Author: Ludokultur,

Things are rapidly moving forward with patches 0.85 through 0.9 all in one (cause the former primarily had full-version improvements)! Watch out for an [b]exciting announcement soon[/b]! :)
[h2]Patch notes (v0.9)[/h2]
[list]
[*] (Full version) Added [b]challenge runs[/b] (unique pre-defined gameplay variants). For example, start with only a few shots but gain 1 shot per kill; or tons of huge explosions that insta-kill enemies but lots of extra enemies; or extra shots but sometimes they go backwards. :D
[*] (Full version) New item [b]Black Hole[/b]: Pulls the closest enemy towards you when you fall into a hole. This brings the total to [b]111 items[/b]!
[*] Changed [b]Demolisher[/b] to work on the first X obstacles you touch (X being the number of Demolisher items you have) and not just during the first turn to give you more freedom to use the item in a planful way.
[*] Changed [b]Double Shot[/b] to trigger every other turn instead of only on the first turn since with the recent rework into a mini ball item it has lower immediate potential.
[*] (Full version) Made it possible to switch between unlocks in run-end screen when multiple items were unlocked in a run.
[*] Added tooltip to difficulty settings that shows all active difficulty effects.
[*] Prevented direct repetitions in item re-rolls from occuring.
[*] Excluded a few initially not very useful items from the random starting items pool for difficulty 15 and above.
[*] Added a few new sound effects.
[*] Added a few new icons and item graphics.
[*] Updated Unity engine to the latest LTS version. Primarily to ensure long-term compatibility, maintainability and (potentially) portability. You shouldn’t notice any difference except for maybe some performance improvements here or there.
[*] Optimized in-game lighting and added a third light quality setting.
[*] A bunch of general performance improvements and code cleanup.
[*] Several wording adjustments (shoutout to axerity).
[*] Countless smaller fixes and tweaks.[/list]
