A smaller update to primarily address issues players were having getting a couple of achievements in the original 1.0 version: One for 20,000 kills, and the other for reaching level 250.

While this was possible with the previous build of the game, it was probably out of reach for most regular players. Therefore, some balance tweaks have been implemented. This is still not an "easy" achievement, but it should be more doable now.

Note: If you are going for either of these achievements, it should be done on Cursed difficulty.

• New enemy added to Cursed difficultly
  
• Cursed difficultly waves and amount rebalanced
  
• Various minor bug fixes
