Thanks to 夙无囿 for pointing out in their review that the game can freeze if you refresh the shop often enough. Previous playtesters had apparently not amassed enough wealth to trigger this condition or simply had found what they were looking for earlier. Either way, this bug has now been fixed, allowing you to refresh the shop as many times as you'd like! And in order to keep all this refreshing wo...

I found that it was possible to soft-lock yourself if you had a fully maxed out inventory and then went to the tile upgrade section in the rest area. So I added a cancel button to that, so you can easily back out of it. Plus I figured it's nice to be able to choose something else if you made a mistake. I've also seen pretty much everyone just completely destroy the final boss because by the time t...

Similar to the bug mentioned in the patch I released yesterday, it was still possible to soft-lock yourself in a position where no more moves are possible, but the game doesn't register it. This time in the first two levels of the tutorial. Mainly the second level. Luckily this was an easy fix and now you can safely run out of moves again, even in the tutorial!

I knew I had to have missed some bugs, but you move at a record setting pace! It turns out if you had any of the 3 artifacts that upgrade your tiles at the start of your turn and then managed to run out of moves to play, the game would soft lock. This has now been resolved. Thanks for being so quick to notify me of the issue!

After seeing multiple playtesters miss things in the tutorial or just flat out get discouraged by the text block they had to read, I knew I needed to improve this part of the game. So with this update I've added indicators to highlight which elements require your attention, as well as improved the pacing massively. You now see each message one by one, instead of as part of a big text block, which ...

Some players rightfully pointed out that the main menu was quite bland compared to the scene where you choose your character. And when watching people play the game for the first time, I noticed that the loadout screen gives a bad first impression because it's not immediately clear what goes where. While working to improve both of these aspects, I also added some nice transitions between each scre...

I realized some players were getting stuck early on in the demo because the fights felt too difficult or because they put themselves in a sticky situation by picking a 3rd tile type right away. So I've tweaked the difficulty a bit, so it's easier to start out and made sure players don't have the option to pick new tiles for their inventory until they are a few fights in.BalancingLowered the diffic...
