Apologies for the long delay! Things are back in the saddle --- here's an update of accreted features / bugfixes from all the awesome launch month feedback (notably, a rudimentary search bar where you can type in keywords and it will filter your powers / prestige classes)

There are also new enemies and several "reactive" enemy traits distributed amongst existing enemies, along with rebalancing of some game mechanics and a general rework of items that redeal one damage type as another

General

• can now search for text (such as "on hit" / "fire" / "summon" etc) to highlight relevant powers in the powers and Prestige Class menus (this will later be expanded to the start menu)
  
• added "wide log" option, creates a larger left-aligned message log at the bottom of the screen
  
• repeated messages condensed to x2 / x3 etc if identical to previous
  
• "attack" and "hit" messages added to the log, to better show the sequence of combat events
  
• the Log screen now shows current highest damage and total game turns
  
• game now tracks total game turns, shows up in the score screen, will add an achievement for this once a better idea of "fast" is determined
  
• added a flashing animation to enemies in higher cycles that have received a Hit bonus
  
• the player gains an initial HP bonus based on the cycle # (to somewhat alleviate the level 1 unfairness of higher cycles)
  
• total cycles increased to 24
  
• several new background colors added
  
• fixed the infamous Fire Healing exponential Scorch application bug
