Added CHALLENGE mode!

  • A harder, more puzzle-like game mode

  • All enemies move while the player aims their sword strikes

  • HP is limited to 3

  • Player starts game with 0 coins

  • Levels start with 0 chaos

  • Boldy has a special S-Rank challenge

  • Beating Boldy's challenge grants you the new Ward Charm, an ancient Montressor treasure

CHALLENGE mode is recommended for a second playthrough. It's much more difficult and methodical, requiring more forethought and route planning. But the Ward Charm is maybe the coolest item in the game, so it's worth it.

Other improvements:

  • Graphics improvements, like the new Frog and Lilypad animations!

  • ENTER / START now skip dialogue, making menus / dialogue trees easier to "back out" of, especially while using the Phone

Bugs fixed:

  • Curses now clear when Maple passes out

  • Sword-drawn state now clears before returning to the Visitor Center

  • Fixed issue where enemies and keys could pass through Sage Grounds gates

  • Boss music no longer plays when muted

  • Fixed a potential crash issue with fire-spawning during boss fight

  • Mini-tutorial on Forbidden Trades can now be skipped

Thanks for playing, and for your feedback!! : )
