Tl;dr Replaced music, added a new bullseye ability, more relics, polish, and bugs

Note from Aarimous

This patch was aimed and adding some content and polish for the upcoming steam next fest. I am happy where the demo is currently and will be turning my focus onto Act 2 and 3 in perpetration for the early access release in November. As always please reach out with any bugs or feedback. Cheers, -Aarimous

Detailed Notes

• Bullseye Ability
  • Added a new ability that is tied to the players movement instead of a cooldown
  • Create a small target around you dealing damage to any enemies within its area. The target is created whenever you moves tiles and is slightly larger the further you move.
• Music
  • I've removed the two current songs and replaced with 3 that sound wayy better IMO
• Bug, Balance, and Misc
  • Balanced the abilities and relics again. This will be continual and not really worth noting the specific values.
  • Added the tutorial screen with images
  • Removed screen aberration as it wasn't adding the effect I wanted to
  • Adjusted the screen shake to use a different type of shake
  • Added new splash screen and warning
  • Updated text labels for character info
  • Tuned enemy health numbers as they felt too squishy
  • Added attack sounds for player melee
  • Added screen shake for player melee
  • Added relic rarity, this will allow me to create powerful relics but put them behind rarity so they don't appear every run
  • Added more relics
  • Bugs fixes and other stuff that I can't remember
