Modifications

  • Simple DebugInfo - Adds a debug GUI, HP bar for bosses, quick restart, camera zoom, and more.
  • Debug Console Enabler - Enables the game's debug console, allowing access to a wide variety of features such as viewing scenes from the game, a level select, invincibility and more.
  • SmoothParry (Steam only) - Removes the time-freeze that normally happens when you parry an object or enemy. This small change makes the game feel much smoother, especially in co-op.
