Update #4: rebalancing, auto-saving and more

The major features added in this update are:

• removed quicksaving, the game now auto-saves instead on two separate slots: after every battle and map transition

• rebalanced many mid and late-game enemies

• buffed buckets and slightly emo

• added the ability to change equipment during combat

The game should now be more accessible to people not so familiar with RPGs while retaining the key parts that give the experience just the right amount of challenge.
