Shattered Pixel Dungeon’s next major update will be going to beta early this coming week.

Here’s one more new thing coming in v2.5: new cursed wand effects! I’m adding 16 new effects, ranging from simple bubbles to a rare but extreme supernova explosion! The bubbles are harmless but you really, really want to avoid the explosion.

    It is an explosion effect at each tile. Having it attract enemies would make it a little too clearly positive I think, as you’d be basically getting a guaranteed kill on everything within 20 or so tiles of the explosion center.
