Shattered Pixel Dungeon’s next major update will be going to beta early this coming week.

Here’s one more new thing coming in v2.5: new cursed wand effects! I’m adding 16 new effects, ranging from simple bubbles to a rare but extreme supernova explosion! The bubbles are harmless but you really, really want to avoid the explosion.
