Hi folks,

Changes:

  • Faster idle mode restart

  • Toggle idle mode during rounds

  • Scene transitions are quicker and hitch less

  • Hold button is quicker

  • Clicking a skill auto unlocks the requisite skills

  • Hold left mouse to swipe through the skill tree to unlock them

  • Music is randomised instead of restarted on reload

  • Pan the skill tree by mousing over the screen edge

  • Pan the skill tree with middle mouse click or keyboard arrow keys

  • Level select screen doesn't automatically scroll to the last unlocked level

  • Back button goes to the last screen you were on

  • You can spend corium any time

  • Reduced the prestige milestone requirements

Fixes:

  • Ending audio will follow volume slider

  • Switching scenes while in idle mode doesn't auto start a new round
