Advanced Info:
 - You can right-click items on the ground to pick them up instantly.
 - You can right-click potions in your inventory to drink them.
 - Status Effects with the same name do not stack.
    - But similar ones with different names, like "Regeneration I" and "Regeneration II", do.
 - Almost every 1-on-1 encounter with regular enemies should be winnable without taking damage.
    - Try to kite slow enemies, use the whip on fast ones, and use potions on fast & unflinching ones.
    - It's generally better to let enemies approach you than it is to approach them (use Skip Turn for this). 
 - Attack and HP on Kill are the best item stats, followed by Defense and Vitality.
 - If you have X attack, and the opponent has Y defense, you'll always deal at least (X-Y) damage to them.
 
 
Super Advanced Info:
 - Damage is calculated like this (it's somewhat similar to the board game "Risk"):
    - Attacker rolls X D6s, and the defender rolls Y D4s (for their respective ATT and DEF stats).
    - The defender can "block" any of the attacker's dice rolls with one of their own dice with >= value.
    - The defender will block as many dice as they possibly can.
    - The number of unblocked dice is the damage dealt.
        - For example, if the rolls are like this:
            Attacker: [1] [6] [3] [3]   Defender: [2] [2] [4]
        - Then 2 damage will be dealt because the attacker's [1] and [3] rolls can be blocked.
        
 - The most important stat on an enemy is its speed, and it's a good idea to check it before you start fighting.
    - Your base speed is 4, and it can be modified by potions and status effects.
    - If your current speed is X, and the enemies speed is Y, you'll be able to take X actions for every Y of theirs.
    - Examples:
        - If your speed is 4, and the enemy's is 2, it means you'll act exactly twice as often as they do.
        - If your speed is equal to the enemy's, your turns will alternate.
        - If the enemy is faster than you, they'll effectively "double hit" every few turns, depending on how much faster.
    - It's often useful to get "in sync" with an enemy's turn pattern by skipping your turn or stepping away.
    
 
Version Info:
  Platform: Windows (64bit)
  Game Version: 1.0.5-BETA

Launch Instructions:
  Just double click the launcher after unzipping this directory.
  
  Save data will (likely) be stored in one of these locations:
    Mac OS X:    ~/Library/Application Support/Skeletris
    Unix:        ~/.local/share/Skeletris
    Win XP:      C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Ghast\Skeletris
    Win 7+:      C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Ghast\Skeletris
    
  If you'd prefer to have save data live in this directory instead, you can create 
  a text file named "put_save_data_here.txt" right next to this one. If the game sees 
  a file with that name when it's launching, it will put all its save data here instead.
  
  On Windows 8.1 and onwards, when you launch the game it may show a warning like:
    "Windows protected your PC - Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an 
    unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk."
    
  You can bypass this by clicking "more info" -> "Run Anyway" in the Windows popup.
    
  This happens because I don't have a digital certificate, because they're quite 
  expensive. That being said, https://ghastly.itch.io/skeletris is the ONLY official 
  distribution channel for this game. If you got this file from somewhere else, you 
  should probably re-download it from that link.
