v5.0 is finally out! This version includes a host of changes, including many different balancing changes, brand new weapon components, heart containers in the dungeons, a new boss attack, and tons of fixes and optimizations. It also comes with some features that are deactivated (in the game, but not accessible). These will be re-enabled once the necessary functionality is there. These additions can be seen at the bottom. As always, let me know how things are feeling on Discord (especially the new balancing changes all throughout the game).
