Alpha v0.3.5 Released


Fleshing out the game a little bit before I take a pause from regular updates to work on 0.4. 

It'll be an interesting challenge balancing everything since all the pieces of the game interact -- for example, I've made a bunch of enemies gain Block to increase the value of block-stealing and block-breaking cards. 

I'll try to have Mac and Linux builds up soon too!
