Welcome, Survivor!
Thank you all for playing the game, your positive reception, and submitting all of your feedback and bug reports.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES:
- Reroll option has been added to SOS Survivor Selection panel.
- "Stone Skin" power-up now grants 1000 Armor and when its effect is active, the low-health vignette visual effect is disabled.
- After expending all possible level-up options, there's now a 100% chance to have level-up options of both money and a health powerup.
- Experience modifier that increases every few enemy waves was reduced a bit.
