GAMEPLAY

- Adjusted Piledriver damage curve, deals more damage with small height increases and less damage at absurd velocities. - Bosses now always take double the base damage of piledriver impacts. (They're treated as having a weight of 2, regardless of their actual weight.) - Attempting to grab a non-staggered boss now adds stagger onto them. - Point blank throws and point blank knockback collisions should now actually deal damage. - Piledriver damage now scales by enemy weight. - Piledriver can now cause collateral damage.

- The first floor of each world no longer has a Nail. (Mag note: Getting 16 skillcards each run often resulted in getting relatively similar sets of cards on most runs when playing similar sets of deck colors, which made builds feel a lil similar. And with that many bonuses active, all of them couldn't get too much power budget or focus. Let's see how it feels with less cards and a bit more kick per card?)
