However, this has revealed an unexpected issue: after Night 80, the spawn rate mechanics caused fewer enemies to appear, unintentionally decreasing the difficulty instead of increasing it.
changedWhat’s Changed:Minimum Spawn Period : Enemies will now spawn at highest every 0.5 seconds. Night 51+ Adjustments : Enemies won’t spawn faster after Night 51 but will increase in difficulty by scaling hp. HP Scaling : Starting from Night 51, enemy HP will increase by 5 each night. These changes ensure the game remains challenging after Night 51.
addedHighscore Updates:We know how much your highscores mean to you and the community. Removing all highscores would be unfair to those who worked hard to achieve them, but leaving unreachable scores up could demoralize new challengers.
addedHere’s our solution:Highscore Adjustment Offer: If you have a highscore above 55 nights and there’s no highscore above yours that’s under 55 nights, you can request us to delete your highscore. As a token of our gratitude, we’ll reward you with a unique Discord title for your contribution to keeping the leaderboards fair and competitive.
