Repentance Update 1.7.9 Changelog and G-G-G-Fuel!!!

by ty

G-G-G-G-G-FUEL! It's me, Tyrone; I've logged into the Steam backend to give you an update on, um, the 1.7.9 update. Welcome to the long-time-coming Repentance update! Below you'll find probably the single biggest update since its release! Highly recommend you scan through below to see what's been updated, changed and improved. Some highlights include: C Section fetuses now only deal 75% damage every 10 frames Lil Dumpy now has a secondary, larger detection radius that can cause it to randomly trigger from nearby enemy projectiles. Glowing Hourglass no cooldown, but can only be used three times per floor . Increased the cooldown of D10 to 2 (from 1). It now devolves enemies instead of replacing them randomly. Cain's Other Eye now follows Isaac and copies all tear modifiers/stats, but shoots in random directions and has -25% reduced damage. Bum Friend can now give batteries/items from the Beggar pool. My favorite--The Black Bean now causes multiple farts in quick succession and leaves po...
