Race Mode Update

I'm excited to announce that Chasm 1.080 has been released on Steam. This release started as just a quick update to fix Steam Deck compatibility, but eventually ended up with some new features including a brand new game mode!

The new mode is called Race, and similar to Arcade it features Daily and Weekly leaderboards to compete on. Also like Arcade mode, it uses a unique door randomizer system that builds the map as you play it. But that is where the similarities end! Race is a high intensity sprint through a segment of generated dungeon, focused on your speed navigating the rooms and avoiding danger.

The rules are simple: you start with all powerups and basic spells, but no melee weapons. You must get through a procedurally generated course as quickly as possible, avoiding the enemies and traps. If you have the fastest time, you take the top spot on the leaderboard for the day or week. Just like with Arcade mode, the Daily can only be run once, while the Weekly gives you unlimited tries to improve while keeping your best time.

I hope you enjoy, and thanks for your continued support!
