- Rockin Along - 0.3.6 - Steam Next Fest Update - 4 June 2026
Ahoy,Comin at ya with another brand-new demo update! This one just in time for Steam Next Fest.It brings some new enemies, updated mechanics, re balanced events, some new relics & cards, and most importantly of all, ROCKS.And I don't mean this update rocks (although it DOES), but we have added actual rocks to the game. These rocks act as obstacles on the map, blocking enemies and allies alike, and are randomly placed at the start of battle to help each combat feel unique.Updates:We've got SMALL rocks, we've got BIG rocks, we've got rocks that go BOOM - you name it, we rock itAnd here's how they look in actionThrilling, I know, I know.... but enemies enjoy the rocks! If you're not careful, some enemies could abuse this new mechanic for their own nefarious purposes...We've also updated some cards that were falling behind the power curve, and reworked numerous relics! I don't have the full…
