Thanks for the feedback I guess.
Maybe one day I have the money or time to replace the art, but currently I don't, so take it or leave it. You can also play it for free even though I spent 100s hours of work on it, but don't worry about thanking me ;)
The balancing is an ongoing process and the game is still in development. My latest survey told me that it is not too difficult though (50% win every couple games, for 25% it was too easy and for 25% too hard). So you probably just need to get better instead of whining here for balance. I'm planning to implement a difficulty setting though, so feel free to replay it then. And it's also the first time where someone is assuming I didn't play Slay the Spire, funny. There will be more relics, but as solo dev, everything takes time. Relics that give you 1 Mana, NEED a strong debuff, because they give a huge advantage. They might never be available in stage 1 because of their strength. But I don't think you know how hard balancing is and I feel like you just want it to be easier, so just wait for the difficulty settings.
