This update was shorter than usual because I'm wrapping some things up to organize playtests on the weakend with the current state of the game. There's not a whole lot that is big then, but I finally added another one of the slime moods, fury, which means now there is only one left to add. I also stablished a lot of balancing that I want to make in regards to the progression of the a "run", but I'm leaving until after the playtests to do this, so only on the next update.

Features:

• Fury State: when slimes become furious they will gain a movement and cooldown bonus to seek their targets faster. At the moment, fury will end as soons as the slime hits a target, as is meant to help them get there, but considering that this might make the fury state just a blip if the slime is already in short distance of its target, I'm considering making it time base. I didn't want to make it time based originally because it means fury can run out before the slime lands a hit on someone, which makes it a bit incomplete as a battle narrative beat. There's also the option to make it both, if the slime hits a target too fast, fury still lasts a while, but this seams a bit inconsistent and potentially confusing to witness in battle.
• Retribution Damage: if a slime has any amount of the retribution stat, it will reflect back some of the damage it receives back to the attacker.
• Innate Skills: skills at level five can still level up once more, but instead of reaching level six they will become innate. Innate skills have an 100% chance to be inherited by slimes, making sure that you lock in skills over time.

Changes:

• Warm Feeling was buffed to heal more at lower levels.

Fixes:

• Some missing text was filled in.
• A bug where the game wouldn't properly save what machines and slots you unlocked was fixed.
• The unlock UI now displays the bribe percentage increase correctly.
• The Glare vfx always shows up now and no longer only when someone was actually affected.
• The hit sfx used for Cupid Shot was changed into something more appropriate.
• I hope now the rendering order of all sprites during battle have been actually fixed, including healthbars and the skill text callouts.

Known Bugs:

• The "dead slimes" UI will sometimes open empty without any of your slimes having died.
• At certain moments the vertical health ranking is completely empty despite the slimes in battle.
• The yellow sprite might have a visual bug during the dash animation.
• Due to collision shenanigans, slimes will sometimes sling to the other side of the screen during fights.
• The victory screen doesn't have a return button and just forces you to quit the game.
• Sometimes slimes will still show up twice in the battle rank.
