Was there any secret or "true" ending? After beating the two phases of the Judicator, the ending rolled and while it was decent, it just...sort of ended. I was surprised because there were a whole series of parts like conduits and whatnot that were mined I don't remember using. I also cleared through the entirety of the enemies and bosses in the arena, and didn't run into half of them in the main game that appeared. Not sure if there's anything else beyond the arena and the one ending. Loved my time with everything though!

I too expect more of the post game like that one glitched Pegasus in Sihd's Peak, and the empty room in the Tangledeep.

But for now there's only one bonus boss Bi Wi

The arena has a bunch of unique encounters intentionally; weird stuff that didn't necessarily fit elsewhere in the game. In the next patch (it's a big one) we are adding a New Game Plus mode which lets you keep your experience, stats, items, and gear, then starts the game from the beginning again. Naturally, in NG+, the level of difficulty is harder across the board (even in Adventure).

We're also working on a batch of super-high end gear accessible toward the end of the game that will give people more options to play with. And a bunch of other stuff.

One of the biggest features on the cutting room floor is a 'roguelike mode' which would set you back to level 1 with no gear/items/Frogs (you'd get your stuff back after). You'd venture through a randomly-generated adventure - just a series of rooms and maps with no story - with all gear, items, perks, powers, frogs (etc) being unlocked at random. Monster encounters would also be randomized and get harder and harder over time. Whether or not it would be endless is up in the air.

This is still something we'd *like* to do, but - unfortunately - sales of the game were below expectations so it's difficult to justify a new feature on that level. But... we'll see how holiday + Switch sales go!

Will look forward to that NG+ for sure.
Considering that your team announced working for Tangledeep 2 I honestly thought the game wouldn't get much additional content other than bug fixes but this will do. Thanks for the great game :)
