New Game Mode: Challenges

I have added 5 distinct Challenge Modes to test your skills in new ways. Each challenge has unique rules and winning conditions:

  • Corn Road: Survive 20 turns where every single turn applies a random debuff.

  • Day Stalker (Boss Rush): Fight all Normal Bosses back-to-back, followed by one random Endgame Boss.

  • Night Prowler (Ultimate Gauntlet): The ultimate test. Fight every single boss in the game, one after another.

  • Weed Plants: Global Risk increase! All cards start with +25% Risk.

  • You Are DoneHardcore minimal run. You start with 2 cards and will never gain new ones.

New Feature: Screenshot Mode

Want to share your high scores without the UI clutter?

  • Added a"Hide UI"button to the Game Over / Victory screens.

  • This generates a clean "Postcard" view of your run stats, perfect for sharing screenshots.

Overhauled Game Over & Victory Screens
