The winter holiday update for Letter Quest is here!

Joining Grimm and Rose on their journey is St. Nick! He's got more armor (damage reduction) and a cool new weapon that's all wrapped up for the holidays!

Changes:

• New character, St. Nick!
  
• New weapon, St. Nick's scythe, that increases gems earned from defeated monsters
  
• New weapon, the Light-Scythe, that reduces damage taken
  
• Several book effects have been increased so that they are more useful
  
• Weapon effects have been changed to be better balanced
  
• Weapon upgrade costs reduced
  
• Upgrade costs reduced
  
• Potion costs reduced to 100 gems per potion (were 250 before)
  
• Several balancing changes based on player feedback
  
• Several efficiency improvements to keep everything running smoothly even on modest hardware
  
• Several small animation tweaks for Grimm and Rose
  
• Over 200 more new words added to the dictionary
  
• Steam achievements now synced when import a save file into the game (from either an old version of the game, or from the demo)
  

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the definitions of several more words
  
• Fixed up some slight inconsistencies in some tutorial text
  
• Several tiny bug fixes - thank you to everyone that helped me find and fix these!
  

That's it for this update!

The Bacon Bandits (all two of us!) want to wish everyone a happy, safe, and relaxing winter holiday!
