Deck Fury v1.5.0-alpha Patch Notes

----New Feature - Focus Mode----

This week's update comes with a very exciting new feature that I've been working on: Focus Mode!

(Apologies for the somewhat low quality gifs - I had to shrink and compress the hell out of them in order to stay within the 3mb limit, but hopefully they get the point across)

Now, if you couldn't tell from the gifs, Focus Mode is a new mechanic added to the game which allows you to freeze time, while you the player is able to move and act at full speed. This ability is always available at the start of a stage but once used, you must recharge it by either killing enemies or opening up the card select menu, which restores 25% of your Focus.

As you might be able to imagine, Focus Mode opens up a whole new set of ways to kill your enemies in stylish and flashy ways, either by using it to burst down a single strong enemy by unleashing a massive barrage in stopped time, or by killing a number of weaker enemies in quick succession.

You do have use your Focus Mode carefully however - you have a limited number of actions you can take while in Focus Mode as well as a limited amount of time (10 seconds) to take those actions before Focus Mode expires. Think carefully about how you want to use your Focus Mode before you activate it in order to get the most value out of it.

New Item: Focus Ring

• Increases the number of actions you can take whilst in Focus Mode by +2.

UI and Visual Updates

The stage selection screen has gotten a bit of a makeover, such it doesn't look completely like placeholder stuff (though it still is more or less placeholder art).

Also added an item panel to the stage selection screen so now you can see what items you have without needing to go into a stage.
