - October 10, 2019

• Added no-hit medal for clearing stages without taking a hit!
  • Does not contribute to 100%!
  • Obtained for completing the entire stage from start to finish without taking a hit.
  • Replaces no-death medal on map screen.
  • Cannot be obtained with berserk mode active.

It's the 391st Khimera! This update fixes a few bugs and refines the changes introduced in 3.9! Version 3.9.1 - July 29, 2019

• Fixed bug introduced in 3.9 causing dash to let Chelshia phase through enemies.
• Reduced input buffers from 10 frames to 3.
• Reversed some level modifications.

Today we have a slew of QoL updates to Chelshia's movement including an input buffering method so she won't drop inputs as often. Also a new checkpoint in Mechanical Mayhem (something suggested for like a year oops) Version 3.9 - July 28, 2019

• Fixed broken background in race results screen.
• Fixed objects not properly spawning in the center of breakable objects.
• Fixed being able to climb up into the quiz room from the previous room's ceiling, softlocking the game.
• Costume choice in race mode now saves, costume will be automatically equipped every time you enter race mode.
• Attacking & Jumping now have 10-frame buffers. Pressing a button while Chelshia is currently inactive or otherwise too busy to respond will result in an up to 10 frame grace period where the action can take place once she is free again (instead of just dropping the input).
• Saucy Shot changes:
  • Releasing punch no longer resets charge, but instead decrements charge level.
  • 15 frame buffer added where the button can be released while immobilized and still have it fire once able.
• Harpie Boost is no longer interrupted by enemies.
  • This does not extend to falling spikes, giant cannonballs or track spikes.
• Added 3rd checkpoint to Mechanical Mayhem between crusher segment and the rising spikes.
• Minor level modifications.

Tonight is a few minor QoL updates and issues brought forward by the Khimera: DaMG Speedrun discord server. If you're interested in running the game, their server is a great place to start: https://discord.gg/nUqzFa8 Version 3.8 - May 10, 2019

• Added current stage's collectables to HUD when % counter is on.
• Fixed collected fairy money sometimes spawning in walls.
  • (This was what was forcing them to teleport to Chelshia, resulting in phantom 100's being collected).
• Config will not automatically switch to gamepad on boot if the controls have been reconfigured.

A minor update today just fixing a rogue gem that would clip into the wall in Ragazza, being collected automatically. Also Chelshia canonically eats rice now. Version 3.7.5 - April 25, 2019

• Fixed a 100 gem in Ragazza Plains automatically being collected on spawn.
• Added rice balls to list of dropped food items.

A small update to Khimera fixing the "connected to steam" message issue as well as a long overdue update to Mouthface's pallet. She is now in line with her original design. Special thanks to her original creator, Buttingston, for sorting that out for me! Version 3.7 - February 25, 2019

• Fixed "connected to steam" message displaying false negative.
• Fixed Mouthface's pallet.

Version 3.6 is a quick update to fix the DLC not always being unlocked when it should be! Right now I think that its now incorrectly identifying steam connection state but that's just a visual error which will be remedied in a later patch. If you'd like a copy of Khimera without all the Steam shenanigans, you can now download Khimera on itch.io: https://suits-sandals.itch.io/khimera-destroy-all-monster-girls Version 3.6 - February 10, 2019

• Fixed some cases where game incorrectly identifies purchase state of DLC.

Recently Khimera: Destroy all Monster Girls appeared at AGDQ2019, run by WR holder Snapcase! You can catch up on the run here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofwao_TP8wI As for today's update, it is mostly QoL and bugfixes. Chelshia has a new mechanic where she will attempt to nudge up or down on a wall to clear a ledge, helping alleviate issues with just barely missing a gap with the dash. As always, let me know what you think! Version 3.5 - January 12, 2019

• Recovery from backup; some stuff MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT WEIRD! (please report any errors you find on steam discussion)
• Chelshia will now attempt to nudge up or down in order to clear ledges.
• Fixed getting stuck on pogo when catching a ledge just right.
• Fixed being able to lock Chelshia's moves by firing saucy shot out of a pogo attack.
• Fixed bosses appearing see-through on map screen during Ragazza Plains Cutscene.
• Fixed old level theme (fairy theme) playing after completing the quiz.
• Made trading quest 'item received effect' easier to see.

In 3.2 I had overhauled how moves work to fix punching locking up directionals. This allowed you to move in midair while punching and preserve your momentumn, but it also introduced a few cases where specific combinations of interraction and attacking would lock up Chelshia. I believe I've been able to fix these lock-ups but please do not hesitate to drop in on steam discussion or comment on this post if the issue persists. I apologize for the inconvenience. Version 3.4 - July 9, 2018

• Fixed OoB in final stage.
• Halved screen shake affect on earth shaker.
• Fixed being able to jump with earth shaker.
• Fixed lockup related to springs
• Fixed lockups related to interrupting attacks with dash and boost (hopefully).
• Fixed Typo in Mimi's bio.
• Fixed background flicker in ???.
• Added additional track for ???.

A small fix for Khimera is out today, fixing some geometry errors introduced in 3.2. Thank you everyone who has been posting bugs and glitches on the steam discussion board! Version 3.3 - June 23, 2018

• Fixed missing geometry in Sky Fortress
• Fixed getting stuck in wall after transition in Black Widow.

It introduces a few overdue bugfixes and simpler weather particles to help performance on low end machines. Also you can move and punch in midair at THE SAME TIME! Version 3.2 - June 12, 2018

• Fixed OoB in Sky Fortress
• Made Sky Fortress collision a bit more efficient (fewer blocks to calculate for).
• Reintroduced OoB skip in Icy Path (in exchange for the sacrifice of 8 anime girls and 2 anime boys).
• New simpler, more efficient weather particles should reduce risk of slowdown on low-end machines.
• Fixed saucy shot & demon fire deactivating and reactivating after screen transition.
• Chelshia no longer loses forward momentum while punching in midair. You can freely change direction.
• F9 screen shots now save with date stamps so they don't overwrite previous screen shots.

Mostly a few more bugfixes and some OoB corrections. Maybe a little visual boost to a certain stage.... Version 3.1 - May 1, 2018

• Fixed OoB in Icey Path (thx Lyth).
• Black Widow changes:
  • New stage-exclusive background to better fit the tone of the stage.
  • Fixed two OoB deaths (thx Doki).
  • Fixed some efficiency issues in black widow's geometry.
  • You can now properly backtrack up Black Widow to re-attempt the second fairy.
  • Removed pits in 3rd checkpoint room.
• Fixed title steam connect reading wrong string (thx literally everyone).
• Fixed being able to trigger menu nav sfx while menu not visible on title screen.

• Altered '6' and '9' on default font to make it more readable.
