New features:

• Added the "Desolate Park" location, available at Gate level 4;
  
• Added the "Clown" boss;
  
• Added the "Market" building:
  Here, you can exchange one type of resource for another. The exchange rate will become more favorable as the building levels up.
  
• Added the "Let's Rock" perk for Brawler-class Mercs:
  Once every X sec. releases a sound wave that pushes enemies around for X meters and stuns them for X sec.
  
  
  
  
• Added the "Seismic Hammer" weapon:
  It deals AoE electric damage, repelling and stunning enemies. Also has the "Cataclysm" evo: once unlocked, the shockwave will spread sideways.
  
  
  
  
• Added new skills:
  "Deadly Needle" — shoots a dart at the nearest enemy, dealing toxic damage with an X% chance to instantly eliminate the target;
  "Graviton" — launches a flying projectile in a random direction that blows up after a while, drawing enemies to the epicenter of the explosion and dealing physical damage.
  
  
  
  
• Added new enemies:
  Ghost Rider — a zombie that moves in a straight line to the opposite edge of the screen, leaving a trail of fire behind and dealing physical damage upon contact;
  Electro Zombies — enemies that gather in groups of 12 to form rings that deal electrical damage in an arc and repel the Merc away. They do not move and are immune to knockback.
