v0.22 is released!

Eggling

Two new companions have been added to the game! For more info, check out the previous devlog

Jubilee Bee

Rerolling companions + New unlock VFX

The next few updates will add several new skills and companions! With only 8-12 companions previously, it was manageable, but with more companions added to the pool, a re-roll function becomes necessary in order to pick a companion or ability you want.

The game will give you 5 rerolls and you get an additional reroll every time you defeat a World Sentinel. Rerolls can be increased through ascension (future system).

New unlock animations

With the introduction of new companions to hire beyond 500m, new animations and special effects will also be added!

I hope the next few updates will add more choices and upgrades for your progression!

Here's the roadmap for the next few updates:

• v0.23 -  Super & Mega Crits, Critical Overflow Skill + Kaboom Parrot companion
• v0.23 - Two new companions and skills: Enhancement Discounts & Earlier Enhancements
• v0.24 - Companion Synergy Skills
