Fixes.

  • Dormant

    When the bonus is used up, the face keeps its own value.

  • Mirror

    After copying another die, the face gets its own value and upgrades back.

  • Pulse

    Setting off Dormant a second time leaves Dormant's bonus in place.

  • Momentum

    Two Momentum faces showing each give their own bonus on a strike.

  • In hard mode, the shop shows the right health for your next enemy.
  • Fast animations now speed up boss fights too.
