Fixes a bug that would lock the game when Incubus/Succubus/Butcher trigger the death of Swampy.
v1.6.2 - Trick or Treat!
Happy Halloween everyone! As this is by far my favorite holiday, I knew I had to do something special in a game that just seems so perfect for it. With the recent introduction of the new relic system, and the expansion of the gem and socketable system, we decided to take that in a fun new direction with the new "Trick r Treat" Relic.
"Trick r Treat" does nothing on its own, but when you choose it you're given a random assortment of 6 "Tricks" and "Treats." Treats function like Gems and can be socketed to a minion. The usually will decrease delay, but at a cost of other negative traits. This can be worth it to help make high-delay minions more useful, or maybe you just want to make your minions slow and weak so your Vamps can have a feast? Or maybe you'll get lucky and end up with a few "Tricks" in the bag, which will boost the effect of treats on minions, and potentially outweigh their negative effects.
The random assortment and variety of effects on these cards ensure that every playthrough will have something new to try that works a bit differently than the last one.
And of course, this being a game in active development, we've been making lots more improvements since the last update as well!
Added chest animation to reward screen
Gem rebalance
Incubus, Succubus, Butcher ability tweaks

🎃 Halloween Content Launch Live-Stream
Kicking off our new Halloween content update with a live-stream and watch the dev walk through some of the new features. Come see the new Tricks & Treats, new Relics, as well as another run through of all the new minions and features added recently.
v1.6.1 - Monster Mash
There's a whole lot of new content to try out here, so I'm going to keep this short and let you discover most of it yourself. I've added new minions to each clan, as well as a 3rd tier for the starter minions (imp, goblin, shroomy, zombaby) so they can now be combined an additional time. The new minions have all unique abilities to discover and I think you'll find some of them really fun! I've also rebalanced many of the existing minions, and tweaked or changed their powers.
New features
20 New minions (2 per clan, plus 2 upgrades, plus 4 new tier-3 starter minions)
Shields all take 3 hits (including gold shields and summoned shields)
New relics
New spells
Minion and gem stat tweaks

v1.6.0 - Necronomicon
I'm happy to release a major UI overhaul I've been working on with the incredibly talented Immunity! In addition to the incredible new title screen, we've reworked all the UI elements within the game, and added brand new card backs and art all throughout. We tossed in a couple new features while we were at it, like a clan selection screen when creating a new game so you can finally choose your starting minions. There's also a brand new page added to the book menus, which shows a map of your progress and your full run stats.
Changes:
New title
New UI
Card art
Health bars also added to the mini cards, replacing the hearts
Fixed a gem combine exploit
