Hell never looked this good! Save your soul in a wild cocktail of rhythm-based dungeon crawling and date sims, and dance your way through 9 circles of Hell to heart-pumping music. Which lady of the Fleapit will be the one to join you on your trip out of Purgatory?

As always, we prepared a few topics from our [b]Development HQ [/b]that we can share and we hope you’ll enjoy what we have in store. So without further ado, let’s start with a deep dive into… [h3]THE BOTTOMLESS PITS[/h3] Every game worth its salt must have bottomless pits… or at least that’s the case for the Fleapit. A lot of players were wondering if they could fall into the pits found everywhere across the dungeon crawling section and were (apparently) disappointed when that wasn’t the case. Well, congrats y'all, because we’re granting your wish to yeet yourselves into the void. Better watch your steps now cuz one wrong jump could become your doom (or take 1HP away from you, to be precise) [img]https://i.imgur.com/cbhUJyu.gif[/img] [i]This is yet to be implemented in the actual build, so please enjoy this new enemy pattern with a placeholder sprite and a sneaky mini-map on the right[/i] [h3]HERE COME THE NEW CHALLENGERS[/h3] Speaking of more enemies: The Circles of Hell are chock full of all manner of dangerous creatures, and we captured got a few of those we can show off today! Introducing the new demons straight from the deeper layers of Limbo: Bookworm, Coffee Maniac, and Archigoat! Feel free to speculate what their attack patterns are gonna be like, and what other demons might lurk deep within the Bureaucratic Inferno.

We recently finished outlining some of the new perks and skills that you’ll encounter later in the game, and we can even tease what a couple of them will do: [b]Card Shark:[/b] Get one extra perk to choose from a chest [b]Barmaid’s Special: [/b]If Andy has all three types of HP, deal 150% more damage [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41646241/ffc11e954076bdce23c7823d459e2774a167c5e3.png[/img] We’ll be showcasing more of these in future devlogs, so stay stoked, and stay tuned for that!! Until then, feel free to throw your suggestions our way and maybe they might make it into the game . . . [h3]FLEAPIT’S DEMO IS… IN ENGLISH??[/h3] We’ve been talking about the Japanese VO for Fleapit so much, but we’ve been working hard on getting the full English VO for that demo in the background. Expect the Actual Announcement some time soon, but for now we can give you just a tiny teaser! [previewyoutube=D5wJMmCsDjw;full][/previewyoutube] [h3]FLEAPIT’S QUICK TRIVIA BIT: THALES[/h3] [i]A literal encyclopedia about the whole of Inferno found in the depths of Limbo. Despite his status as a literal bastion of knowledge, this scholar's main personality points fall somewhere between: extremely arrogant or extremely horny. …Maybe that talking tie wasn’t so bad after all?[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41646241/e4805c002a4d22367d6586c6b809858087827095.png[/img] That’s all the updates we have for today!
