New Skills, New Enemies, Dodge Rework & A Pile of Fixes

New shrine skills

Spectral Bow — Summons a spectral bow follower that shoots nearby enemies. You can have up to 3 followers total from all follower skills.

Napalm — Your projectiles and followers can proc burn on hit. Each additional pick increases burn damage.

Toilet Brush — Your projectiles and followers can proc poison on hit. Each additional pick increases poison damage.

Magic Missile Overload — Extra picks increase missile damage; Split Shot adds rockets per volley.

Body Odor — Unlocks a toxic aura around you. Enemies inside take damage each tick and can be poisoned; stacks increase radius and damage.

New enemies

The Grasslands horde has more variety as a run goes on — not just more bodies, but different threats with different kits.

Horde (wave spawns)

Early

• Battle Bee — Fast, armored pest that mixes melee and ranged pressure.
• Goblin and Goblin 2 — Two goblin variants in the opening pool so early waves aren't one-note.

Mid-run (once you've leveled a bit)

• Armored Goblin — Tanky bruiser with heavy armor.
• Skeleton, Skeleton 2, and Skeleton 3 — Skeleton variants that roll in as the run heats up.
• Rock Golem — Rare heavy spawn. Slow, armored, and throws rocks and stone walls when it closes in.

Late-run

• Goblin Warrior and Goblin Warrior (M) — Big health pools and hard-hitting melee. You'll feel these when the timer is winding down.

Timed minibosses

Three named bosses hit the map on a schedule during a run:

• Big Chunck (~2 min) — Rock throws that knock you back, plus spike walls that cut across your lane.
• Diabeetus (~6 min) — Acid bullets, acid spit, and spike walls.
• Baal'Zak (~12 min) — Fireballs, meteor showers, and rock bursts. The late-run checkpoint before the end.

Burn & poison got a pass

Status effects were tightened up:

• Burn — Short burst based on enemy max HP.
• Poison — Longer, stackable damage over time.

Level-up picks Dutch Oven and Unlicensed Doctor increase burn and poison chance on your hits. The in-run stats panel now shows Burn Chance and Poison Chance.

Slide is gone. Dodge is in.

The old slide mechanic is out. Left Ctrl (or Control) is now a dash:

• Burst in the direction you're moving — or forward if you're standing still
• Damages enemies you pass through
• Dodge animation only plays when you're actually moving

Dash collision was tightened so you're less likely to clip through walls or lose the whole move on a ramp.

Wrath of God — lightning strike interval now decreases as you stack the skill.

World & UI quality-of-life

• Charge shrine arrow on your character points toward the nearest charge shrine and hides when you're already in range.

Steam

UberLoop is heading to Steam. The itch build stays the place to play and break things while development continues. I'll share the store page as soon as it's live.
