v0.4.0
Major changes

Room Modifier System
This is a system that add content to a room without changing the reward, it can increase it or make the enemies stronger
- Modifiers that increase the loot have a chest icon

Snowman Refactor
I changed his ability from:
- A big snowball send in the direction of mouse, creating a giant frost explosion on hit To:
- Make frost shard fall around the mouse for 3s (can be increase by various stats), creating a lot of small frost explosions
- Rely more on frost burn effect than pure damage
I also changed his second passive to make him less op, I removed his ability to gain permanent aoe range and damage, instead I increase a bit his damage from:
- ... ice spikes deals 5/8/11/14/20 damages To:
- ... ice spikes deals 10/13/16/19/25 damages
Samuraï Refactor
I changed the side effect of the active ability from boosting stats to:
- Shoot around the player, the number of shots depends on the APS
I also changed his second passive from gaining various stats to:
- On dash, the next 3/4/5/6/7 shots will do a critical hit
Later, I will remake his ability like I want

Next
Major things
Add a system of "tag" for relics, weapons and active abilities, in order to only show relics that can be use by your current build.
Then, add A LOT of new relics, like I have listed more than 130 relics, I want to add a lot of them.
And, if I have time, some new weapons as well as the refactor of bounce and pierce.
Minor things
I'm planning to add more collectible (I was a bit late for this update) and some other room modifiers.
Also, refactor the samuraï like I wanted (but it takes some time to do it properly)
