LOOPING UPDATE

When you finish a run you will anger Don Jon so much that he will start cheating. He will start removing features that were designed to save you. He will send you back to the first dungeon and you'll start a LOOP. Everything has increased in difficulty and taking damage with enough loops may result in instant death.

When a Loop starts all bullets/fireballs will speed up by 10%.
Enemies wake up twice as fast.
All damage will deal half a heart more.

While in a loop you will not be able to survive damage that will kill you with 1/4 Heart remaining. You will just die.

Stamina cost for the ROLL will be increased from 2 to 3 on your first loop(but it will not exceed 3 even after doing multiple loops).
The theme of a loop is that mistakes will be a lot more punishing than before. A miss-used roll will result in a finished run.

Downgrade options will always be 1 when you are in a loop.

CLOAK and MANTA Ray HP Now scale-up in LOOPS.

Cloak's difficulty scales with each loop.
Mini-Manta ray's fireball speed increases based on your current loop.




BUG FIXES
Fixed a bug that would cause your boomerang to move so fast it was impossible to catch.
FIXED DRAGONS NOT BEING ABLE TO ATTACK WHILE THEY WERE ONSCREEN
FIXED STAMINA BUDDY NOT ABLE TO HIT MANTA RAYS
FIXED SWORD FIREBALL NOT HITTING THE MANTA RAYS
FIXED a glitch that caused you to start a loop on the JUMP State! You will now start in the ROLL STATE.
FIXED a glitch that caused the boomerang to move so fast that it was uncatchable.
Fixed a bug that caused the dragons to not attack while they were on screen.



GAMEPLAY CHANGES
Dragon boss: Lowered second phase fireball speed from 1.8 to 1.6
This will make it easier to dodge the fireballs considering they ricochet.

Experience needed for next level up formula has been reworked.
New EXP formula
EXP_NEEDED= round(5 * ((CURRENT_LEVEL+2)^4) / 5);

Added a minimalistic HUD option. Enable it by pressing F1 once

UPGRADE CHANGES
+1 Heart has been changed to 1/2 heart on level ups
+4 Stamina has been changed to +2 stamina

ADDED half heart to the shop.
Removed I HATE GRASS as an upgrade for the time being.
Removed -1 Stamina Cost to Roll upgrade.
Removed +1 Stamina when rolling into an enemy.
When the above upgrades combined players would be able to abuse the invincibility frames fo rolling and skip entire levels. These upgrades will be removed until further notice.
Lowered Derpy Dice luck modifier from 12% to 8%

Apple Shake: (DURING BOSS FIGHTS RESTORE 1/4 OF A HEART EVERY 15 SECONDS)
Made it one-time use (Only works for the upcoming boss fight)
Reduced its price from 950 to 750.
This particular upgrade was meant to help out new players take on boss fights, so a price reduction will help it be picked more for a player that might need it. But it will also not be able to be abused to consistently refuel your HP for multiple boss fights.
