Update 0.71.4

New Abilities:

• Dashing:
  
• Sap of Weakness: The fluid derived from a rare plant can be used to lower the defence of your opponents.

Mechanics:

• New Status effect.
• Chests can be carried to block projectiles.
• Lucky dip for unlockables: Optionally spend tokens on a random item at a lower cost.
• Temporal field: now properly slows down special level threats such as pursuing pollen. You can also expand it by holding down the control.
• ...

Rebalancing work:

• Bronze Knight's arena now has semi-destructable floors; with a couple of alternative ways to fight em'.
• Rush level themes (lava, poison etc.) have longer levels.
• Flooded corridors are longer.
• Traps take longer to reset (spears, dart traps etc.; following feedback from PAX players)
• Nerfed giant bat (following feedback from PAX).
• Cost of unlockables has increased as has the max level.
• Several parts of the 2nd tutorial, were remade to be much more forgiving and instructive (following feedback from PAX players)

Optimization:

• New algorithm for tile-render allows caching of the entire map's terrain rather than one chunk at a time.
• Rewrote multiple collision and physics routines to use less processing power.
• Fixed several issues with flickering framerate with vsync on older systems.

Controls:

• Weapon wheel and grid inventory controls have been rewritten slightly to be more intuitive. e.g. you can override which slot certain items go to with just the right/left triggers. You can also instantly consume potions/execute most powers with a single button instead of having to equip them.
• Multi-jump ability can still be used even if it's not in the hotbar.

Graphics/Menu:

• New Weapon wheel graphics
• Some minor bug fixes with humanoid arms.
• Particle and HUD elements for new abilities.
