Hello Survival Typists, Glyphica Playtest 1 is now LIVE! We had to start 5 hours later than originally intended as we had been updating up to the last minute, and as what usually happens in these cases, introduced more bugs than we were aware of. Our sincere apologies for that, and we're hoping the short delay will be worth the more pleasurable play experience. [h3]What's New?[/h3] The playtest brings exciting changes from the demo build, all of which we would love to hear your take on them. [h3]New Trials Mode[/h3] Previously we only had an Endless Mode, but now we're introducing the main way we imagine you playing the game, our trials mode. Each trial consists of 5 omens, with each omen consisting of 3 missions of increasing difficulty, which can only be cleared after defeating the new bosses (more on those later). Each omen will also be more difficult and introduce a layer of randomness to the game. After clearing all the omens, you will have cleared the trial, and unlocked the endless mode. [h3]Bosses[/h3] We have 2 bosses ready for this playtest, and if all goes well, another one on the way by the next playtest. The Poet forces you to type its poetry before you can clear the stage (poor guy, he just wants someone to listen) and the Cypher is a boss who is both guarded by glyphs you need to decipher to attack him, as well as having an aura that encyphers any words near him. These are still quite unbalanced so we need to know how you get on with them!

Happy typing, everyone!
