Update v0.12: A bit beginner-friendlier


This is a small update intended to address player feedback and make the game more digestible for the first-time players.
Until first completion of stage 8, new player now has access to only 40 cards and 70 items, which hopefully reduces cognitive load.

Minor gameplay changes:

  • Added 'fatigue' encounter effect
  • Encounter effect 'upgraded' is now unlocked earlier to facilitate unlocking card upgrades
  • More cards and items are locked behind achievements
  •  Added new 'Intro' achievement to simplify early meta-game for new players

Minor UI changes:

  • Clarified some card descriptions
  • Multi-line effect descriptions are now indented to separate them better
  • Improved achievements highlighting

New items (1):

  • Ice Cream

Balance:

  • Buffed cards: Heavy Blow
  • Nerfed monsters: Deep One

Selected bugfixes:

  • Fix some typos in tutorial
  • Tutorial window is now correctly draggable in Chrome
  • Prevent tutorial soft-lock when user plays cards prematurely
  • Do not offer encounter effects which use locked mechanics
  • Additional card rewards no longer offer locked cards
  • Fix crash on encountering Deepest One monster before unlocking it
  • Fix Goblin Bomber adding locked card to player's hand
  • 'Frozen Peak' quests are now correctly limited to 'frozen' terrain
