As for the actual Space-54 update, if you collect 5 Gold Fingers you unlock Space 54. Use the new Phas3r weapon and get it to Level 7 and evolve it using a Max Level Empty Tome. Survive for 18 minutes in Space 54 and you can find and collect the Brave Story Relic. Survive 20 minutes and you will unlock the Space Dude character.
New Stage: Space 54
Plain bonus stage with plenty of items and odd enemies. The walls stop blocking movement at 11 minutes.
New Relic: Brave Story
Allows to choose Random Level Up choices in Stage Selection. Currently selectable only before starting a run.
New Weapon: Phas3r & Photonstorm
Can be picked up in Space 54, and unlocked for every other run by leveling it up to Level 7. For the base version, Area only affects size horizontally. The evolution fires at least x2 projectiles than the base version, occasionally x5 when dealing a critical hit.
New Weapon: Pako Battiliar & Mazo Familiar
Can be unlocked anytime just by killing 161,616 of bats, across any amount of runs. It fires additional times when the owner receives damage or loses a shield. The evolution fires more projectiles and deals bonus damage depending on the current Max Health bonus of the owner.
New Character: Space Dude
Fast character that starts with Phas3r. Also has a special ability that fires all weapons regardless of their Cooldown every few seconds. The cooldown of this ability is affected by the Cooldown stat.
New Character: Bat Robbert
Slightly tanky character that starts with Pako Battiliar. Also has a special ability: when falling below 20% health, he gains +16 MaxHP (max +400) and recovers 30% health. This ability recharges every time the character is fully healed.
