v0.32.2 is released!
Early game improvements
Hi all, thanks to feedback, I have made improvements to enhance and speed up the early game experience.
I notice that HP wasn't a problem early game, and you could easily just go straight to 50m, so the turtle HP was decreased. This was actually a problem because people didn't know how to get SP, and the death objective was rarely completed early on. This hopefully makes you die faster to discover that you gain SP from dying, and speed up the gain rate of SP which is crucial early on.
Jetpack was also unrewarding early game, so it was buffed to start at 15% instead of 5%.
Shortcut keys are added to upgrade stats, and in the next update I will add tooltips to make that clear.
Equipment have been made stronger to be competitive with skills in the late game.
Coin sizes were reduced to minimize clutter on screen especially with the Treasure Seeker skills.
I got feedback that the early game experience can be slow. While this was intended, I thought perhaps to give more sources of skill points, so a new card type was added to give SP, so a 7th card type has been introduced. Companions also now give more SP on the first ascension.

Jetpack now starts at 15% of max dist, and increases by 0.2~0.5% per level
