##### Quick content walkthrough:

THE BAT STUFF
- Defeat a total of 161616 bats, from any stage, to unlock the Pako Battiliar weapon
- Evolve Pako Battiliar using Max level Hollow Heart to unlock the Bat Robbert character

THE SPACE STUFF
- Collect 5 Gold Fingers to unlock Space 54 (enter and exit a run if you've already got enough)

- At minute 18 in Space 54, locate and collect the Brave Story relic.
- Survive 20 minutes in Space 54 to unlock the Space Dude character.

##### Cross-Save now in public-beta

Available on the Steam public-beta branch and on Android public beta! Please send us any feedback about the feature, it's very delicate since we're talking about save-data, so we'll take all the help we can get to make sure it's solid.
Please also let us know if there's any other service you could find useful. We've been investigating cross-platform-dlc (so buy in one place, play anywhere) but it's the biggest bureaucratic can of worms ever; so, not being a technical problem, I'm honestly not too hopeful we'll be able to get it done (if you follow gaming news then you probably know very well how protective certain platforms are of any paid content).

We have put together a FAQ here: https://poncle.games/account-help

##### Full spoilers:

**Stage: Space 54**
Plain bonus stage with plenty of items and odd enemies. Walls stop blocking movement at minute 11:00
Might be a bit strong visually, so if it's bothering you please make sure to see if checking the "Disable Moving Background" makes it better!

**Relic: Brave Story**
Allows to choose Random Level Up choices in Stage Selection. Currently selectable only before starting a run. This will let you try do to runs in which the RNG picks weapons for you when levelling up, good luck!

**Weapon: Phas3r & Photonstorm**
Can be picked up in Space 54, and unlocked for every other run by levelling it up to Level 7. For the base version, Area only affects size horizontally. The evolution fires at least x2 projectiles than the base version, occasionally x5 when dealing a critical hit.

**Weapon: Pako Battiliar & Mazo Familiar**
Can be unlocked anytime just by killing A LOT of bats, across any amount of runs. It fires additional times when the owner receives damage or loses a shield. The evolution fires more projectiles and deals bonus damage depending on the current Max Health bonus of the owner.

**NewCharacter: ****Space Dude**
Fast character that starts with Phas3r.
Has a special ability that fires all weapons regardless of their Cooldown every few seconds. The cooldown of this ability is affected by the Cooldown stat.

**NewCharacter: ****Bat Robbert**
Slightly tanky character that starts with Pako Battiliar.
Has a special ability: when falling below 20% health, he gains +16 MaxHP (max +400) and recovers 30% health. This ability recharges every time the character is fully healed.

##### What's next?

Well, I know the next 3 steps/updates we'll take on our Chaos Roadmap, but if I say anything I'm going to spoil the surprise effect (and probably find myself face to face with a hitman hired by the marketing team). A lot of players have been asking for more dark/serious settings, so I can at least tell you that 1 of those 3 steps has been cherry picked because it's probably the darkest one we have on the roadmap 👀
It won't be the next one, but should arrive soon enough!

We're also working on new Adventures for the main game of course, together with the "missing
