Update 4.1: Game Balance Changes

Hi friends. Just a small update with a lot of small adjustments and changes to enemy encounters and game balance.

• Post-battle heal/money rewards have been reduced.

• Skipping adding a skill at the post-battle rewards screen now gives the player $1.

• Risque Influencer attack damage increased to 24 (from 23).

• Sally status effect buff (power) increased to 4 (from 3).

• Overstimulated Newbie attack pattern changed to 2x5 (from 3x3).

• Minor Burnout attack damage increased to 12 (from 10).

• Meeting Blob attack damage increased to 20 (from 19).

• Mad Maestro status effect buff (block) increased to 8 (from 6).

• Glenn health increased to 22 (from 20).

• Glenn attack damage increased to 6 (from 5).

• Critical Neckbeard health increased to 125 (from 120).

• CEO starting buff (Dispel) increased to 3 (from 1).

• CEO attack damage increased to 17x2 (from 16x2).

• Several minor bug fixes.

What's next: I'd like to implement alternate enemy attack patterns (finally) for every enemy in the game. The goal would be to introduce more variety and less predictable encounters. This would add over 100 (maybe 200?) new battle patterns.

This will take me a bit of time to cook up, as we juggle these updates with our second game's development. But look for that in a future update.

As always, thanks to all players who have taken the time to leave us a Steam review or drop into our Discord (especially you cool cats who shared your feedback on the game in there).

Stay frosty.
