Card Retweaks :
After playing the game thoroughly through a couple levels. I have decided to take some balancing measures, to ensure that some cards to pack-the-punch that they are advertised to do.
Trust me, there's nothing less satisfying than merging for three rounds straight, only to receive a mediocre (at best) card.

Environment (level) Retweaks :
The main focus on this update was to avoid excessive repetition. The repeats of enemies in waves are meant to challenge the player, and really force them to be careful, and ensure that they heal appropriately.
The point is not to make each repeat feel like a burden to the player. Consequently all levels from here on out will be limited to a maximum of three (3) rounds.

Enemy Retweaks :
There wasn't much to change with the enemies for now. This update isn't meant to avert my attention to them. For now.... That being said, there were some minor issues I wished to address.

Hollow Sentinel | Fixed glitch where laser beam from below was visible one frame too early |
Until Next Time (this time it will take longer for the next update, I promise) !
