Luck be a Landlord News

The game has been patched with bug fixes, minor balance changes, and a countdown timer.

• Increased the odds of finding Rare and Very Rare items by 2.5x
  
• The symbol choice after the 1st rent payment is now guaranteed to have 3 Uncommon symbols or better (up from 1 Uncommon symbol or better)
  
• The symbol choice after the 2nd rent payment is now guaranteed to have 3 Uncommon symbols or better (up from 2 Uncommon symbols or better)
  
• Hex of Thievery now follows the same multiplier logic as other symbols, in that it will no longer have multipliers applied (such as the one from a Witch) when the symbol's value is negative
  

The above balance changes were made to make the game somewhat easier overall, as well as increasing viable build variety.

I understand that these changes aren't going to 100% solve the problem that some of you may have had with the randomness of the game, but know that I am listening and am working on solutions to the best of my ability.

I would like to add many more balance changes in the first content update, which will be more substantial than just tweaking a few numbers. Rather than forcing everyone to wait for the content update, I felt that these changes couldn't hurt to add in the meantime.

Please let me know your thoughts either in the comments or on the official discord!

• Added a timer to the title screen which counts down the time until the game's next content update
  
• Made items hoverable, but not clickable, during a spin (this is primarily for when an item is added from an Item Capsule, and the player wants to see what the item does immediately)
  
• Made the Pop-up retain its position when the player rerolls symbols with Recycling
  

• Fixed a bug where the Options button could be clicked, even when not visible, under certain circumstances
  
• Fixed a bug where Midas Bombs would not apply their multipliers to symbols correctly under certain circumstances
  
• Fixed a bug where Wildcards would not take the multiplier from Rusty Gear into account
  
• Fixed a bug where Dwarves would give the wrong amount when destroying Beer and Wine while the player had a Lemon
  
• Fixed a bug where a transforming or growing symbol, such as Coal or Seed, would visually change into the end result symbol for 1 frame at the beginning of its animation
  

The game has been patched to deal with a few bugs and increase UI clarity/consistency.

• Made item choices and tooltips have a different background color from symbol choices and tooltips
  
• Made the position of numbers on items in the inventory consistent with the rest of the UI
  

• Fixed a bug where spinning while having more than 16 items and being on the 2nd item page or higher would cause "Null" coins to be given
  
• Fixed a bug where having the Frozen Pizza item and Swapping Device item could make the "add a symbol" pop-up appear in the middle of a spin
  
• Fixed a bug where continuing the game without reloading the application would crash the game after opening the inventory
