Just a quick announcement that version 1.1.12 of Retromancer is now available for download on Itch.io and through the Itch app.

This version fixes a number of bugs and smooths out the difficulty of the last few levels of the game.

Here's a complete listing of all the changes:

• [Community feedback] The first two power ups should now be unlocked automatically as intended, and you should no longer be able to dump infinite points into them
• [Community feedback] Tutorial messages can now be toggled on and off in the options menu
• [Community feedback] The cleric has been buffed:
  • All shots from the cleric now do 2 additional points of damage
  • When the cleric's shots explode, they will convert most enemy projectiles in range into new holy bolts
  • The cleric is now immune to the curse status effect
• [Community feedback] The Barbarian has been buffed:
  • The barbarian is now slightly faster, moving at the same speed as the cleric
  • The barbarian's dash recovers more quickly (the cooldown has been reduced to 1.75 seconds from 2.00 seconds)
  • The barbarian's dash attack now has a chance to stun enemies (Some enemies are more susceptible to being stunned than others)
  • The barbarian is more likely to ignore damage
• [Community feedback] The mage has been slightly nerfed
  • The mage's arcane bolts now do 1 damage, down from 2
  • The arcane rush upgrade now grants a 50% chance to get a rapid shot power up with any other power up, instead of a 100% chance

  • The total number of monsters in levels 25 and 26 has been reduced
  • The total number of monsters and the number of active monsters in level 27 have been reduced
  • Fewer eldritch hulks will now spawn in level 27, but it is now also possible for eldritch workers to spawn in that level
• [Community feedback] The duration of the curse and confusion effects has been reduced
• When resetting progress, the internal tracking of which levels had been completed was not reset, so you would receive achievements for any previously completed levels after completing the first level
• When using the mouse and keyboard the arrow keys can now be used for character movement in addition to the WASD keys
• Fixed cases where the victory screen was not correctly displayed at the end of the game
• Fixed some spelling errors & typos
