Character Upgrade Additions

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32575180/73fe1f7cfb123fef8726a0afbb0525e399414920.png

• Reforging: A new upgrade that enhances how you use upgrade forges scattered throughout the worlds.
• Reduced resonant crystal cost of starter rune-related upgrades (if you've purchased them, some crystals will be refunded). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32575180/e0ea9d530529ac9b658fabc9ccdd41732a6687c5.gif

Tip: Resonant crystals can be earned by unlocking items or world shortcuts. You can toggle upgrades on/off anytime in exchange for run XP.

Dynamic control scheme detection

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32575180/3501cfb09a6b2d08b4fb0fef92c625b31b315d5e.png The game now automatically detects if you're using gamepad/mouse control schemes. Swapping every time a button is clicked (instead of prompting you). You can toggle this on/off in the controls menu.

Localization Improvements

We've continued to improve localization across menus and gameplay elements.

Other quality of life changes

• New startup loading screen.
• User interface improvements. E.g., World and level number shown in the HUD instead of level/maxLevel. Visual fixes to unlock-related menus.
• Weapons/Gadgets/Spells can only be reforged 3 times by default (though you can upgrade this limit), to encourage swapping between different equipment.

As always, your feedback is most welcome! Have fun!

Greetings adventurers, Aura of Worlds, the premium edition of our game, is available with a major update to boot.

Greetings adventurers! Here's more of we've been working on since launch:

• Reworked Tutorial: We've reworked it to be more intuitive and forgiving, based on player feedback.
• Localization improvements to all languages.
• Tackling: Increased damage and stun aspect of grabbing and throwing opponents at each other. We also made the UI prompt for it clearer. Tip: you can grab and throw most opponents while they're stunned or unaware of you.
• Hard Mode Rework:
  • Added a new achievement for completing a world on hard mode.
  • All bosses have faster attack patterns. Note: For one boss, you may need to have completed the first area before the new updated patterns appear.
  • All bosses have increased hp.
• Reworked the Blood Thirsty character background perk, toning down the HP regained from bosses and limiting the number of orbs drawn at a time. Tip: You can unlock character background perks by rescuing someone in the Catacombs..
• Multiple UI enhancements, especially related to prompts.
• Considerable optimization work to allow the game to run faster on older devices.
