Added player characters in release v0.9.0


New player characters are in!

The original jam release only had a handful of player characters.

With v0.9.0 there are now 16 playable player character classes. There is a random selection of 4 you can start with, and then a pool of 4 at each level up. Level ups currently happen at encounter number 6, 11, and 16.

Here are a couple of the new characters: Paladin - Devotion - Deal 1 extra damage for each word in memory that starts with the same letter Rogue - Backstab - 2x damage if using the enemy’s last letter

Balance

There isn’t much of it! I’ve done a bit of testing and some of these characters are way too strong and others totally suck.

A couple characters don’t quite work as their text suggests they should too.

I’m planning to work on getting all the enemies in next, and then go over everything to squash bugs and make effects more consistent.

Can you add phone support? Or is it too much of  a hassle 😅?

I’ll add it to the list of stuff to do haha!

I think it’s non-trivial cause I’m gonna need to reorganize the layout to fit on a phone. Especially since you’ll need the phone keyboard out the whole time.
