* Touchups (QOL Changes) - Tweaked Logo to look slightly different (moved the "G" and "!" closer to other letters and connected them like in the actual logo from the full game) - Changed the face down decks to have their colors changed. The red used before was darker than the one on the shop and round screens. I color matched them from the full game. - I changed the borders of some Jokers to be white, like how they are in the full game. (Minor tweaks were made to them) *I tested them and it seems to not break anything sprite-wise* * Undo Joker Art Changes + Fix Logo - Added changes to Joker Borders - (Blue Joker has gray border to match the others, the only Joker with a different border is Blackboard) - Reverted "!" Point (It's two pixels closer to the other letters unlike the original)
