~~THE NEW AND IMPROVED 8-BIT REALM~~

The Crackpot Mystic no longer sells you a digital key for 30 white pixels. Ghost meta is now kill. Skipping the 8-Bit Realm as a whole is also kill, as you now have to actually gasp interact with the intended game mechanics in order to obtain the digital key. Assuming perfect play, the digital key now takes a minimum of 25 adventures to get.

The old 8-Bit Realm has been removed and replaced with a container zone that contains four new snarfblats! These new zones are The Fungus Plains, Vanya's Castle, Megalo-City, and Hero's Field. These are based on certain video game franchises, as one may expect.

In addition to the above zones, there is also Treasure House that contains three chests that can be opened once you hit sufficient point thresholds. Opening a chest does not cost points. The chests contain the following:
    -Digital Key (10000 points)
    -Fat Loot Token (20000 points)
    -Pixel Rock [new familiar] (30000 points)

In addition to the addition of the above above zones and the above Treasure House, there are two new items that can be crafted at the Crackpot Mystic in exchange for 5 white pixels and 5 brown pixels:
    -Pixel Bread ~ size-3 crappy food, gives Desandwiched (+50% Meat Drops) for 5 adventures
    -Pixel Whiskey ~ size-3 crappy booze, gives Wall Rage (+50% Item Drops) for 5 adventures

Rather than hunting down pixels of various colors, you are now trying to gather as many points as you can in order to open the above chests. Defeating a monster in any of the new zones will give 50 points. As noted by noted softcore little man cannonfire40, wandering monsters and backed-up monsters in these zones will also provide points.

Bonuses are fun. Bonus points are very fun, but they require Gamer Skills™️ to maximize. The different zones in the 8-Bit Realm all give bonus points for maximizing different stats (Meat Drop, Init, DA, Item Drop). Please note that familiar bonuses are counted for these bonus points. Bonus.

Equipping the continuum transfunctioner now adds a SCORE to your character pane, since that's a thing you have to be aware of.  The color of your total points earned shows which of the four zones has their point gains doubled. A zone will have its points doubled for five completed combats in any of the 8-Bit Realm zones, at which point it will move to the next zone in a counterclockwise fashion. The colors are as follows:
    -Red ~ The Mushroom Plains
    -Black ~ Vanya's Castle
    -Blue ~ Megalo-City
    -Green ~ Hero's FIeld

The formulae for bonus point gains can be found in the below pin.
