Athena is one of the "secret" characters that will finally be available in the 1.0 update/steam launch, her moveset is a little different from the first time I showed her :)

story mode is separated into 42 chapters, but you don't have to read them all in order, most of the time, you'll have multiple chapters to choose from, based on what you've read so far :)

Heatwave's last major update, will be available on NOVEMBER 12!!! It will also be releasing on steam then as well. Most notably, it will contain a ~100k word visual novel story mode, and 4 new "secret" characters, along with balance changes, and bug fixes. โค๏ธ

No, it's just a normal update for everyone who already has it on itch :)

btw, the minimum price on itch will be increasing when the update is released, from 5$ to 10$, to reflect everything I've added over the years since the first early access release (12 more characters, arcade mode, survival mode, combo trials, story mode, etc...)

Here's some gameplay of one of the new secret characters, Athena! She has good long range options with her 214x and 22x, and a strong pressure option with her 236B/C, which sets a spellcard on the ground that activates an attack when the opponent touches it :)
