Screen freezing has been fixed!!!

Figured out it was the GPU particles being rendered on first shot. It should work now. LOTS OF UPDATES!!! (You can now press "I" to access your inventory/pause the game)

While inside the card shop, simply click on the major card to bring up the level-up menu. Click on any minor card to bring up the combine menu. Click "shop" to purchase more minor cards.

Basic How to Play:

• Walk around and don't touch the spooky ants!
• You fire automatically towards the closest target
• Collect the orbs they drop! You also gain money for every insect defeated

Introducing the TCG Mechanic:

Very very very VERY not done. We have swapped out a traditional stat system for a stat token system. There are three tokens in total:

• Strength Tokens (Red):  +2 Strength,  +0.15 Attack Speed
• Tank Tokens (Green): +25 Max HP,  +5 Armor
• Swift Tokens (Blue): +0.25 Attack Speed, +1% Critical Chance, +5% Critical Damage

You collect these tokens the same way you generate levels! Increasing levels increase the rate at which you gain tokens, however the amount of biomass orbs required to generate a token increases based on how many tokens you have. Basically? Spend tokens as frequently as possible!!!

How though? We've implemented two different shops: the card shop and the item shop. The item shop is self-explanatory: head there to spend money and gain upgrades. This will be reworked later such that, the items in the shop strictly give unique effects.

The card shop is brand new and so are the cards!

There are two types of cards: major and minor. Major cards have big impacts on the game, but can be a pain to level up. Currently, the only major card in the game is "The Generalist" which does nothing at level 1. At level 2, this card increases the amount of tokens gained by +2. All tokens lost are also increased by +1. This is a HUGE increase in power! But it does cost 10x of each token.

Minor cards on the other hand, are really just pure stat increases. Trade in your tokens at the shop for a card that is either equal to, or better than your current stats! You can also combine minor cards in order to create stronger cards. This levels up the tier of that card by +1 (up to +3). This is indicated by the border of the card!

• Bronze Card Level --> Level 1
• Gold Card Level --> Level 2
• Diamond Card Level --> Level 3

There is still SO MUCH to do (adding card descriptions to everything is up first)! However, we're really happy with how things look so far. Thank you to everyone who has kept up with our development!!

Still in development, but we'll post playable builds as we finish them.
