This update brings in several exciting new elements, and marks us officially leaving early access. We will continue to fix bugs and make improvements as they come up!

First, let's talk balance and other minor changes:

• Gambling Ring now costs 1 energy
• Tutorial has more helpful signage for first time players
• Get extra gold when you turn down cards in treasure chests
• The last three floors of the dungeon are considerably more difficult
• Horcrux isn't break-the-game OP any more (damage stacks per card, not between cards)
• A variety of small quality-of-life bug fixes

On to the big changes! There are new cards and a new game mechanic. Let's talk about the new cards first! All of the following cards are now available in chests throughout the dungeon and in the shop. We're excited to see how you surprise us with new combos!

The other big change is the addition of altars! Floors 2, 5 and 8 now contain an "altar room" which has a special token on the floor that you can interact with. These altars let you make tradeoffs that can either end your run quickly, or supercharge your deck, depending on how prepared you are. We've created the following 12 altars that you can expect to see:

• Uncharted Oasis: your player has better healing, but you now lose block at the start of turns
• Dry Fountain: you gain 20 max health, but you can no longer use or find red health potions
• Hellish Grave: burning enemies is more effective, but you gain 3 self-harming burn cards in your deck
• Cemetery: applying weak to enemies is more effective, but all of your attacks now do less damage
• Hideous Demon: add an extra powerful card to your deck, but also add 2 curse cards to your deck
• Ring of Death: card health costs are doubled, but they now damage all enemies on screen as well
• Piercing Dagger: your player deals more physical damage, but block is less effective
• Double Daggers: your player deals more magic damage, but block is less effective
• Vast Library: you get 2 extra energy, but you can no longer burn/stun/weak/poison your enemies
• Royal Throne: poison is more effective, but you lose 2 hp at the end of each turn
• Well Well Well: lose 10 max health, but start all battles with 10 block
• Twisted Grave: lose 1 max energy, but energy now carries over to your next turn
