Today's update is an important one. As of version 0.607, there are now 30 unique cards for the Soldier, 25 unique cards for the Ninja, 5 unique Neutral cards, and 26 unique Upgrades! The game is pretty unbalanced right now (in favor of the player), but what I'm really trying to nail down are two things - Fun, and Comprehension. Ignoring the numbers, are the new cards fun to use? Are there some cards that you always take and use (Rail Gun), or some that you always ignore or recycle (Flashbang)? Finally, were you confused by any of the cards? 

I added the Perks system (orange keywords) to try and help avoid confusion since some of the newer cards can have multiple effects happening at once. Are any of them overwhelming, or just don't make any sense? Don't worry about giving a solution, or a reasoning, just a simple "Card X was confusing because I didn't know what it would do," or "Card Y had too many popups to read at once" is all I'm looking for.

If you're uncomfortable giving public feedback in Discord, you can feel free to email me at tyler@whisperingspidergames.com. I'm just trying to make the best game I can, and if you're willing to help me out with that I would be extremely grateful :)

Don't expect much for the next week or two, unfortunately, as now with a lot of content added it's time to focus on some not-so-glamorous work for the near future. If bugs are found or new artwork is added I'll push out an update, but other than that don't expect too much until closer to the end of the month. On to the patch notes!

• [MAJOR GAMEPLAY CHANGE] Stealth has been entirely reworked! Stealth now reduces enemy attack range by 1 for each stack. I never liked the old version, as forcing an enemy to not attack is way too powerful, and forcing enemies to swap targets is pretty clunky. I think the new effect is definitely the way to handle stealth, as it gives a different type of defensive benefit from Evasion and Shield, and there will be plenty of Ninja abilities that synergize extremely well with it, too!
• [NEW CARD EFFECT - PERKS] Some cards had unique effects that were getting a little tight with space for explanations and thus could be confusing. These edge-cases have been rolled into short perk phrases that are shown in orange and give a detailed popup to the left of the card when hovered.
• [BALANCE] Teleports are no longer considered Moves for the purpose of upgrades that trigger after moves (there are now teleport-unique triggers for other upgrades).
• [GUI] Enemy attacks that hit multiple times now have an indicator on the intent/target icon in the upper-left. For example, if their attack will hit 3 times, there will be a small "x3" shown.
