BOSS RUSH
+ Introducing a brand new boss rush mode!
+ This mode is heavily WORK IN PROGRESS so expect many fixes down the line.
+ You will get 3 SHOPS before being put head to head against the many bosses in THE ROT including new bosses! Fight to see how far you can go with ramped up difficulty!
NEW DEFENSE SYSTEM
+ Defending has been reworked! On a successful defend you will gain shield based off your DEFENSE stat and only take half damage, if you just brace for an attack you will only take half damage, no free shield.
+ Defending felt completely useless unless you were rotting or was playing TITANSLAYER so I wanted it to feel good and helpful as a universal mechanic
SAVING
+ You can now have your run saved, runs are saved through the exit button and you can only save one run per device
+ High scores will also be saved and will be updated when a new character reaches that high score
(Note: BOSS RUSH Mode does not have saving, but the high score will be saved)
NEW ENEMIES
+ There's now a ton of new enemies in the new areas!!
+ Alongside the new enemies there are new effects for battle.
+ Enemies have been balanced to get a new health increase after LEVEL 50
+ Enemies can now inflict STUN you (Can't attack for a few turns)
+ Enemies can now inflict WEAKENED on you (Deal 1/3 damage for a few turns)
+ Enemies can now inflict SILENCED on you (Can't use magic for a few turns)
+ Enemies can now inflict BREAKING BONE on you (Same as weakened but permanently lose 25% of a random stat)
+ Enemies can now inflict FROZEN on you (Take -1 DMG and can't attack for a few turns)
+ Enemies can now inflict BLEED on you (Take -1% HP every turn for a few turns)
+ Enemies can now inflict SHOCK on you (Adds +2 cool down on your magic and you take heavier damage) \
