Beta Patch v20240319.13

We’ve been working to improve the feel of combat. The goal is to keep the flow of skating as you fight enemies. Or, put another way, to make enemies another useful tool for getting big combos. Let us know what you think of the changes on Discord or in the comments.

Thanks so much!
