Update v1.3

Hello! :)

I just pushed a new build of the game (v1.3) and decided it was time for my first devlog-post.

As a solo developer, I'm always craving for feedback, both good and bad! Let me know what you think! :)

Here's what new:

• hero can now rest between rooms, which grants them +3 health. Alternatively, they can choose to remove a card from their deck.
• removed the option to remove cards from the improve-deck screen.
• added exploding barrels that explode (who would have thought) when attacked, and deal damage to surrounding units
  
• removed the wooden shield from the starting deck and reduced enemy attack powers by 2. The hero now has 0 armor by default. This change simplifies the game, especially for beginners.
• reworked hero gear cards:
  • Forged by Flames can be upgraded, but was nerfed so it can only upgrade cards to its own upgrade level plus 1.
  • Spiked Armor has Slow Equip
  • Reactive Armor reads: "Sticky while weapon stack is larger than armor stack"
  • small attack value changes for various weapons
• gave attack boosts to later enemies
• rebalanced the floor spawns, so earlier floors are a bit easier, later ones harder
• embark-screen at the beginning of the run shows starting hero and deck. Also teases the potential for other heroes. :)
• lots of visual improvements that hopefully make the game better to understand and clearer.

Plans for the future:

• music!
• more sound effects
• additional heros
• additional game mode that places more emphazis on the puzzle aspect of the game, and serves as a tutorial
• meta progression
• more board variety
• more enemies
• bosses!
• different dungeons

Phew! Now that I wrote that... that's a lot! :D

Ok, bye! (ʘ‿ʘ)╯
