MidBoss version 1.0.4 is out now, containing detailed stats, new Steam achievements, and most importantly the new death cards! These cards are generated upon death (or beating the game) and contain detailed data about your run and how it ended. They even contain your entire inventory! You can share these images with your friends or on Twitter, and import them into the game to view the detailed information and replay the game with the same seed and settings.

Version 1.0 of MidBoss is now live, and with it the Steam closed beta has started. Owners of the game on itch can redeem a Steam key to gain access to the game now! Additionally, players who play during the closed beta period will receive an exclusive platinum death card border. Scroll down to see what it looks like.

What are death cards? They look like trading cards, but they summarize your run and your death, and you can share them on Twitter. Death cards are not yet working; they’ll be in the game later in the closed beta. When they arrive, however, they’ll have embedded data that can be loaded in-game to show more information about the run, or let you replay the game with the same seed and game settings.

To request a Steam key:

• If you made an itch.io account: Look at your purchase history and find MidBoss. The Steam key should be available from the downloads page.
  
• If you did not make an account but you did keep the digital receipt: The email is from itch.io with a subject line of "Your purchase of 'MidBoss." Follow the download link included in that email; the Steam key should be on that page.
  
• If you did not make an account and did not keep the digital receipt: You'll need to go to itch.io's support page and use the "Recover Games" option with the email address you used when you purchased the game.

For more information read our newsletter, or check the beta FAQ.

PS: If you like our games, another game of ours - Ultra Hat Dimension, a cute hat based puzzle game - is on Greenlight and could use your vote!
