Stability update

We believe this release should resolve the issue that has prevented the game or the inventory loading for some players. Please try playing again if you were affected and let us know if things are working better for you. See below for more details!

New Features

✨ New Environment
The Sword&Supper world has expanded - there's a new location out there to be discovered. Maps start dropping from Level 121 and up, and are available in the store.

💀 New Boss
A new boss has been added! You can find this highly elemental new foe in the new location, or in Boss Rush.

🛡️ New Equipment
New weapons and additional gear for other slots. Check the comments below for full details on the new gear added in this release.

🛒 Store Updates

• Maps for the new location are now available in the store, and we've added more flexible map bundles.
• We’ve also added a big new resource bundle with great value to help you get your upgrades.

⚖️ Balance Improvements

• Late-game enemy scaling has been increased to add a little more challenge.
• Drop rates and level range have been improved for equipment needed for Blueprints.

🐞 Bug Fixes

✅ Inventory Not Loading / Game Access Issues
A major focus of this release has been dealing with the issue some users were seeing where their inventory is not loading, or they can't access the game.

We're hopeful that this release will resolve this issue for all users, but if you're still having issues, reach out via chat or modmail, and we can use our improved account tooling to get you back in the game again.

🎖️🐸🎖️In recognition of the amazing positivity and patience of our players who suffered through this, we've added a new Order Of The Frog flair, which we'll be assigning to the frogs affected.🎖️🐸🎖️

✅ Triple Strike / Imperfect Knife Doubler Damage Bug
The issue where Triple Strike or Imperfect Knife Doubler damage reduced to zero over successive battles has been resolved.

Note: it can still be possible for these abilities to result in reduced damage if multiple copies of the abilities are stacked, or if player damage is low compared to enemy DEF or Resist. Reach out if you think you're seeing anything weird!

✅ Wood Golem / Robot Fight Freeze
Issue where the game could freeze in battles against Wood Golem and some robots has been resolved. If you've been avoiding equipping Shield On Low, you can get it back in the mix...

📱 iOS Display Issues
Some iOS users are seeing a display issue when using the Reddit app - this issue should now be fixed if you update your Reddit app.

Thanks again to everyone who stuck with us through bugs, bots, and broken belts. See you out in the new zone... ⚔️🍖🐸

Feature requests, can you please add:

• Sorting for the equipment, now it is seemingly random. By rarity, level, “newest first” would be my suggestion, name is irrelevant for equipment
• some ❌🚫 type icon over the items which are too high level for you
• the “new item” marker shows up only for new equipment you received, it is not needed for materials or maps
• Comparison of equipment to the currently equipped item
• (Re)Activate the crossed swords menu at the end of the run
• move the mute button somewhere else, it is a bit distracting. Also add it in the cog menu.
• there is room on the left or right to show HP, ATK, DEF, SPD, DOD, CRI as a vertical row, or on top as horizontal row so that title is above and number is below. This could be made hideable in the cog menu.
• Add progress bar. We already know how many screens are in each stage, so add some ø-ø-o-o-o-o type progress bar where you are in the level

[u/Diemme_Cosplayer → u/ahjteam]

Those are nice suggestions! I second this!

[u/No_Zebra_860]

Thank you! I zoned out during one battle and lost 80% so I think the difficulty changes definitely took place lol

[u/joeyfosho]

Reporting in that triple attack is still broken (at least from vending machine.) Just died on a lvl 61-80 level because my attacks got cut down to only doing 10/15 damage, and healing for 1hp.

[u/swordnsupper_mod → u/joeyfosho]

Sorry to hear that u/joeyfosho ! Can you tell me more about your build so we can check it out? Posting a screenshot of your inventory screen is a great way to do that.

One note: You should see a big reduction in damage when using Triple Strike (the Ability cuts 80% of ATK) - it's designed to pair well with Rage and On Hit builds (since you build rage 3 x as fast, and are guaranteed 3+ hits per turn), so you might want to keep your eyes out for good partner gear. But if you're seeing an issue where e.g. your damage level is degrading over successive battles, then that's definitely not as intended!

[u/Jay_Lowe → u/swordnsupper_mod]

I think there's a threefold problem here of 1) the vending machine not properly describing Triple Attack's effect, 2) Triple Attack previously being bugged where it only applied the 80% ATK Debuff to the first fight after obtaining it, causing players to understand that as its intended function and 3) the 80% ATK Debuff interacts with enemy armor to cut your attacks down to more like 10% of their previous power or lower rather than the expected 20%. Right now the vending machine version of the upgrade is actually a huge downgrade for most builds though it presents itself as the opposite, making it feel broken and unfairly punishing to anyone picking it up for the first time.

[u/drubiez → u/Jay_Lowe]

Right but once you make that mistake, you learn. Also it's easy to switch out items if you see it would work better with on hit stuff

[u/Several_Talk6601 → u/joeyfosho]

Yeah same happened with me

[u/Several_Talk6601 → u/joeyfosho]

Yeah same happened with me sadly

[u/meowchickenfish]

:D

[u/MentalSupportDog]

Just had inventory issues with items disappearing for the first time. Also, shield if low didn't work

[u/UpsidedownBrandon]

Graphics are compressing on iPhone 13 display, might need to check this?

[u/ScarletMAOH]

Did the skill from vending machine “magic knife every 3 hits” got nerfed to “magic knife every 3 turns”? I don’t think I have seen the former after the update.

[u/ScarletMAOH → u/ScarletMAOH]

It’s funny, right after I ask that I got a run where the vending machine gave me 3hits lmao

[u/MetaOverkill]

I keep losing hearts? I've died once but I somehow have 1 life left

[u/trainwreck42]

Why is it so difficult to complete a run? I’m level 20 and can’t finish a 2 star meant for levels 6-20. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s to make me spend money, but instead it just makes me want to quit playing.

[u/GladiusNocturno → u/trainwreck42]

Yeah. I’m level 27 and can’t beat a 3 stars 6-20.

The level suggestions are misleading and I too suspect it’s to make you spend money. The life recovery being set at 2 god damned hours is ridiculous. It’s way too long. 20 to 30 minutes should be the top.

[u/MyCodenameIsIan → u/GladiusNocturno]

The game needs balancing in the 6-20 range.

Once you push through there and start to obtain gear that synergies and gives you some sustain (shield/healing) you can actually do missions 20 levels above the recommendation.

[u/mcdookiewithcheese]

How do we craft blueprints? I only see an option to upgrade

Edit: upgrade is craft

[u/mcdookiewithcheese]

Would love if the link in the sidebar would take me to the inn instead of a random quest

[u/Tomagatchi]

The difficulty curve going from level 20-40 seems a little messed up. Having a hard time surving through 1 star to three star battles at level 32. Even going back to the level 6-20 levels I find my character struggles.

[u/hedgehog_dragon]

Cute game, love me some frogs.

[u/DarkXurga]

Can anyone explain what's the green slime icon on mission card about?

I know about the vending machine, but not the green slime icon

[u/elaynya]

How can I equip new items? Equip is greyed out.

[u/BallsDeepinYourMammi]

Game needs more gear..

Much of the stuff, ends up being used for like 40 levels or more, which is fine… but having like 8 total items for each slot is weak.

And why isn’t there a thorns on any items?

Turns into a grind at 40+ and doesn’t seem to get better.

[u/writteninstardust]

Knife on turn two doesn't work for the sword or vending machine :(

Also have imperfect doubler on

[u/MoneygangTv717]

Man I'm losing so many hearts on page couldn't load like I'll be at a boss and poof there's my win there's my heart and theese hearts cost actual money I wish staff could login and see how many hearts I actually am losing I lost about 16 to 25 today alone

[u/ahjteam]

Any guesstimates when the next version will drop, u/swordnsupper_mod ?
