Healer's Quest update 1.1 - Expert Mode added

Hello, dear healers!

Update 1.1 is live on Steam!
This includes ground breaking changes, like the addition of the Expert Mode which allows you to play with 5 different spells instead of 4!

Patch notes 1.1.00

The EXPERT MODE has been added. You can now play Healer’s Quest with 5 spells in your spellbar instead of 4. But watch out because enemies are tougher in Expert Mode. The Classic Mode with 4 spell slots is of course still available.
I also tried to make Healer’s Quest more children-friendly by adding an option to censor the swearings and a very easy mode.
Finally, there are new rewards when completing the game, bug fixes and balance tweaks. See below for all the details.

New features:

  • Added the Expert Mode : play with 5 spells in your spellbar instead of 4! Ennemis are tougher in Expert Mode.
  • Added a “Very Easy” difficulty level
  • Added an option to censor the (moderate) swearings (English and French only)
  • Upon completing the game in normal or higher difficulty, you unlock two new voice actors for the announcements (fight, victory, defeat, etc.): Pablo Coma (myself, solo dev of the game and voice actor of the male healer) and Christelle Frédérick (voice actress of the female healer)

Balancing:

  • Bless mana cost: 18 → 15 mana
  • Shield mana cost: 18 → 15 mana
  • Strength mana cost: 18 → 15 mana
  • Taunt cooldown reduced by 2 seconds
  • Cost for redispatching magic stars divided by 2

Bug fixes:

  • Jumping using the keyboard now correctly gets rid of the Mana Leach abnormal status.
  • Taunt cooldown was 2 seconds longer than announced by the game

I hope you’ll have fun with Healer’s Quest v1.1! :)
