New Leaderboard: Achievement Score — your lifetime achievement points now rank you against the world (and your friends). Every unlock counts. Soul Rebirth — a new permanent Soul Forge upgrade that pulls you back from death once per run. Fell on Floor 70? Get back up. Supporter Packs — optional, cosmetic-only portrait & frame sets for anyone who wants to support a solo dev. No power, no pay-to-win — just flair on the leaderboards. (Most portraits & frames are still earned free through achievements!) Sharper look — redesigned stat icons with crisp pixel-art badges across battle, inventory, and the shrine. Achievement fixes — Pacifist, Ultimate Offering and a few others now unlock exactly when they should, and sacrifice tracking is accurate. Big localization pass — menus, Codex, quests, curses, achievements and more, now properly translated across English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Russian and Chinese. Plus smoother camp Armory item details and lots of small polish. Thanks for playing — and for all the feedback. Keep it coming! — Tim

Version 1.5.2 — The Alchemist & Camp NEW — ALCHEMIST CLASS A brand-new playable class. The Alchemist channels absorbed shop items into permanent power. Class skill EXPLOSIVE CONCOCTION consumes every active absorb buff to deal AoE damage that scales with the buff count. Passive CONCENTRATED ESSENCE amplifies absorbed stats by +30%. Exclusive ALEMBIC equipment slot. Full 28-skill skill tree plus 32 stat traits. Innate +10% bonus to all shrine sacrifices. NEW — THE CAMP The Shrine is fully redesigned as a diegetic camp scene. Six interactive stations replace the old tabbed UI — each is a place you can tap. NEW — SIX CAMP STATIONS SHRINE ALTAR — sacrifice items for permanent stats this run. PRAY STONE — pray for a divine blessing, now rendered as a slot-machine spin strip with sprite-icon outcomes. FORGE — pay gold to Enhance an item with a new affix, or Reforge to reroll every affix on it. ARMORY — inspect, equip, and swap gear between battles. MERCHANT TENT — visit the merchant, donate gold, unlock relationship bonuses. QUEST BOARD — take on Regular, Rare, and Legendary challenges. NEW — QUEST BOARD OVERHAUL Daily and weekly quests are gone. The new structure is Regular / Rare / Legendary tiers. 12 new Legendary quests added to the catalog. Rare tier has a manual REFRESH RARES button (gold cost) instead of a 7-day calendar. Completed quests now require a CLAIM tap — no more silent auto-grants. Regular and Rare rewards boosted ~3×, Legendary boosted 2×. NEW — PRAYER SLOT STRIP The Pray Stone replaces the old channeling bar with a slot-machine-style spin animation. Five tiered outcomes — Nothing, Minor Blessing, Blessing, Divine Favor, Miracle, and the brand-new ASCENSION — cycle past with their actual sprite icons, then land on your roll. Minor Blessing and Blessing tiers can now drop raw GOLD or XP instead of stat lines. NEW — ASCENSION TIER A new prayer outcome above Miracle. 1% chance to drop a guaranteed Set-rarity item — your fastest in-run path to a Set bonus. NEW — CAMP ARMORY The Armory station gives you the battle inventory outside of combat. Full equipment grid with portrait, HP/XP bars, and stat row; 28-slot bag with class slot and merchant artifact. Items merge with the same flying-sprite + rarity glow + impact-flash + pixel-burst landing the battle inventory uses. NEW — CAMP TUTORIAL New players are walked through every station in the camp via a guided spotlight + Continue tour. Existing players who already finished the tutorial skip the tour — their progress is respected. POLISHED - Every camp sheet now sizes to its content — no more empty bands below the prayer strip or the forge selection - Empower has a fully visual result phase with before/after stat comparison - Burn-bar timing on the EMPOWER button matches the SACRIFICE flow exactly - Slot strip lands on a single smooth bezier curve instead of ticking between speeds - Camp station labels show a notification dot when an action is unfinished at that station - Settings + Dev tools buttons added next to THE SHRINE header for parity with the battle pause menu - Continue button from the shrine pause menu now resumes back at the camp, not an empty battle - Quest reward boosts: Regular/Rare 3× gold + XP, Legendary 2×, quest XP now goes to player XP instead of merchant XP Thanks for camping out!

NEW — RUN-SHUFFLED BOSS ORDER Each Eternal Climb run shuffles the boss order. Floor 10 picks 1 of 10, floor 20 picks 1 of the remaining 9, and so on — no two runs share the same boss sequence. NEW — CODEX BESTIARY SECTION "Wardens of the Endless Cycle" — codex entries unlock as you encounter each boss.

Floor 10 boss balance & safety net The Gatekeeper has been retuned: lower HP, attack, and defense in both phases, plus fewer minions in phase two. New players should see a much smoother first encounter. Added Divine Mercy: a once-per-run revive at 50% HP if you fall to any boss. The Shrine watches over you on your first attempt. Entering a boss floor (10, 20, 30...) now fully restores your HP. Save your potions for what comes next. VFX animation & effects fixes Now all class specific skills have proper VFX effects and animations with particles. New meta upgrades Two new permanent upgrades in the Shrine: HP Potion Mastery and MP Potion Mastery. Each level boosts the healing and mana you get from potions for every character class. Class passives — Berserker & Necromancer Death Wish (Berserker) and Soul Harvest (Necromancer) passives now appear in the active-buff bar with proper class artwork. The stats bar now shows the green "up-arrow" when these passives push your attack higher, just like any other buff. Battle Cry now displays its real skill icon instead of a generic fallback. Fixed a bug where buff icons would revert to a generic icon after the first turn. Quality of life Snappier enemy targeting: switching targets is now near-instant instead of fading slowly. Quest progress bars no longer overflow past their container when you exceed the goal. Pixel typography is now used consistently for floor markers (F1, F2...) and skill cooldown counters. Shield visuals on the HP bar have been corrected. Massive localization pass The merchant Grimwald is now fully translated, including greetings, quotes, quest names and descriptions, mood-driven reactions to your purchases and rerolls, level-up celebrations, and artifact reveals — across Russian, Simplified Chinese, French, and Spanish. Battle-view merchant chat bubbles (about 95 short reaction lines) are now translated in all supported languages, with a Chinese-friendly pixel font. Achievement detail screen: "Points", "Unlocked", "Locked", and the unlock date now translate properly. Item merge screen: the "Upgrade to..." label is no longer stuck in English. Russian: the merge verb has been polished from "Слить" to the more natural "Объединить". A pile of smaller English-only strings throughout the UI now respect the player's language setting, including quest descriptions that previously didn't update when you switched language mid-game. Trial paywall flow For players still in the free trial, the run-pause-and-resume flow has been rewritten so your progress is never lost when the paywall appears at the end of floor 10.
