|---|---|---|
| Update 1.2.4 | 2016-07-05 | Additions: Added a monster counter to see how many roamers are still lurking in the caves. Fixes: Fixed Ancient Orange the Trader not selling more than 4 items if the item "A trader sells you +1 more item before he changes his location" was found. The jumping monster with the long tail can no longer escape into the void. If it ever tries to glitch through walls again, it will die and give you gold. The last update made Little Turnip the Weapon Trader immortal. He can now be slain again. Drunkard was able to speak while being dead. That is now fixed. Thanks Mr.Crane for finding and describing the problems! |

| Leaderboards! A Golden Greatsword for the best player! | 2016-03-18 | Added Steam Leaderboards! Only the best player in the world will be able to obtain a Golden Greatsword with Spikes! It deals 666 points of pure damage and is rewarded to only one player - the current leader with the most gold collected! http://i.imgur.com/X2K58R9.png Upon reaching the first place in the Leaderboards, continue to purchase weapons from Little Turnip and instead of the premium Greatsword with Spikes you will receive the ultra rare Golden variant!

| Update 1.2. Changes to controls. | 2016-03-06 | After analyzing all the feedback received so far, I decided to make the following significant changes to the controls: No more double clicks to perform heavy attacks. Heavy attacks can be performed with the right mouse click. Alternatively heavy attacks can be performed by pressing the Alt key. Attacks can be performed while in the air. Previously attacking enemies was only possible on the ground. The instakill button moved from the right mouse button to the key Q. The eating corpses or deploying a bomb button moved from Y to the Back button on the Xbox 360 controller. Y is now the heavy attack button on the controller. Added short descriptio |

| Update 1.1.3. Fixes and a timer for speedrunners! | 2015-10-11 | Additions For all you speedrunning maniacs I added a timer to the ending screen displaying the "Revenge time" it took to brutally slay your blood brother. Fixes Fixed enemies running into an invisible wall when coming towards the player. Was caused by the item "During executions enemies move 75% slower!" not turning off properly after executions. Now all enemies will move at their regular speeds 5 seconds after an execution is performed. Fixed not gaining any health when eating corpses and having 250HP as maximum health. Fixed traders spawning items inside walls and making them unreachable. Now traders check if any walls are over them. If any |

| Update 1.1.1: Changes to core combat. Sound fixed on 64-bit Linux. | 2015-08-20 | Core combat calibrations: Reduced single click regular attack timer by 50%. Hacking hordes feels better. Added another timer of 0.8 seconds to improve animation logic between single and double click attacks. Clicking now 3 times or more before a double attack animation will not play a delayed single attack animation after the double attack animation has finished. Balancing: Weapons are cheaper. 2000 gold instead of 3000 gold to buy a weapon from Little Turnip the weapon trader. He sells weapons randomly like a mystery box and the best weapons in the game like the Spiked Great Sword and the Blood Horn can only be obtained from him. Fixes: Fixe |
