VERSION 2.3:

PERK CHANGES:

  • Removed the bonuses for words related to “kindness” for Benevolent, words related to “Death” for Gravemarked, and words related to “Music” for Harmonic.

  • Benevolent now gives you an extra Gem every time an Enemy Book attacks you.

  • Gravemarked now gives you 3x points for words containing “DIE” in them.

  • Harmonic is now Headstrong, and starts you off at 1 health, but makes every word worth 2x more points.

NEW FEATURES:

  • Points now have a tick increase animation.

BUG FIXES:

  • Fixed a bug that caused Juvenescent to only give 2x points instead of 3x.

  • Fixed a visual bug with the point number.

  • Fixed a visual bug with the keyboard sprites.

The perks Benevolent, Gravemarked, and Harmonic were just not good and hardly gave any use. This is a much needed rework.
