- Wave Modifier rework. Not started yet, but replacing the prev negative modifier system with a more thematic system.

Think like "oh it's windy in the grove now so you/enemies might get pushed around", rather than "here's a negative thing for you).

Planning stage rn, but should be cool.

This is "part 1" of my code overhaul project to clean up the underlying code, and make it a lot easier to develop.

Chances are that you'll notice less lag in certain areas I've been working on!

The next game update should be out this week (1.1.2) containing an overhaul to the settings menu, including a visual redesign and brand new settings!

More on that later in the week :D

You'll also come across some graphical improvements, such as a new potion throwing animation and enemy death dissolve!

(rest in peace little Mosscrab)

Old enemies have new sprites, as part of an ongoing effort to improve the visuals of the game.

Take a look! We have a cute variant on Barcs and our shielded enemy is now called Mosscrab!

This lil guy blocks all Status Effects until his shield is broken.

Status Effects have been a target of this update - with a full rework and some improvements.

You can now have multiple bleeds of the same time (from different source) and new effect types are added, such as Stacks!

You'll also see some new icons for every effect in the game.

Of course, this wouldn't be Catamyst without some new Catalysts. We've got 5 new Catalysts to show you!

I seem to have lost one though... I guess it slipped out my hand.

Also, catalysts now have access to all potential rarities, and gives each catalyst the same chance to show up in your runs.

Next is the Overloading Potion!

Overloading Potion gives a delayed hit that will deal massive damage. This delay can help you stack up a ton of damage at once or perhaps you want the initial weaker hit to take out a shield for you.

First up - Potions!
We have two new potions that utilise new Status Effects.

Corruption Flask focuses on Stacks that can continually debuff your enemy over time - don't worry, this effect doesn't disappear until the enemy is defeated.
