September Update v0.03 - Buff Cards

Hi everybody!

I am happy to announce, that a new type of card has arrived: the "Buff Card". A staple of many digital deckbuilders, these cards have lasting effects on the level after playing them and are then unplayable for the rest of the level (exhausted). For some reason I still don't fully understand, these gave me quite a hard time when saving/loading a current run. I manage to fix the problems though, somehow.

In the future these cards will also be stackable, like the sphere-changer cards - but that will have to wait for a future update.

Otherwise, our lovely artist made new sprites and animations for many of the attacks, and we introduce a new enemy: the "Stone Golem". See for yourself what it does in-game.
