Happy Rhythm Fest everyone! We're celebrating with a new update, discounts on Crypt of the NecroDancer and all DLC, and the Rift of the NecroDancer demo is back if you didn't get a chance to play it last time.



Now on to the patch notes!

New features

  • Deathless Mode now allows interrupting win streaks on the first floor to switch to a different mode or character
    
  • All Zones Mode runs now automatically submit to the corresponding Deathless Mode leaderboards upon completion
    
  • Each combination of character and game mode tracks its own win streak individually
    
  • Win streaks are preserved when quitting to the lobby on the run summary menu or the first floor after a win
    
  • Win streaks are lost when quitting to the lobby (after the first floor), quick restarting mid-game or losing a run

• Added an option to toggle DLC playtime being counted separately on supported platforms

• Changed Pawnbroker to present a unique scroll as a special offer to Miku
  
• Changed enemies disintegrated via teleportation to drop gold, increase multiplier and reduce cooldowns
  
  • This most commonly occurs when dashing into an enemy against an unbreakable wall as Miku
