Player feedback is really important and I've decided to implement some balancing changes in regards to it. Patch 1.3.0 brings new features, balance changes and bugfixes.

[h3]FEATURES[/h3]

• Red Power Orb now additionally gives permanent 10% additive melee damage increase per pickup.
  
• Purple Power Orb now additionally gives permanent 10% additive spell damage increase per pickup.
  
  (There are in total 5 power orbs of each type across levels for total of 50% increased melee & spell damage. Existing saves will have these bonuses applied!)
  

[h3]BALANCE CHANGES[/h3]

• Reduced the amount of enemies across levels 4-6.
  
• Increased spawn delays of enemies across levels 4-6.
  
• Added more health potions across levels 4-6.
  
• Added Red and Purple Power Orbs on level 4.
  
• Increased cooldown of Werewolf Brute's pounce and bite attacks.
  
• Increased Medusa's health by 100.
  
• Increased Skeleton King's health by 200.
  
• Fireball's radius is slightly increased.
  

[h3]FIXES[/h3]

• Fixed an issue where player would start new level on normal difficulty with 50% health at most.
  
• Fixed an issue where player would get stuck in spike / lava pits with no way out.
  
• Enemies will no longer get confused when coming from out of bounds areas on level 4.
  

- Knightmare, Medusa and Skeleton King will now properly shoot at where the player is headed.
- Reduced friendly fire damage for bosses from 3.5x to 2.5x. This affects reflected projectiles as well.
- Reduced hitbox width for charged fireball. It should now be easier to chuck it in enemy group center.

- Player can now leave the elevator underbelly if they get stuck there somehow.
- Player should be less prone to fall through elevator.

Patch 1.2.0 brings difficulty settings as well as some bug fixes.

[h3]FEATURES[/h3]

• Added difficulty settings, players can choose from following:
  
  
  
  • INITIATE: Enemies take 33% more damage, deal 33% damage less and are 10% slower (both movement and attacks). Health potions heal for 33% more. Player starts with 5 lives.
    
  • ADEPT: Everything is at a baseline. Player starts with 3 lives.
    
  • MASTER: Enemies take 33% damage less, deal 33% damage more and are 10% faster (both movement and attacks). Health potions heal for 33% less. Player starts with 1 life.
    

[h3]FIXES[/h3]

• Fixed an issue where player could get 255 lives when doing save / load when dying and 0 lives left.
  
• Fixed an issue where monsters would have 0 health and be alive on load after saving while the death animation is playing.
  

- Fixed death screen closing after pressing ESC and leaving player in a stuck state
