An unusually EXPLOSIVE update! With some cool new explosion effects from Talon. Explosions now look super cool, and also no longer penetrate walls.
We've also fixed some terrible bugs in the last version (no, you weren't mean to be full healing every floor 😅). We've improved the sphere choices with new UI and added more run modifiers and chronosphere sizes.
