Ramen-ten ‘Heart Abyss’ news & patch notes

Hey everyone!

The HEART ABYSS team is here! We’re sorry to tell you, but the Open Playtest will wrap up on May 12th at 13:00 UTC. It’s time for Leon to return to his cage!

You still have a few days to conquer the Iwamoto Mines, test out the new combat system and platforming mechanics, fry the boss with Leon’s "Electric Strike," and delve deeper into the lore of the HEART ABYSS world.

Don’t forget to share your feedback! What was cool? What needs more polish? Which moments stuck with you, and which enemies made you break a sweat? We’ll read it all and get it to work!

And Wishlist the game if you haven't already!

With love,

The HEART ABYSS Team

Hey everyone!

The HEART ABYSS team is here! We invite you to take a break from cooking ramen and join Leon in slicing and dicing enemies in the HEART ABYSS Open Playtest!

A Whole New Level! You’ll get access to the "Iwamoto’s Mines" ― the second level of the game, where Leon finds himself after escaping Masta’s mansion in the Prologue.

Overhauled Combat System:

- Dash-Parry: We’ve added a parry mechanic tied to your dash.

- Refined Tempo: We slowed things down just a bit to make the combats clearer and juicier.

- Expanded Move List: Leon now has an uppercut, a down-thrust, and a heavy attack.

Let’s see how it works in your hands!

New Threats:

Hidden in the dark corners of the mines are not one, not two, but four new types of enemies.

And, of course, a new boss. He’s not just huge; he’s a total curveball. Let’s just say he’s the last thing you’d expect to find in the mines of feudal Japan.

Good luck making it out of that meat grinder!

To help you with that, Leon gains his first ability ― Electro Strike. Learn how to use it, and start carving through enemies with powerful bursts of energy.

We’ve also added several new platforming mechanics. We are sure that they’ll definitely come to you!

And of course ― more story. You’ll uncover a piece of the HEART ABYSS world, Leon’s past, and the forces standing against him.

Go ahead to conquer the mines of Iwamoto!

Once you’ve hacked every enemy to pieces, hop into our Discord to share your impressions and report any bugs you find. And don’t forget to Wishlist the game!

With love,

The HEART ABYSS Team

Hey everyone!

Here’s another fresh-out-of-the-oven patch, seasoned with a few small improvements.

What’s fixed:

•     All windows are now draggable. No more “drag” button. Just like Windows.

•     You can now interact with other windows while the settings window is open.

•     All windows are clickable, even if several are open at once.

•     If the main window’s interface is hidden but another one is selected, the interface will appear when you hover over the main window.

•     Bugs that made it impossible to get achievements for leveling up and for the number of ramen sold.

•     Other small bugs.

And a few things have been changed:

•     The auto-purchase timer has been changed from 1 minute to 30 seconds.

•     Minor visual tweaks.

•     The maximum number of warehouse upgrades has been increased from 20 to 40.

Update the game and keep enjoying the cooking!

With love,

The HEART ABYSS Team
