Big shoutout to Tobias, who made a video on how to break the game for insane numbers (with the latest changes, this info should already be dated tho).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXVi0Wm8kKU

Balancing & Changes

• Adjusted balance for many Skill cards: any Skill that deals no Damage will now be banished when played.
  This means they can only be used once per combat, making infinite combos no longer viable. Dont get us wrong pulling off massive damage is a lot of fun. But maybe that was a bit too much! Were preparing so this wont be possible in future events. (Though were sure youll still find other ways to break the game. )

  [/*]

• The Skill deck also received adjustments so its not as strong right from the start.

  [/*]

• El Oso was having issues with his second ability. For now, hell keep only one ability until we can bring it back properly.

  [/*]

• Marking Counter has been removed from Shop Specials.
  Its no longer possible to add Brands to cards in the shop, but you can still gain Brands as rewards after defeating certain enemies.

  [/*]

Thank You!

Thanks again to everyone who joined the event and played the demo! Watching how you all approached the challenge helped us discover many ways to break the game that maybe shouldnt exist and quite a few bugs we wouldve never found on our own.

Wed love to hear your thoughts on these changes, so please let us know what you think!

[b]Bearly Brave Demo Update V0.8.8
[/b]

Hi everyone! steamhappy

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who has played the demo so far. Your feedback, bug reports, and creative combos have been incredibly helpful. We've been reading everything and working hard to improve the game with every update.

This patch brings a round of balancing, fixes, and a little surprise for Jumbo Battery users. Here's what's new:

Balancing & Changes

• Enemy HP reduced by 20% across the board. This should give players more room to experiment with builds and potentially open the door for no-hit runs.

  [/*]

• Fix-It Joe was hitting too hard, so we adjusted his second ability:

  [list]

• Before: Deals +1 Damage for each "Scrap" card in your deck

  [/*]

• Now: Deals +1 Damage if you have "Scrap" cards in your hand

  [/*]

Patch Scaling Buffs:

• Gray Plane: 0.2 0.25

  [/*]

• Pink Plane: 0.25 0.3

  [/*]

• Pain Wagon Skill nerfed:

  [list]

• Damage per Brand reduced from 15 10

  [/*]

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a rare bug where enemies looked alive at 0 HP. Wrong game genre, guys.

  [list]

• If this ever happens again, please use the "Copy my build" button in the ESC menu and send us the .res file

  [/*]

Community Event Coming Soon!

We're preparing a community event where players will compete for the highest combo score, with cool prizes for the top players.
