Based on ideas by Silviu Offtopic (The Romanian OO translator), the Axolotl gadget is ready for her rampage!

Axe-o-lotl hops onto Dr. Odin, then swings her axe-shaped gills around, slashing the skeletons around you in four different directions!

Axe-o-lotl will finally provide a melee, AoE gadget option.

She can absolutely decimate hordes of skeletons, but this requires you to run head on into danger & dance around to aim each of her attacks!

• (Yes, I voiced Axolotl myself. No, the voice recording was not edited at all!)

• (Yes, Axe-o-lotl was meant to sound like Jack De Sena)

Axe-o-lotl is unlocked after Toxic Wasteland Level 2-11!

• Potion Factory can no longer deploy while you're already tossing a turret onto a tile it's able to occupy

• This also means Potion Factory wouldn't squash your turrets anymore, if you dropped a turret right under it as it deploys.

• Reworked how the "airborne" state is handled, so that airborne targets still cannot be targetted, but would remain vulnerable to certain projectiles

• e.g. if Lionfish's spikes hit a Diver Skeleton while it is jumping in mid-air, the Diver would no longer be immune to those projectiles

-------------------------------------------------------------------

• Added prevention for an exploit where through save editing, someone could cheat on the Speedrun Leaderboard by deleting all but a few turrets, allowing him to start a level with a less-than-full deck

• Reported[discord.com] by eagle

• Fixed a glitch where during boss fights, the Speedrun panel always displays "Wave 110, 10.45s before next wave"

• Remember how anti-snowballing could be prevented if the player is holding too many pearls? Fixed a glitch where the current pearl amount could be calculated erroneously

-------------------------------------------------------------------

• Added 3 new Achievements (for Axe-o-lotl)

• Upon return to the game, the map no longer shows a notification dot if you're already inside a biome that's newly unlocked

Special thanks to Alejandro Pulgar-Vidal for translating Operation Octo into Spanish (Latin America)!
Alejandro speedran the translations. He finished everything in like, idk, 3 days?

Like the based Romanian version, this is also a localization that takes a lot of creative liberty with the Turret / Skeleton stories, and has abundant lores of its own.

It's worth checking out even if you don't speak Spanish ;)

• Bolt Eel now has an illumination radius of 3.5

• Hollow Bolt Eel now has an illumination radius of 5

• Mutant Bolt Eel now has an illumination radius of 6.5

• Virty thought Eels could always produce light all along. This made me realize that Eels should produce light - They've literally gotten electrical light bulbs. Besides, Eels are weak enough as a turret.

• Disorientation immunity duration increased from 1.5 to 3 seconds after recovering from a Boomerang hit

• If Odin became disoriented again within 8 seconds (used to be 5 seconds) after disorientation recovery, receive a reduced disorientation duration

• After playing some hardcore challenges posted on Discord, I see why people hate Boomerang now. These changes are aimed at preventing rapid back-and-forth switches between normal and reversed controls, in case Captain Phantom managed to stun Odin amidst a storm of Boomrang projectiles.

• Fixed a glitch where the Speedrun Leaderboard fails to display more than 6 entries

• It ain't my fault - There weren't that many players during beta 😢

• Added a speedrun cheat prevention when a player could load into the reward screen and submit a score without going through a level

• eagle tried this on stream, but didn't succeed. Still, this was an exploit I hadn't thought of.

• Fixed a glitch where if you quitted the game during the Graveyard Tutorial without picking up the initial Skeleton Pods, the Skeleton Pods would turn into Turret Pods when you reboot the game

• Reported[discord.com] by Rinderpest

• Fixed a glitch where the Manual shows Watchdog's "dog form" as being "30 Cost"

• At one point during the game's development, Watchdog had costed 30 pearls. The old data got carried over in the previously-unused "dog form" data, which has now surfaced.

• Fix attempt for a glitch where Leviathan could be stuck in its idle animation, regardless of whether it is given battery

• Reported by TylazerMK

• Fixed a glitch where Hollow Snail and Hollow Bumperfish do not illuminate darkness inside the Graveyard before the simulation starts

• Fixed a glitch where the Dev Console option in the Gameplay settings does not display its tooltip

• Fixed a glitch where if the player has never swapped a gadget before, and started a level while ignoring the arrows pointing at the gadgets, the tutorial arrows would stick around for the entire level

-------------------------------------------------------------------

• The Demo version now has its own speedrun leaderboards

• Now don't you all go dominate the Demo's peaceful Sandy Shallows meta

• Non-Sandy-Shallows turrets, gadgets, and elixirs can no longer be selected inside the Demo version

• This is mainly to stop y'all from going into the Demo with your Hollow Death Rays and absolutely taking over all the leaderboards

• The challenge icon (dumbbell) no longer displays when only "Speedrun Mode" is enabled

• The dumbbell is meant in indicate the presence of invisible difficulty modifiers - The speedrun UI already makes it very clear that "Speedrun Mode" is turned on, so the dumbbell will now be reserved for other challenge options.

• Previously, Anti-Snowballing could not trigger if you are holding at least 120 pearls

• This has been changed to if you're holding (20 + the cost of the most expensive card in hand) pearls, capped at 120, but no less than 70

• Compilcated stuff that only advanced speedrunners might want to know - It's more practical to artificially prevent anti-snowballing now.

• Bubble Shields & Ice Shields no longer display damage flash and wobble when a Spiky Urchin's health is naturally deteriorating

• Added a loading wheel to the Speedrun Leaderboard

• Corrected some typos in the Gameplay settings
