Endless Update (0.3)

Updates

New

Endless mode: continue your runs indefinitely with an updated set of rules!
Sigourney's Codex: new menu accessible from once you've rescued her. Currently, it only shows very few and simple stats - more will come later on!

Endless Mode

Unlocked through a new Permanent Upgrade at Eperin
When finishing a run, you'll then have the option to launch a new harder loop
This mode comes with new rules, so you can break the game:
- You have a lot more Gift slots
- Stat limits are greatly increased (mainly, Trinkets max refill speed and Weapons max attack speed)
- Weapons and Trinkets can scale infinitely
Each loop is harder, with more enemies and stronger scaling. Starting loop 6, enemies also have increased speed and an increasing resistance to crow control effects.
Try to reach the highest loop possible! A reward might appear somewhere, but who knows...
This mode comes with a new achievement: "Complete an Endless loop"
