  Grace Period Combat Buff and Late-Game Balancing

  Your Voice Matters!Friendly reminder to drop us a review! Whether you recommend the game or not, whether its paragraphs long or just a single letter, any kind of feedback helps us keeps the development momentum going. Thank you for being part of this journey!UPDATE 2026.7.14Unlocked Combat During Grace PeriodOffense is the Best Defense: You can now shoot and spawn trails freely while in your grace period! We originally restricted this to prevent players from becoming immortal and deadly at the same time. Now that grace period refreshing has been removed, you can safely use your invincibility windows to aggressively fight back.XP Economy & Drop ReworkTo prevent the screen from becoming absolutely flooded with gems during late-game runs, we have completely changed how experience drops scale:Regular Enemies: Instead of dropping chunks of experience worth a quarter of your player level, all regular enemies will now drop a flat 1 XP orb. This keeps the scaling tight and challenging during long runs.Boss Rewards: Bosses remain highly lucrative. They will continue to drop Point Orbs equal to half of your player level, and these Point Orbs will now also grant XP to the player upon pickup.Survivability & Weapon BalancingWe are continuing to fine-tune the numbers to keep the danger real:Stat Scaling Nerf: Decreased both the Max Health and Max Armor augment multipliers from 50% to 25% to prevent players from easily turning into unstoppable tanks.Mola Shrinkage: Decreased the base size of the Mola weapon from 1.0 to 0.75.Boss AI RefinementIntelligent Aggression: Bosses that do not screen-wrap will now turn and face the player when they hit the screen border, rather than automatically resetting to face the center of the screen. Watch out for their repositioning!UI & Content HousekeepingSkill Reminder Removed: Removed the Skill Tree reminder from the Game Over screen since the progression system is currently disabled.Tips Temporarily Disabled: Removed the random loading tips for ...

  The Freedom Update: Unlocked Pool, Currency Rework, and Core Fixes

  Your Voice Matters!Friendly reminder to drop us a review! Whether you recommend the game or not, whether its paragraphs long or just a single letter, any kind of feedback helps us keeps the development momentum going. Thank you for being part of this journey!UPDATE 2026.6.17Complete Freedom: The Skill Tree Removed!Based on your feedback, we've made a massive structural change to the game loop. Many players felt the skill tree progression system discouraged experimentation, forcing you into the same repetitive builds run after run just to progress.All Augments Unlocked: The meta-progression tree is gone! For the time being, every single augment and ability is unlocked for all players from run one.Pure Discovery: You can now hunt for wild, unexpected builds on the fly, bringing back a genuine sense of roguelike discovery to every single match.Currency & Economy StreamliningWith the skill tree gone, "Upgrade Points" are history. We have streamlined the entire mid-run economy around a single resource: Points.Reroll Points Overhaul: "Reroll Points" are now simply called Points.Orb Update: Any dropped Upgrade Point Orbs in the arena will now grant you Points instead.Flat-Rate Banning: Banning an augment now costs a flat 3 Points. The cost no longer scales or builds up, making it much easier to curate your deck!Skipping Buff: Skipping an augment selection now awards you +5 Points (up from +3), giving you a stronger economic backup plan.Reroll Cost: Rerolling your choices remains at a flat 1 Point.Survivability AdjustmentsNo More Infinite Grace: Refreshing your grace period while it is already active has been deactivated. Only the very first hit taken when you do not have a grace period will trigger the invincibility window. This nerf was absolutely necessary, as grace-period stacking builds were still letting players achieve total immortality.Guaranteed Armor: Armor Orbs now grant a guaranteed minimum of 25 armor, ensuring they remain highly valuable even when your maximum...
