    Shop Rework Update

    · 12 changes
    • Air Acceleration has been increased to improve Wall Jump controls, but only while moving at lower speeds.
    • Wall Jump launch has different kick away speed from the wall based on whether you're pushing your movement direction toward, away, or neutral.
    • Fixed cases where it was impossible to Mantle Ledges to the left or right of your Wall Jump direction, just after a Wall Jump.
    • Fixed/improved control over air dashes just after a Wall Jump.
    • Wall Jump fatigue affects the vertical launch only, and recovers at 1.25s instead of 2s. This should encourage long lateral leaps, while keeping chimneying in check.

    • Wall detection for wall jumps now takes into account all walls in a small radius around the player, not just the last wall touched.
    • Changes to Wall Jump behavior have reduced the effectiveness of "Corner Boosting" a bit.
    • While Wall Sliding, terminal velocity is in effect (for vertical speeds only). At -600u/s gravity is cancelled out.
    • Mantle Glide: Holding Crouch or Crouch Toggle while exiting a Mantle creates a small speed boost, allowing you to slide out of mantles.
    • Increased Dash Slow cap from -40% to -50%.
    • Added new 'out of combat' run and sprint.
