2.1.0

This release features a new Area, gameplay updates and welcome sign for Aeon, along with other new content!

South Island

A new gem has been unearthed in the distant Area known as South Island. They need help defending against an influx of Dipsy4000s.

Gameplay Changes

Characters have been training hard! The base acceleration for most Characters has been greatly increased, giving them much snappier movement options. Champ, Luck Monkey, Gloobin and Doragon received the most notable acceleration changes.

Guard Glide – Movement options while guarding have also been improved with the Guard Glide. Holding a directional key while a guard is active will reduce ground drag, allowing Characters to slide slightly further than normal. The direction moved while blocking a hit can also be influenced by directional keys during both Normal and Perfect Guard.

Aeon Sign

This sign welcomes all to Aeon, displaying current information on its built-in display. The display showcases new features, events, costume packs and will sometimes a show special screen that allows users to earn a rare item by clicking the sign screen. Vigilant users can use this feature to earn hard to find items!

Medals

Badge ranks have been refactored and are easier to understand. Different metals are now used to determine badge rank. The metal denotes the rank of the badge, with a total of 10 ranks.

2.0.0

General

This update features a brand new leveling system and lots of bug fixes. More content will continue to roll out in the following weeks.

Battle Level

Players now have a Battle Level, which helps give an idea of how many battles they’ve fought. The level is displayed on a Level Tag, which displays next to the player’s name. Players can raise their level by helping out during battle via damage or helpful actions. Level can be raised in both solo and team battles. Increasing your level doesn’t power your Character up in any way, so just focus on having fun in battle!

Any veteran players who login before August 31st will receive a one-time experience boost based on their total wins.

β 2.0

General

We’ve finally hit version 2.0! This initial release will focus on making sure the new updater and rendering engine work well, with content updates rolling out in the following weeks. The game client is now offered in a 64-bit flavor, so I’d recommend using the 64-bit installer if your computer supports it. Upcoming releases will feature a Telepathic Plant Salesman, access to a new Area, and more!
