In this patch, we are exploring certain system changes to increase the pace of the game, and the frequency of magic abilities used.
We have been busy restructuring our server architecture to improve stability and better prepare us for upcoming features. While there is still a good amount of work left, we are working towards enabling private match lobbies to support more than 2 players, and spectator mode.

- Changed board to start with 6 rows of garbage blocks
- Panic Mode multiplier is now 1.5x when in Panic Mode.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug that was causing certain assets to display in lower resolutions than intended.
- Fixed misc animation glitches.
