This new update will focus on performance and a new arena! I have changed some settings and optimized a lot of the game so hopefully it will not hog 90% GPU anymore :)

This new Arena is smaller than the previous ones and it has less enemies, but they are stronger and deal WAY more damage.

There is now an option to reroll basic attack to any other passive or spell. This is quite fun to play around with I think.

• Life regen and Life siphon has gotten a heavy nerf. I saw that it was quite easy to get a lot of regen and it was not hard to obtain AFK builds. With this change it will be a bit harder :)
  
• Earth boulder nerfed a lot and other underperforming spells got some buffs.

As always a lot of tiny bugs and QOL stuff has been fixed as well so the game will be a better experience now :)

This new update contains 10 new spells, Endless checkbox for all levels and difficulties, Artifact drops and unlearn spell drops, and much more!

• Added 6 new actives and 4 new passives
  
• balanced and optimized many other spells and level 10 upgrades
  
• Leveling a spell from 9-10 now has custom text that explains the level 10 upgrade.

• Added an enemy strenght slider. You can now make game harder or easier!
  
• Added endless toggle option. can be used for all modes!

• Added artifact drop which gives a strong buff but with a drawback!
  
• Added reroll drop that lets you unlearn a spell and choose a new one!

• Black goo now reduce all healing by 80% instead of 100%.
  
• Meta Enhancement upgrades now go to level 7 instead of 5.

There is a big chance I have missed some changes since I do a lot of stuff and sometimes forget but lets just call those "hidden changes" :D

Fixed some minor bugs with UI
Fixed Fields Master Speedrunner achievement was not possible to obtain.
Added text that shows limit to stats.

The Fields is the a new Arena and the focus of this update!
The Fields has a different gamemode. Similar to other Survivors-like. constantly oncoming enemies, enemies drop Coins that need to be picked up and so on. Hope you enjoy!

• Added new arena and new gamemode
  
• Buffed all bosses to be a bit stronger
  
• Added new boss to new Arena
  
• Rebalanced enemy health. A bit less health torwards the later rounds now.

• Frost Orbit - Buffed Damage
  
• Wind Vacuum - nerfed Cooldown
  
• Heat Beams - Buffed Damage and Optimized
  
• Skills that have been mastered (level 10) now have a permanent visual indication.

• A fourth difficulty has been discovered! Enemies are harder than ever and there is no end in sight.

• Fixed spell meta upgrades acting weird and resetting on restarts.
  
• Some spells have better logic with illusions.
  
• Knockback and knockup now works properly. Sometimes didn't apply correctly
  
• And many other various minor QOL stuff.

There is a big chance I have missed some changes since I do a lot of stuff and sometimes forget but lets just call those "hidden changes" :D

Thank you all so much for participating. In total I got 77 responses in about 24 hours which is amazing!

So here are the results of the survey. I decided to add all your points together in a pool and order the priorities from that.

1. Spells and passives, 630 points
   
2. Bosses, 588 points
   
3. Arenas / Levels, 562 points
   
4. new playable characters, 555 points
   
5. Gamemodes. 534 points
   
6. Performance optimizations, 491 points
   
7. Enemy types, 481 points
   
8. Challenges and achievements, 414 points
   
9. Cosmetics, 278 points

So lets break this down:
It seems in general almost all of these features is something we want to add to the game. I also think a lot of these features go hand in hand with eachother and believe that they make each other better together. Cosmetics is the only thing that was a bit controversial, some really want and some really dont care.

So I have decided to pretty much focus on all of these things. The next update will feature a new game-mode, a new arena, a new boss type, and many small bug fixes and balance changes. I will see if I can also smack in some new spells but I might want to save that for a future spell and passive update where I dump a ton of new spells.

Heres a sneak peak of the new Arena:
I also added all of your final comments to my Trello board so I won't forget them. There were some great ideas and other fixes in there so I will for sure address as many of them as possible!

Also, if you enjoy the game and want to help me out, write a review on steam. It helps a ton with steam algorithm :D

Anyways. I am so happy about all of these responses and I try to listen to all of you! Together we can make a really good game!

Hello! I have created a survey that should be super quick to fill out. Its a list of different features and you can rate them 0-10 on how much you would like me to prioritize them.
