addedI improved the generation of the dungeon layout, so there's now more "splits" and dead-ends (which can be used for interesting future rooms!)
addedAlso introduced a couple of different dungeon room sizes, and in those tight places some good bullet-heaven fights can be had (or a well placed bomb does wonders).
addedFinally I've been tinkering a bit with balancing things concerning enemy-skills, loot-drops, level-up speed, etc. So this new demo might feel a bit different!
changedI was planning on more features, but as mentioned, I consider this a lite-update mostly to fix some crash issues.
