  This update includes a UI cleanup pass for Threat Intel and a full gameplay/readability pass for Ancient Relay. Threat Intel now uses a cleaner collapsible HUD tab with better sizing, clearer colors, improved interaction, and expanded enemy spawn forecasting.

The relay zone is also kept clearer by pushing nearby asteroids away. Highlights: Reworked Threat Intel into a cleaner collapsible HUD tab Improved Threat Intel readability, sizing, hover behavior, and localized labels Expanded enemy spawn forecasting with predicted ship counts Ancient Relay attackers now spawn from offscreen and commit properly to the objective Ancient Relay waves now use cleaner staggered pressure and scaling Relay attackers now hold a visible strike orbit instead of piling underneath the relay Relay attack behavior now matches the visible attack band more closely Nearby asteroids are pushed away from the relay zone for better readability Enemy facing and exhaust trails now stay aligned during relay attacks

  Update 1.5.0 – Improvements, Accessibility & Progression Overhaul

  This update focuses on improving clarity, accessibility, and late-game depth, alongside a broad round of polish across the entire experience. The tutorial and guidance systems have been refined to behave more reliably across different screen sizes and states. First-run and post-tutorial flows now scale correctly, guidance highlights no longer point to incorrect HUD elements, and upgrade steps accurately direct players to the Pickaxe, Drones, and Ads Network. Some brittle UI-dependent steps have been replaced with clearer instruction-based guidance, and off-screen upgrades now use a subtle animated scroll cue that only appears when needed. Accessibility has been expanded with the addition of colorblind and color-vision options in the Settings. These improvements have been applied across gameplay, menus, asteroids, and visual effects, ensuring better clarity without compromising the overall visual style. Localization support has been extended with the addition of German, Spanish, and French. Translation coverage has also been improved across menus and in-game overlays to provide a more consistent experience for non-English players. The upgrades and progression flow has been reworked since the 1.4.2 release, with expanded more late-game progression, increased caps on key upgrades, clearer maxed states, and a cleaner separation between Upgrades, Arsenal, and Rebirth systems. Performance has been improved, particularly in late-game scenarios, with optimizations to asteroid systems and UI rendering. This results in smoother gameplay, higher frame rates during heavier runs, and reduced frame drops in more demanding situations. Settings handling has been cleaned up, with improved VSync behavior and more reliable persistence across sessions. Finally, a wide range of UI and presentation improvements have been made, including cleaner panel layouts, improved spacing, better loading visuals, and overall readability enhancements across the game.
