Music will play a big part in creating the overall vision I have for FIGHT-QUEST. While implementation is fairly simple right now, this system allows for some really cool stuff in the near future.
Other than that, this update includes a heap of gameplay changes and fixes (and a couple new pieces of content!). Now that some of these severe bugs are taken care of, I'll now be focused on adding new upgrades, enemy armor, leaderboards, and more uses for your collected gold. Thank you all for playing, and for the crazy positive reception. Stay tuned for much more!
