Welcome back to TIME COWBOY!

A decent amount has been updated and fixed, or practically redone.

Era 3 Level 1 Sneak Peek

In case you haven't heard, around a couple weeks ago development on Era 3 began.

And so far progress has been going well and I wanted to give a little taste of how this Era will play and look.

You can access the Level after completing Era 2's Final Boss, once you complete it let me know what you think of it in the Discord Server!

Torch Redesign

The Torch has received some much deserved love.

The mediocre melee weapon now turned crowd control melee, lets you attack with Fire Spread and a Higher Damage Output!

Setting an Enemy on fire will spread nearby Enemies on fire, which can set other Enemies nearby on fire, which can even set other Enemies nearby on fire, which can- I think you get the point, hit enemy -> fire spread to others

New Achievements

TIME COWBOY is pretty conservative with it's achievements and I'd like to keep it that way.

Adding more would just devalue the other achievements, especially if they reward you for something basic as just "Kill 2 Enemies with the Revolver".

But in this case, these new achievements reward the player for going above and beyond, when they didn't really need to.

I apologize for the completionists playing now having even more Achievements to... achieve.

Tweaked Levels

While Era 2 was well received, there have been complaints about navigation in this era being harder and at times, completely frustrating.

Which I'd like to apologize for. To make up for it, Levels have now been tweaked to navigate the Player around easily and/or make some sections more easier than others.

Howsabout this, if I make a level that frustrates you, go on Bluesky and @ me with a clip/screen of what you think is unfair or I guess you could suffer in silence, both of which are perfectly reasonable.
