Final Notes

We’ll keep monitoring feedback and refining the game to ensure every run feels fun and consistent. There’s still a lot of work ahead, and we’re on it.

After updating the game, we STRONGLY recommend starting a new run. Previous saves may not reflect the changes correctly and could cause inconsistencies.
