I enjoyed the changes in this patch, thanks for considering my feedback!
However, I found a few bugs in this patch. I was recording a video to show that you can beat the game with just the shockwave combination (shockwave might be too strong lol), when I encountered a few strange bugs:
At the five minute point, the explosion effect starts sometimes snapping between affected enemies. This bug is somewhat consistent, occurring more often later in a run. At the eight and a half minute point, a material gets stuck in the crafting menu. This seems to just happen sometimes when placing a material anywhere, usually later in a run, maybe related to the explosion visual error (a memory management issue?). Finally, while the material is stuck, the crafting menu begins consuming casings of the same type. I can't get this to happen again though, so maybe it's just part of the previous bug.
