📣 Acting on Your Feedback

• Controls guide added — see the keys for move, dash, warrior select, zoom, and pause at a glance (for the "I wasn't sure what to do" feedback)

• Richer draft cards — level-up cards now preview your stat gains, and a detail button shows full info

• Guaranteed warrior in drafts — at least one warrior always appears among your choices (no more all-soldier draws)

• Bond-based deck-building — tap a bond card on the deck screen to add all its members at once

• Wider pickup range — grab loot more easily

• Reworked early pacing — level-ups felt too frequent, so we smoothed out early-to-mid growth

• Fixed a name mistranslation — corrected a warrior's name that showed incorrectly in some languages

🆕 What's New

• Ranged ricochet — ranged attacks now bounce to nearby enemies on hit, chaining up to 3 times

• Unified, expanded settings — SFX volume, graphics quality, bond effects (use/complete split), and the info panel are all in one place

✨ Effects & Game Feel

• Heavy-hit feedback — taking big damage flashes the screen red with a brief freeze for added impact

• Stronger dash — dust and afterimages give the dash a real sense of speed

• Boss-kill payoff — rewards burst outward and XP gems pour out on a boss kill

• Cleaner effects — refined the fire-rain warning and reduced effect clutter at high levels

⚖️ Balance

• Reworked boss fights — more time before enrage (room to react); bosses have more HP but deal less damage

• Enemy & growth tuning — stronger early-to-mid enemies and adjusted pacing for a cleaner difficulty curve

• Stronger survivability — increased altar healing amount and the number of allies healed at once

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where some passives (nearby-ally buffs) weren't applying correctly

• Fixed stage-clear objectives that weren't registering under certain conditions

• Fixed enemies swarming toward a fallen warrior's gravestone

• The "disable screen shake" setting now applies to all shake effects

🎨 Visuals & More

• New terrain and objects added, updated warrior illustration

• Unified pause/result screen buttons, and refined the bond codex and HUD
