Update 2: Storms

Update 2: Storms

Hey everyone! I'm back with another large update to SnapJack. This update focuses primarily on fixing issues with the gameplay loop and it being a bit boring previously. By introducing storms and another challenge for players to contend with the aim is to force constant changing of cards in hand and some more build crafting. As part of the next update I want to introduce more for build crafting and encouraging smart item buys.
