WHAT'S NEW:

• EASY MODE: makes the game essentially turn-based by freezing battle while you pick coins. Secrets and scoring that have to do with finishing the game won't unlock, but everything else is fair game. A good way to learn new classes or for new players to get acclimated to the game. Available in the Options screen.
• Disable Gamepad option
• You can resize the game window freely (but the aspect ratio will never change)

WHAT'S TWEAKED:

• Claim ghosts only begin appearing after unlocking the "Coinhalla" achievement; and they can now appear on chests not blessed by deities. The rate of appearance is still based on quantity donated to deities though.
• Coin type spawn rates now shift based on coins that have been gifted from deities (ie. if a deity is giving you a lot of attacks, fewer attacks will show up in non-deity chests in favor of coins you're lacking, like heals).
• A few balance tweaks here and there. Notably, "Terra Firma Nummus" (which lengthens status effects) got a huge power up (I think we typo'd its original stats...) and the "Slip charm" (enemy drops a coin) lost its self-hit effect but dropped a speed class (now takes 1 beat instead of being instant).
• Several coins have been updated to higher resolution art (thanks to DragonPlatino)
• Slightly improved layout on the collection screens that makes the scrollbar always visible
• Status effects now cap out at 20
• Spacebar/enter keys can now be used to confirm a character class change

WHAT'S FIXED:

• Changed how we format the PC build--should be more compatible across the board, including for Windows 10.
• Mousing over inventory coins while the gamepad is enabled will always highlight the correct coin now.
• RT now is the correct input to change score views on the title screen.

----------------------- Before you ask, we're working on a HARD MODE as well... but we want to give it some different music, and spend some more time playtesting, and we think it will fit in better with the Sea&Sky DLC when it's ready. So it will be a little bit before it's available. Keep an eye out on our devlog, where we'll be posting about new DLC content soon! EDIT 8/18: there was a rare crash happening during battle that we tried to address with a new patch just now.
