New in Space Gladiators - Escaping Tartarus Demo 0.2.2 (May 24, 2019)

  • Apart from a couple balance changes, today's update is mostly focused on quality of life additions.
  • I have noticed that a lot of players did not know what the colors of the items were for. The game didn't make it clear enough and this update will hopefully fix that.
  • Colors are here to introduce a little strategical dimension to the game and to allow the player to customize his build.
  • Red abilities scale with your "Damage" stat.
  • Blue abilities scale with your "Energy Damage" stat.
  • Green abilities scale with your "Health Points" stat.
  • Yellow abilities scale with your "Armor" stat.
  • This means that some abilities are more or less efficient with your character depending on his stats.
  • You could choose to focus on increasing your Damage and using a Bow, or to play Patato and focus on maximizing your health points and throw meatballs around.
  • Passive items are also color coded to indicate which stat they affect. I have added the purple color for those that modify multiple stats, I'm hoping it won't be too confusing for new players.
  • Changelog:
  • Lowered the chance of finding easy rooms after having cleared arenas.
  • The Piggy Bank item now gives out 3 coins everytime you clear a room (against 1 before).
  • Modified the design of items info boxes to emphasize their color.
  • Added a new settings option to mute audio when not focusing on the game window.
  • Added the purple color for items that modify multiple stats (instead of being white).
  • Added a tutorial prompt to show how to reroll the shops items.
  • Items that are part of shops and altars can no longer be moved by being hit.
  • A glitch where the dialog box appeared right at the start of the game should be fixed.
  • Some tweaks have been made to the tutorial to make it more intuitive.
  • Removed the “Give feedback” option and changed “Follow us” to redirect to our Twitter account.
  • Reworked items descriptions to be more clear.
  • Changed the image corresponding to “Select” for gamepads.
  • The interface presenting the opponents you can choose for arena fights has been tweaked a little bit.
  • Death screen now gives out tips.
  • Added Stats information for Health Points and Armor.

New in Space Gladiators - Escaping Tartarus Demo 0.1.3 (Apr 30, 2019)

  • Today's update is all about adding a new type of room you might come across from now on: the Challenge Room!
  • This room will be hidden behind a dedicated signpost and introduces a new enemy: the Genetic Container.
  • This container spawns other enemies at regular intervals of times until destroyed. A specific container can only spawn one kind of enemy, which is being assigned randomly at its creation.
  • Three of them are created at random positions (chosen among a few predefined spots) when you begin the challenge. If you manage to destroy all of them and their offsprings, you will be rewarded with a high-tier item and a lot of coins.
  • Some other minor changes were also made:
  • Big Brains's meatballs now disappear when he dies.
  • There is now an indication in the inventory window to show the player he can cycle through his stats and his passive items to display their description.
