The enemy now waits a moment at the start of each wave before it starts wailing on you. Landing the first hit before you could even see the board was, and I quote, "rude." Fixed. ːspyroː
Softened up the first ~10 waves. It was tuned like match-3 Dark Souls for someone with 400 hours in. It's now tuned like match-3 Dark Souls for normal people. Baby steps!
2×2 squares are a real match now! Box up four cats and they clear + hit harder. Previously this did absolutely nothing... My bad.
Default hero is now Birdie (the one with, you know, health) instead of Peridot (the big-brain space-economy cat). New players kept clicking Play, getting the long-game money build, and dying immediately. Fair.
Our entire QA department (one (1) guy) reached wave 5 and filed a formal complaint.Match 3. Make squares. Stop dying on wave 5.
