We have some bonuses for you during the festivities:
- You will have an extra 12% XP in each run through the rogue-lite (until the end of February)

With some decorations drawing inspiration from Chinese New Year culture.
Level generation improvements:

A.I. improvements include:
- Humanoids navigate the terrain better on windy levels.

- Fixed a rare memory leak regarding accelerator platforms in the ice world.

New Opponents
Snow Hare
It may look cute and coy, but they are quite territorial and aggressive (with half their world destroyed or warped since by the cataclysm. who can blame them)? Unlike most enemies, they'll try to remain burrowed undercover, keeping their distance to strike at range.
Ice Mage
Even though they've been asleep long in cryrgenic suspension, it won't take much to awaken these undead liches. They will zealously defend the remains of their frozen fortification. They employ phasing and an array of guided ranged magic to strike down intruders from all sides.
New Level Themes
Shifting Winds
It applies to the Gardens to...
Avalanche
Other Changes
You can now hide in deep snow
Accelerator Platforms
These replace rail-bound platforms in Cold Crust Caverns.
World Tracing System
The game now keeps track of seeds and other key values (e.g. biome, level themes) of previously generated levels; in the <steamapps common="" auraofworlds="">data/PastWorldCache folder. Allowing us to reconstruct past procedural levels with a high level of accuracy.</steamapps>
This will allow us to hunt down any edge case anomalies with greater accuracy instead of simply relying on the log file.
Bug Fixes/Balance Changes
- Offscreen chandelier traps are better telegraphed.
- Fixed bug where Enduring and Resourceful achievements would not trigger unless 4 worlds were completed during a run (instead of 3)
- Improved Telegraphing of ranged cryogenic spikes from this guy:
- Fixed bug with warning flavour text for level themes sometimes being hidden.
- Fixed glitch where the unlock menu would not draw the number of tokens properly.
- Fixed glitch where grenades didn't flash when the fuse was about to blow
- Button mashing leads to breaking out of ice faster
A note regarding price
We've heavily discounted the game discounted during early access.
The game has been extended and polished with community feedback to become quite a different experience since mid-2018.
As such, the game may increase in price later this year to help us to continue to add extra content to the game for you as we approach full release.
