“Regarding The Maniac” - I did not see any upgrades in the pool related to the rotating cat, and for the ricochet that the other character (I think it was The Wall? Just woke up, very groggy) has also seems to lack any upgrades in the pool. It’s also very possible that it’s just RNG not being nice to me, as usual. (You claimed “upgrade path that can appear” which implies it may not be guaranteed to appear; but that might just be me overthinking again lol)

For the sake of clarity because I overthink things too often… The first line of my previous comment “Welp, it’s something, I guess.” was me lamenting the fact that I only have a total of 5 runs in the update. I didn’t want you to think that I was somehow belittling the update or anything like that. xD

Anyway, just did another run and died pretty quickly because groggy lol. I was looking for the rotary cat upgrades…

Hi again!

No worries, I didn't take your original comment negatively at all. 😄

Detailed feedback like this is exactly what helps during alpha development, so I appreciate you taking the time to keep testing new builds and sharing your thoughts.

Regarding The Maniac and The Wall, their character-specific progression is something I'm actively reviewing as part of the next update. The goal is for each character to lean more heavily into their own strengths and playstyle rather than relying entirely on the shared upgrade pool.

For The Maniac specifically, the rotating cat is intended to become a more important part of her identity, and I'm currently evaluating how those character-specific upgrade opportunities should appear during runs. The same applies to The Wall's ricochet-focused gameplay.

At the moment, all characters still share most of the same upgrade pool, but as development continues, you'll likely start seeing more upgrades that are tailored to individual characters alongside the shared upgrades available to everyone.

And don't worry, I understood what you meant by "Welp, it's something, I guess." 😄 Written comments don't always carry tone perfectly, and I didn't read it as criticism of the update itself.

Thanks again for continuing to play, test, and provide feedback. Having someone compare builds and point out things that stand out is incredibly valuable while the game is still evolving.

See you in The Pit 🤘
