Vengeance Hunters – Ver. ???

Release date: TBA
Patch notes:

All platforms

Allowed each player to have their own set of continues in two player mode

Dev Note: Yes, you CAN cheese the game with extra continues now

Stage 2 boss has slightly less HP & only attacks twice with his poison claw instead of three times

Dev Note: Some players (T) have not figured out that you can jump + strong attack the claws when they are in the air, so we’re making this boss a bit less frustrating for them.

Smoothed out a few Waves/Groups to ensure they do not go on for to long

Slightly nerfed the Stage 4 ‘Miner’ enemy

Dev note: This guy and his robot vacuum of doom was a bit to frustrating. So we toned him and his little vacuum down

Stage 5 boss missiles now do only 40 damage on hit (was 80)

Dev note: there were some instances where you could get deleted when hit by the missile and other attacks

Various other minor enemy tweaks including jump speed, arc and distance of some enemies

Stretched option added to Options/Display

Dev Note: We added this only for people using 4:3 displays. If you stretch the game on your 16:9 display, we will be extremely upset with you

Character Select music now properly loops

On Continue, you will no longer go back to the default color palette

Dev Note: We need to make sure you can remain style’n with that purple Candy alt outfit. PS, you can change to an alt color palette by pressing Jump after selecting your character

A hit animations is now played even if the hit does not cause a stun

Dev note: This should help provide even more feedback to the player when they take a hit. You will still only see the hit marker if you’re in the middle of a swing

Candy’s Bleed should no longer push an enemy the wrong way on death

Golem can now grab/throw regular enemies that use a yellow armored move

Golem now has invulnerability frames during his Ground Pile driver

Dev note: The move does a lot of damage and AoE, but it was just a bit to risky in a crowd

Golem/Candy/Loony – You can now press left or right while in the middle of a combo string rather than needing to wait a split second to change directions. This includes aerial combos.

Dev note: This should help make the game feel more fluid when punching for some players

Golem/Candy/Loony – The Back Attack was change from <-Light attack to Light Attack + Strong Attack. It animation locks you, but it will knock enemies down and break yellow armor (but only does 2 damage).

Dev note: This change was needed to make the left/right change work. And it just feels better and I should have done it in the first place.

Nintendo Switch

Fixed an issue where some sound effects would only play through the left channel.

Additional notes: none
