I need to talk about this update. I've received many, many feedback about the game difficulty. And unfortunately, I failed at marketing my game correctly.

Many players told me,"I thought the game was relaxing, but it turns out it was super stressful."

My original design was to have a very difficult game, but my marketing failed to convey this. There was a conflict between super cute visuals, and the pain and misery while playing, haha :). Since changing it now will take so much time, I've decided instead to make the game much easier.

Gameplay-wise, nothing will change, but the upgrade will give a massive advantage, around +30%-50% more than previously. This way, I may respect both hardcore and casual players.
