[h1][b]Greetings, glitchers![/b][/h1]
Before I jump into what’s included in this update, I wanted to give a big thank you for playing Rogue Glitch. Your feedback and support has been exceptionally helpful in my journey in developing the game.
In celebration of the update’s release, [u][b]Rogue Glitch is 30% off for seven days[/b][/u] ending on Friday the 24th! With a revamped game experience, additional content, music, and improvements to early progression, now is a great time to welcome new players and/or to bring a friend with you into the fray.
[h3][b]Let’s take a look at what’s new in the Corrupt Content Update![/b][/h3]

New weapons include a beam-bending laser, poison cloud augments and carpet-bombing cluster grenades. You’ll be pitted against tough new enemies like the warping Monster Worms (inspired by nightmares) and a rare abominable glitch boss. Pick up a master key for access to any chest you’d like and keep a close eye out for some of the new secret rooms.

I’d like to introduce you to Bob, possibly the cutest of characters (Well, who can compare with Baby! Second cutest). He will generate an impenetrable shield while performing a downward stomp, adding defense to your offense!
A new option has been added to the game settings menu called [i][b]“Simple Enemy Colours”[/b][/i]. Turning this on will make all enemies the same colour to make identifying threats easier when things get a bit hectic.

[h2][b]Changes[/b][/h2]
The “completion” system has been reworked to bring tangible progression to new players at the beginning of the game. You will start with just one world and completing it will start to unfold the mysterious forces behind Rogue Glitch (#NoSpoilers). With each completion, a new world will be added to increase the challenge of getting to the end and advancing your adventure. This will continue increasing until your runs become five worlds long per completion.
[u][b]This shift in the world means savedata is being reset, however if you had previously unlocked items you will receive double XP![/b][/u]
In addition, I have made balancing tweaks to existing characters, items, enemies, and overall difficulty in some areas.
[h2][b]Music[/b][/h2]
Failpositive has brought even more upbeat electronic energy to the Corrupt Content Update with 7 new vibrant tracks, and many special rooms are now outfitted with ambience. All of these wonderful new tunes are now available to listen to on Bandcamp, SoundCloud, and YouTube! Here is one of them we’re featuring here:

[i]Psst, there’s also a new sweet-sounding secret character hiding behind the scenes… Look carefully you might find him![/i]
[b][h3]I hope you enjoy all the new content with your friends (from the safety of your home!)[/h3][/b]
Best,
Lino
