This is a small update intended to fix what I felt were some issues with shrines. The duration of the temporary effects they provide has been greatly increased, as they always seemed to run out before they became useful. Having noticed some confusion about their "recipes", I've also made it to where all permutations of their holy numbers should yield decent results.

I'm also aware that its a little too easy to accidentally donate nothing. That will be addressed in the next patch.

There's also some significant bug fixes. There was a Buried City room that could let you skip ahead and potentially get soft locked. Aura Bolt had some issues with blocks. I finally fixed where text in the shop was getting covered by keyboard hints. I also intend to make it to where seeds don't get (quite as) messed up when new rooms are added.

Several new rooms!

Finally, the controls for co-op are significantly better. Thanks to Nintendrew for pointing out how crumby they were. I rarely play as the orb, and I guess no one had the heart to tell me :)

Expect more smaller updates like this until the end of April. More rooms, bug fixes, quality of life changes. After that I'll start working on more significant things like Alt Areas, New Bosses, More Traversal Stuff, Champions, etc.
