--1.9.9-- Update

--Game Modes--

- Crystal Tower mode added!

  - This mode will be accessible from the main menu. Crystal Tower mode is a 

    roguelite version of Braver that is still in development. You will have

    access to 20 floors of content at this time and we are counting on your 

    feedback to help make this mode a winner!

  - Details: Each run will have you attempting to climb to the top of the 

    Crystal Tower. If you are defeated, no progress will be saved. You can

    currently return to the lobby at designated floors. This will reset your

    progress but allow you to maintain certain items that will help in your

    next run. In addition, after progressing to certain points in the tower,

    your starting inventory and starting shop will be upgraded to aid in your

    next run. Certain functionality in this mode is still in development.
