The Shop Update (unofficial name) was a huge update released on November 18, adding a shop, currency, and more Cruciball levels.
Content Changes[]
Big Systemic Changes[]
- Coins can now be obtained in battles, and Peglin’s post-battle additions and upgrades now cost coins, enabling you to add and/or upgrade orbs multiple times after each battle! Only offered orbs that don't fit your build? Save that gold up for another battle or for Haglin’s Shop.
- Haglin has finally set up their shop! (Though you might still catch them for a free sample). Save up some coins for a wider selection of orbs and relics, and the ability to remove orbs!
- Map Generation is now guaranteed to at least have a few Chests, Elites, and Shops instead of being completely random.
- Orbs have been given rarities. This will help us roll out things that are a little bit more broken, and give us other ways to balance content other than tacking on downsides or reducing their strengths, which we know has been a source of frustration in the past!
- Class relics - This will be more exciting when we release classes in the next couple of months, but for now Peglin's Peglintuition starting relic will help reduce the inherent randomness of having access to all orbs & relics!
UI Improvements[]
- We’ve tweaked and improved the UI in a lot of different places! (If you check the credits you might notice a new addition under “Additional Art & Design”, and the UI work that she’s been doing has been amazing so far!)
- New tooltip art for orbs and relics
- Custom Start menu has had a big overhaul for feedback and readability
- Many text-only buttons have received additional visual feedback
- Roman Numeral level overlays have been stylized in inventory view
- Roman Numeral level overlays in-battle have been replaced with stylized frames
- Status Effect icons have been tweaked and made more readable (but we’ll be making further improvements here)
- Nicer Cruciball indicator pip
Changes[]
- [NEW] Event: Helpful Spirits!
- [NEW] (Custom-Only) Seraphic Shield: Immunity from (almost) all damage
- [NEW] End-of-run Unlock screen (more stats and visual improvements to come soon!)
- Refresh pegs can no longer be shielded, and when a shield moves onto a refresh peg it will break the existing shield
- Echorb Echo buffed to 30/60/100
- Necorbmancer now buffs pegs that it “revives” (+1/+2/+3)
- Sliming Crit(!) pegs now retains them as Crit until they’re popped
- Bullyball should now update its damage display when self-damaging from Rigged Bombs

Bugfixes[]
- Single path navigation no longer has broken slot highlight visuals

- The new (as of last update) moving bomb in the Shield/Archer/Cleric encounter will no longer disappear halfway across the screen
- Main Menu correctly drops all orbs again, not just Matryorbshkas
- Several fixes to the “Click to Aim” button’s functionality (still some visual issues to fix though)
- Refreshield now properly triggers the Cookie and Refresher Course
- (unverified) Brick Slimes should no longer get stuck in mid-air (but we’ve never been able to reproduce this one so we’re shooting in the dark a little bit)
