Update 1.2.0 - Format & Drive Upgrades

Format System (Second Prestige)

A new prestige layer. Reset your tapes for Drives - a permanent currency that persists through everything. The nuclear option for your download farm.

• Calculates the max you can afford in one click. No maths required.

• 15 Drive upgrades across 3 tiers. You'll have to earn them to see what they do.

• Each format permanently boosts your click power and file value.

• A 16th generator exists now. Somewhere. Behind a lock.

Defrag Mini-Game

There's another tab. Something to do with organising your hard drive. Unlocks after a few prestiges. 45 seconds. Do well enough and your downloads speed up. That's all you're getting.

• Colourblind friendly. Letters on everything.

• Groups flash when you make a good swap. Score popups so you know it worked.

Stray Packets

Random network packets drift across your screen every minute or two. Click them for free stuff. Speed boosts, bonus bytes, or tapes. Ignore them if you want. They'll fade away. They always do.

• Three types. Colour coded. You'll figure it out.

• They make a sound when they appear. You'll learn to listen for it.

• Clicking one shows what you got.

• Controller supported. Press Y.

Achievements Tab

Browse all 80 achievements in a proper grid. Icons and everything. Unlocked ones show their details. Locked ones show "???". Hidden ones show even less.

• 17 new achievements. Some are obvious. Some are not.

• Reward bonuses visible on locked cards so you know what you're chasing.

Automation Tab

New tab for managing your automation systems. Toggle things on and off. Everything's disabled by default when purchased - we're not monsters.

• Tab shows ??? until you have something to automate.

• Auto-clicker toggle syncs with the big AUTO button now.

Seasonal Content

It's April. Some files look different. Some have a .egg extension. April 1st is... different.

Steam Leaderboards

Your scores are now being tracked. Highest BPS, total bytes, tapes earned, scanner streak, formats, and defrag scores. View rankings in-game via Stats > Leaderboards, or on the Steam community page.

New Events

11 new events (74 total). Blue Screen, Lag Spike, and one that's just "Loading..."

More Filenames

37 new download filenames (246 total). The angry email draft trilogy is in there somewhere.

Polish

• Generators show a "NEW" badge when they become affordable for the first time.

• HDD bar goes green to yellow to red as it fills.

• Download progress bars colour-coded by file type.

• Bytes counter smoothly counts up instead of jumping.

• Tapes earned tick up like a slot machine after prestige.

• Generator rows glow when purchased.

• Scanner: infected files have a subtle glitch animation.

• Scanner: quarantine sound pitch increases with streak.

• Active effects pulse gently in the stats bar.

• Stray packets drift slowly across the screen.

• Achievement bonus tooltips explain what each bonus type does.

• Rewrote tutorial hints and ~40 achievement descriptions. Drier now.

Secrets

There are some. We're not telling you what they are.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: Cloud Singularity (infinite storage) wasn't actually infinite. It is now. Sorry about that.

• Fixed: "Welcome Back" offline progress popup never actually showed. It does now.

• Fixed: Auto button stayed visible after formatting.

• Tape scaling rebalanced. Endgame players earn more tapes per prestige.

• Format cost scaling reduced from 2x to 1.5x. Endgame is challenging, not impossible.

Other

• "What's New" popup on first launch after updating.

• Archive and Format dialogs update live. No more stale numbers.

• HDD_FULL indicator on the BPS display.

• Download bars no longer stretch based on filename length.

• British spellings throughout. We're not American.

• Save version updated. Old saves load fine.
