Alone in the Stars: Survivor changes

🧹 Settings & Save Data

Added "Delete Settings" and "Delete Save" buttons to the Gameplay tab of the settings menu.

Recommendation: With the controller and binding changes, we recommend deleting your settings once after updating. Your game save data should remain intact

🖥️ UI & Quality of Life

Stars Cost Visibility: Stars cost is now displayed across various UI screens without needing to hover Stats Panel Overhaul:

  • Added permanent labels over each stat (no more relying on tooltips!)

  • Moved SP cost to a text element for better clarity

  • Meditation UI: Now shows how many stars you have directly on the screen

Power-Up Select:

  • Reworked UI to show which power-ups you already have when choosing a new one

  • You can now toggle automatic power-up selection on level up — apply them when you want by pressing Tab (rebindable) on keyboard or Select on controllers

🎮 Controller & Input Updates

  • Controller Support: Full controller support for all menus! While keyboard and mouse may still be preferable for some, the game is now fully playable with a controller

  • Interact Key Rebinding: You can now rebind the Interact key, and the UI will update accordingly

  • HUD Update: Ability keys on the HUD will now reflect rebound keys correctly

  • Keymapping CleanupRemoved unused keybindings from the rebinding menu to keep things clean and clear

🛠️ Gameplay Improvements

  • Emotional Pop-ups: Now optional and defaulted to off, so they won’t block your aim unless you choose to enable them

  • Passive UnlocksRemoved "Buy with SP" from passives to make it clearer that you need to unlock them with stars first
  • Gun Reload Rate: Doubled the reload speed for unequipped guns when using the relevant passive

  • Blood Cloud FixFixed an issue where the blood cloud wouldn’t spawn consistently — it should now appear reliably when selected as a passive

🐛 Bug Fixes & Adjustments

✅ Fixed various minor bugs and visual issues ✅ Improved overall game stability and performance

Thank you for all the feedback and support — keep it coming! I hope you enjoy these improvements, and as always, let me know what you think ❤️
