Million Depth version 2.0 update now available, adds ‘Dimension Over Mode’ and more

I’m so excited! Million Depth just got a huge update – version 2.0 is live! PLAYISM and Cyber Space Biotope added a new “Dimension Over Mode” which sounds seriously challenging, and they revamped the weapon crafting. Now you can add tiles to weapons to give them even more powerful stats. I can’t wait to dive back in and try it all out!

Here are the full patch notes:

New Features
- Dimension Over Mode
  - New mode: Dimension Over Mode.
    - This new mode is designed for those who’ve cleared the true ending of the game. Here, you will play through the α, β, and γ routes all at once, and your HP and battery carries over between timelines.
    - Spores are ever present here, and the true boss has new, more powerful attacks designed specially for this mode. If the game has felt a little too easy for you, do try out the new mode for a challenge!
    - Dimension Over Mode also supports speedrun records, which we’ll explain further down this post. Once you’ve beaten the true boss again, why not try to improve your playtime record?
  - New attack patterns for the true boss.
- Speedrunning
  - New features: speedrun timer display and record log.
    - We’ve added speedrun features such as a run timer and records by implementing advice from actual speedrunners of the game. Elite enemy spawn animations can now be skipped, and other skipping functions have been optimized as well. Million Depth was designed to be replayed over and over again even after completing the story, and we hope the addition of speedrunning features will add a new layer of challenge and enjoyment in the form of improving your times.
  - Elite enemy spawn animations are now skippable.
- Crafting
  - New feature: status up tiles.
    - One of the game’s weaknesses was how players would often fall to the same weapon designs every playthrough.
    - To address this, a new feature has been added: status up tiles. These will encourage players to tweak their designs every run to create differently shaped weapons depending on the placement of tiles, which is random every time.
    - This enhances the puzzle-like gameplay of weapon crafting, as well as making it easier for players to create harder-hitting weapons. You can now save your highest damage count for reference as you experiment. We’ve also received feedback that enemies in the latter half of the game feel too bulky.
    - We’ve made it easier to increase your attack power relatively to enemy toughness. If the original difficulty was already a cake walk for you, don’t worry; the new and more difficult Dimension Over Mode will give you the extra challenge you’ve been waiting for!
  - D-pad support added, smoother controls.
  - Highest damage is now always shown on the screen.
  - Blocks that deal the highest damage are now highlighted in a color that changes depending on attack power.
- Other
  - New title screen added, can be switched from original screen (post-true ending only).
