Version 0.6.5 Hotfix for ThunderShield, BackSpinKick, LightSpeedAttack, LevelUp, and HotRod

Thank you Zu for pointing out these bugs!

QoL: Lowered volume for some sounds.

Back Spin Kick - This card is based off Eviscerate. If you attack and then draw Back Spin Kick, the cost should be based on attacks played this turn rather than after it was drawn. Incredibly strong card.
Hot Rod - text says "After this card is drawn"
Insta Shield - 4(6) -> 3(5) on everything, but cost is now 1 -> 0
Level Up - text says "last card you played THIS COMBAT"
Level Up - fixed the tooltip to say 1 instead of 2
Level Up - Tinkered so that it should be more accurate for this combat. Fingers crossed.
Light Speed Attack - Should no longer target dead enemies
Light Speed Attack - Nerf 8(9) -> 7(9) damage
Nice Smile - Nerf 3(2) extra Vigor to 3(1) extra Vigor
Thunder Shield - Cost is now 2
Thunder Shield - If you stack this power, Rings should trigger Lightning for each stack
Thunder Shield - Power tooltip should accurately reflect this

Balance ideas for later:
- Considering Turbulence to cost 3 instead of 2.
- Thunder Shield is doing so much every turn. I hate it lol. The math scales with this card so hard. +1 Dex, +1 Lightning, Evoke what's already there, +1 Passive effect. But it has very strong anti-synergy for other things, like other Orbs and card draw. Idk what I'm going to do w/ this card.

Version 0.6.4 Standard audio, Huge Nerf to LevelUp and ThunderShield.

Act 1 Buff
The Hedgehog now starts with 4 Strikes, 5 Defends, 1 Homing Attack. It was originally 5 Strikes, 5 Defends, 1 Homing Attack.

QoL
Standardized the audio volume
Got rid of taunt sounds. I hope to replace them soon.

Assist - Changed the description to say "Get a random FRIEND card".
Blue Tornado - Base no longer gives Ring. Upgrade now branches with ring or trick.
Bounce Pad - 6 -> 7 Block.
Dash Panel - Some cards have been tagged as Anti Dash and will glow red when hovering over Dash Panel. Maybe I will fix this later. Maybe not. Upgraded GrindRail, Athleticism, Crouch, CuteCouple, FalconPunch, PeelOut, upgraded Turbulence, Windmill
Grind Rail - adjacent cards should be less buggy.
Hot Rod - Previews work now. Now only has 4 cards to cycle rather than 5.
Level Up - now a power instead of a skill, and only powers up Rings by 1.
Level Up - text description now changes w/ image based on last card played.
Light Speed Attack - Does one less hit.
Sonic Wave - Base card channels Lightning. Upgrade adds 3 damage.
Speed Break - Is now a complete rip off from Bullet Time until I can think of something better.
Spin Dash - 12 dmg -> 15 damage. Reason: I want it to be better than Homing Attack.
Super Sonic is now Special. (Should NOT be found in card rewards)
Thunder Shield - Reworked hard.
- Originally, Thunder Shield channeled Lightning at the end of every turn for every Ring you have. Typically, it dealt 40 damage for having 5 Rings. Your damage solution was 70% solved with a 2 cost card. Absurd.

- Now, Thunder Shield will grant your Rings the ability to activate the passive effect of Lightning Orbs. And gives you one Ring and channels one Lightning every turn. It's less effective, but more accurate to how Thunder Shields work in Sonic games.
Triple Kick - All kicks do 7 damage. They give 3 strength per kick. Less math.
