Gameplay Adjustments
"Click the Wizard" Mechanic: This mini-game now consumes Crystals per click for balance reasons. Players can toggle the wizard between active and paused states. The game will remember the wizard's state after closing and reopening.
- Offline Gains SystemFixed an issue where earnings gained while offline did not affect Time Crystal (Respect) systems or weapon progression.
- Item Purchase InterfaceCompletely redesigned for compactness and ease of use. Scrolling between weapons is now smoother and faster due to improved scroll ratios.
- Gold Buff CalculationsResolved issues with gold buff stats not displaying correctly in player statistics.
Bug Fixes
- Error Message SpamFixed a bug where holding the purchase button would flood the UI with error messages each tick. Now, warnings are displayed at 1-second intervals.
- Skeleton Upgrades DisplayAddressed an issue where skeleton upgrade labels would disappear after a game reset.
- Skeleton Health & Name BugFixed a performance issue that caused skeleton names and health bars to render inconsistently or appear empty.
- Lightning Wizard & Spawner FontsText formatting and fonts for these entities have been corrected.
- Weapon Level Scaling BugFixed a bug that prevented level scaling based on weapon level after a timeline reset (Respect system).
New Features
- AchievementsAchievements have been added to the game for additional progression tracking.
2D Mode Background Behavior: Players can now choose whether resource protection in 2D mode continues while the game runs in the background.
- Item Research SystemFully implemented and accessible for 1000 Chaos Crystals. Players can research and craft new items or upgrades from scratch using this system. Each crafted item increases the research cost, but mastery levels reduce the required production points. Only one research can be active at a time, and progress is only made while the game is open.
Update Info Menu: A dedicated in-game menu now provides details about the latest updates and changes.
