Demo Update #4

Hi,

This one is the biggest visual round the demo has had, plus new symbols and a proper balance pass underneath it.

Let's get started to list changes briefly.

1. Five new symbols. Erenion deals magic damage that bounces to the second enemy in duo fights. War Banner hits harder for every physical symbol you land in the same spin. Fester deals damage per poison stack on the target. Sellsword deals damage equal to a cut of your gold. Shard is a rare that pierces armor.

2. Lucky Doll left the pool for now. It's getting a redesign and will come back with a real identity instead of flat gold.

3. Some symbols were redesigned. Hammer is a pure physical stunner now. Wizard's Shield grants shield and magic resist that builds up as you land it. Warrior's Draught buffs your physical damage for the whole fight instead of one turn. Thorn Mail reflects physical damage only, magic slips past it the same way it pierces armor.

4. A balance pass over the whole symbol table. Crit multipliers, prices, damage numbers and poison stacks were all retuned. Poison applies fewer stacks but Fester now rewards stacking it, and Executioner hits noticeably harder.

5. The slot machine is one machine now. The wheels share a single cabinet with one window instead of three separate boxes, and the whole thing lines up with your health bars at every resolution.

6. All five wheels are always on the cabinet. The locked ones sit dark until you unlock extra wheels at the Modifiers shop, so you can see what you're working toward.

7. Machine cosmetics got a full pass. Symbols slide under the frame instead of over it, divider lines scroll with the strip, the drum has real shading, there's a faint glass sheen, motion streaks while spinning, and the wheels ramp up to speed instead of snapping to it.

8. Almost every effect in the game got new visuals. Each element's critical hit has its own show, lightning splits the sky and flashes the stage, fire crits land a burning slash with a pillar of flame, poison crits drop a giant venom cloud, and gold crits rain more coins.

9. Statuses read on the screen now. Burning shows flames along your health bar, a stun stamps a skull on every wheel, and poisoned enemies carry a mark.

10. Projectiles are real projectiles. Chain Lightning fires a ray that lands as a head-to-toe bolt, Erenion throws a fire missile, and execute kills land a fiery slash with ground fire.

11. The CRITICAL banner moved next to the enemy at a readable size instead of covering the middle of the screen.

12. The main menu has the actual game logo now instead of plain text.

Countless smaller fixes. Gold orbs got bigger with proper trails, physical hits vary between several slash effects instead of repeating one, the values inside the enemy bars sit centered, and a pile of number and text corrections across all languages.

If you run into anything weird, the fastest way to reach me is Discord. If you're enjoying the demo, wishlisting the full game helps me more than you'd think.

Thanks for playing my game,

Furkan
