Love it so far! Decided to try on mobile for fun and found a lil bug at small breakpoint. Ability cards are overflowing at smaller breakpoints (390px), making them hard to read. 

-Device Safari iOS 

-possible fix: allow the cards to grow, set a max-height on the container holding the cards and set to overflow: scroll;  

thanks so much for the detailed bug report!! i've been neglecting mobile support as i've been focusing on the desktop build (steam page coming soon!) but i will address this for sure!

Game freezes in Firefox after a couple of seconds :( Tons of "Uncaught Error: param must be an AudioParam" in console

Orb magnet upgrade seems to break the game for me. :(

thanks for the report, will look into it

should be fixed now!
