Our first update since the Early Access launch comes with some pretty major improvements. Performance has been greatly improved, we've reworked the balance of ascending, and we added some really nice new visual effects and fixed some others.

We've made some major changes to how some core bits are handled so you can rise much more efficiently now. There should be far fewer frame drops now, even during the most chaotic of events.

This has also opened the door to some new interesting mechanics that we are excited to implement now that we can put a ton more dust and trails on the screen at once, so keep an eye out for that in the near future.

You will notice a few new juicy visual updates in this latest release. There is now (finally!) a visual effect for the magnet, that I think came out really well :). This should make it much more clear what the radius of the magnet is and when it is active, as well as where the Go Getter is most effective.

The trails have also received a major overhaul so they are much smoother and just generally nicer looking now, as well as much more efficient to render on the screen freeing up much more space for some future mechanics. The stars in the chaotic events that occur in space also now have some nice colorful wiggly trails.

After much deliberation we've decided that the mechanic that forces your height to reset on skill purchase, effectively making you go down, is simply too punishing and frankly disgusts us, so we've removed it entirely. After all this is Go Up! You are now free to Go Up, unrestrained by the burden of saving your Golden Dust for just the right moment. It's your dust and you need it now! Spend freely, and ascend to greater heights than ever before.

We've implemented balance adjustments to bring greater tactical depth to Karina, the iconic close-combat archetype character. We're introducing a new mechanic called "The Breathing Rhythm of Draw and Sheath" to her previously unlimited sword techniques.

A New Cadence in Swordsmanship
Kalyna's sword attacks are now limited to a maximum of 4 consecutive strikes. After the fourth strike, she must sheathe her sword and charge for a moment before unleashing her next slash. This change shifts the focus from endless sword swinging to a more strategic interplay between offense and spacing. Players must now master the swordsman's sense of "timing" for a more tactical combat style.
Magic Consumption and Balance Optimization

• Ultimate Enhancement Magic MP Cost: 50 → 100
  
• Ultimate Sword Magic Attack Power: 10 → 7
  
• Sword Enhancement Magic Duration: 60 seconds → 30 seconds

These adjustments make magic management and timing crucial for Karina players. Whether to unleash a powerful strike or maintain sustained combat—situational judgment will now determine victory or defeat.
This update isn't about weakening Kalyna, but rather providing a deeper combat experience. The tension of sheathing your blade, the anticipation of the next strike—forge new legends on the battlefield with the evolved Kalyna.

• Applied another fix to a niche issue where two copies of a level could be loaded at once.

New Meat is now certified Positive on Steam, with ten reviews and counting! As a way of saying thanks, I've added ten new Curios to the game! Welcome to The Stay Positive Update!

What's it got?

That's right! Ten all-new Curios are waiting in the Meat Dungeon, and these are some of the wildest yet. Get a peek at upcoming bosses with the 8-Ball, turn extra keys into energy with the Practice Lock, or use the Bubblegum Wrapper to get extra special reward rooms at the cost of no healing springs.

A loose theme of these new Curios is one of trade-offs. Rather than just providing small, passive buffs, most of these new ones ask you to make some kind of trade-off for a much bigger bonus. My goal is for every Curio you pick up to change the way you play in some manner, and these new Curios really push that "game changer" angle farther than most.

I also added some notable upgrades to a...secret mechanic with which some of you might be familiar. Unfortunately spoiler tags are being weird, so you'll just have to find it for yourself.

Or maybe it will find you.

...

Oh, and I fixed some spelling and collision things.

Anyway, enjoy the update!
