Ananias 1.79 released!

Published by

on

Worked heavily on the game on December. The biggest changes on this version are:

  • Character Creation: You can now customize your character’s appearance and tweak its starting stats.

179-1

  • Hardcore Mode: Is the game too easy for you? this mode bring stronger enemies which will storm you to death! A separate graveyard is available for it.
  • Rune Portals: I have wanted to remove stairs for a long time since they didn’t really fit in the theme (why can’t I go back?) Now you’ll have to explore the level to find the runes and activate the portal to go into the next level.

179-2
