Well how about that, another update.
It officially boggles the mind how lightning fast this update has come about. I say that because a few of these new enemies use lightning.

Here's some wonders to ponder:

Levels:

• Factory Cogs
• Factory Wires
  

Combat Characters:

• Zapprentice
• Blobes
• Waterminator
• Teardrop
• Mystick
• Wiry
• Brokin
  

Exploration Encounters:

• Little Investigator
  

Exploration Scenery:

• Factory Deck
• Sunny Woods
  

Charms:

• Bin of Begone
• Cursed Root
  

Tiles:

• Sea Spear
• Teardrop
• Branch
  

Achievements:

• Cat Coin Collector
  

Changes:

• Various small UI changes based on feedback
• Turn counter display makes more sense, starts on turn 1 now
• You can see the match pool now by hovering over characters and the turn counter
• Characters show their take damage reactions
• Fixed conversation buttons is the new default
• Status effect casts now follow the rules for statuses like wide, tall, drilleye etc
• Match Pool information is now exposed in various character/item/level descriptions
• Meta Novelty system: reduces repetition of enemies and some exploration encounters across runs
• Goose shop redesign
  

This tiny update contains a fair bit of content to flesh out The Heist story, with robotic scenery and characters. A new mechanic is introduced with the Bin of Begone, whereby you can trash tiles off the grid. Various important UI improvements will help with the game being more transparent with its inner workings. You'll now be able to see the "match pool" and how it is populated by characters, items and the level. A new meta novelty system keeps track of recent enemies and characters you have met across runs, and reduces the chance of repeating them too often. Also a tiny rat detective can be met and aided in its investigation.

As always please join my Discord (Link Here ) if you want to steer the direction of this game in any particular way. I take all feedback in and try my best to work on anything that gets mentioned.
