The shop update has been very fun and the game feels like it's on the right track. However, Cruciball 15 feels virtually impossible unless you get Orboros or some other crazy single-target synergy very early. I only managed to clear Cruciball 12-15 by having Orboros in each run. I also think some of the boards need to be redesigned.

Take the Act 1 slime elite for example. It's hard to average more than 10 pegs per shot, which almost never clears through the ~1000 hp spread across the slimes. Also, the new Act 3 boss is so much harder than the QR code boss. The mine sweeper theme is cool, but the board that is left after you clear the boxes does not have enough pegs, especially when it's spawning time-bomb enemies every turn.

Cruciball also ruins a lot of relics, mainly anything bomb related. -15 damage on bombs makes bomb synergies useless until you get 4 or 5 of the important pieces, which just isn't worth going for.

Lastly, there's a way to cheat events and fights. Just quitting to menu and returning to the run will bring you back to the start of the encounter, and the RNG for orb order and events changes. Slay the Spire has a similar issue, but the RNG remains the same when you return.

Enjoyable combat and turn system. Probably gonna find some friends to co-op with :)
