Updates — Corny Johnny

v0.1.1 Hotfix: Seeds of Doubt August 22, 2026

A small hotfix riding the 0.1.1 wagon, straight from a player report.

Fixes

Legendary GMO Seeds were all downside: the +1 projectile never grew with rarity, but the penalties did. Rarity now shrinks the penalties instead — a Legendary pays about −4% Base Damage and +5% Spread for its extra shot — so fancier seeds are finally worth the gold.

v0.1.1 You Talked, the Corn Listened August 21, 2026

The first post-launch patch, built from week-one player feedback.

New

You can now feel death coming: under 10% HP the sound muffles, the color drains, and your heartbeat becomes the soundtrack.
No more duplicate items — you own one copy of each, and the shop now deals higher-rarity Upgrade cards that improve your copy in place. Weapons still stack; dual-wielding six revolvers remains your god-given right.
The Sharpening Stone is now the Tombstone. Same stats, new engraving.
First enemy audio pass: the Root Warden found its voice.

Balance

Bosses now shrug off 15% of incoming damage and hit about 20% harder. They are bosses — act accordingly.
Stalker Celery ambush damage 40 → 30. Boom-ato blast 30 → 22, with the lingering burn roughly halved.
Combat Knife damage 5–7 (from 4–6). Corny Johnny’s trusty blade earns its keep.
Permanent upgrades are 25–40% cheaper across all tiers. Go build your farm.
Medic Drone heals every 6 seconds (was 4). It was carrying entire runs solo.
Rusty Pitchfork range penalty −15% → −10%; Thresher Blades −10% → −5%.

Fixes

The Root Warden no longer glues itself to melee players — walk through it, circle it, knife it. Standing inside a boss hurts now, though. Fair is fair.
The in-game codex was lying about nearly every enemy’s stats. All entries now tell the truth.

v0.1.0 Merdeka! Early Access Launch August 17, 2026

Corny Johnny rode onto Steam on Indonesian Independence Day.
