New SVG Web Release: Gelatinous Cube
The Gelatinous Cube is a truly horrifying creature:
A gelatinous cube looks like a transparent ooze of mindless, gelatinous matter in the shape of a cube. It slides through dungeon corridors, absorbing everything in its path, digesting everything organic and secreting non-digestible matter in its wake. Contact with its exterior can result in a paralyzing electric shock, after which the cube will proceed to slowly digest its stunned and helpless prey.
Fun times.
Highlights of this release:
- Loads of important bugs fixed
- Performance improvements
