- Patch Notes 0.5.2 - Star Path & Difficulty Adjustment - 10 February 2026

- Patch Notes 0.5.1 - Gameplay Calculation Adjustment - 5 February 2026
Hey everyone!We know the recent 0.5 update made the game harder than intended. It could feel too grindy, and player choices didn’t matter as much as they should. We’re very sorry about this. With this release, we’ve taken steps to fix these issues.One of the most noticeable problems was how Amount scaling worked during a run. Before 0.5, it was possible to build around increasing skill projectile Amount, but in 0.5 those builds were almost non-existent. This was caused by a design issue in how Amount cards were calculated to appear, giving them a significantly lower chance compared to other upgrade cards. This has been corrected in this release.Damage scaling had also drifted too far from the pre-0.5 balance. With this update, we’ve brought it closer to the original experience so that player power scales correctly with enemy strength, as originally intended. The damage scaling issue in…
