## Bosses

- Deadlier version radial attack charge time **3s → 2.5s**.
- Normal version should be slightly easier and deadlier version should be slightly tougher.

- I won't spoil it, but the fight should be a lot more challenging and interesting.

## Item balance

- **Credit Card** — shop discount **10% → 8%** per stack.
- **Pearl Earrings** — enemy gold drops **10% → 15%** per stack.
- **Microscope**
- Chance for blocks to drop 1 gold now caps at 100% the same way armor does (asymptotic scaling).
- The first few stacks have basically the same effect as before, but you will get less benefit from each additional stack the more microscopes you have.
- **Sledgehammer**
- Crit chance **5%** (**+10%** per stack) → **10%** (**+10%** per stack).
- Block crits no longer deal flat **4x** — now **+100%** damage (**+50%** per stack).

- **Lumberjack Axe** — cooldown **6s → 5s**.
- **Capacitor**
- Aura damage **25% → 40%** per stack.
- Damage area extends slightly closer to the player, so you don't get stuck on blocks while mining with the aura.

- **Jackhammer** — damage interval **0.125s → 0.0625s**. Damage **800% → 500%** (~25% DPS increase and should be smoother to mine with).
- **Gas Canister** — explosion radius **2m → 1.5m** (**1m → 0.75m** per stack). Damage **150% → 200%** (**75% → 100%** per stack).

## Difficulty & Economy

- Difficulty curve has been adjusted to remain roughly the same early, but ramp up much quicker for longer runs.
- Enemy damage ramps up faster as difficulty increases.
- Enemies drop **~25% more gold**.
- Ruby healing **20 → 10**. Ruby experience **5 → 2**.
- Fewer **fans** and **Tesla coils** on ice worlds.
- Experience required to level up increases faster. It takes ~20 more gold to reach lvl 5, ~300 more gold to reach lvl 10, ~1000 more gold to reach lvl 15.

## Chests & Shrines

- **Chests** now drop **upgrade items** instead of gold.
- Cat Shrine is no longer affected by **luck** (Clover is OP enough and will only affect other upgrade item effects going forward).
- Cat Shrine fails permanently increases odds by **5%** for that shrine (hidden to the player).

## Bug Fixes

- Fixed shrines sometimes failing to give an item and destroy themselves.
- **Chonkzilla** now only deals **1** hit of contact damage on collision (was able to KO you through 1-shot protection before).
- Fixed item contribution tracking rounding errors on some stats (+X% gold dropped from enemies was under reporting contributions by a lot).
