Events

Events are occasions which can be activated by using an item or happen at random. During these events special enemies will spawn and certain aspects of the game may change during the period of the event. At the moment only 3 exist.

Blood Moon


The Blood Moon is an event that has a 1 in 9 chance of happening every night as long as one player in the world has 120 health or more. A message saying: "The Blood Moon is rising..." is displayed when the event starts. During this event the spawn rate of enemies and the maximum amount of enemies that can be on the screen at any time increases as well.
