Major Update — Horde Rework

Orbit Breaker has been rebuilt from the ground up: combat, performance, and visuals. ■ New Horde Combat • Big-room battlefields (2.35x the screen) with a smooth tracking camera • Far more enemies on screen at once — a true horde • Enemies now spawn just beyond the view edge, so the fight stays in front of you • Removed interruption events (supply drops, encirclement) ■ Combo System • Kill combos that climb past 1,000 • +1% weapon damage per 50 combo (up to +20%) • Gold bonus every 100 combo, heal every 500 combo ■ Two New Skin Packs • Glass Prism: light-bending glass gem style • Star Crew: character-style core and crew enemies • All skins: shape-changing hit/low-health states, paired weapon & passive designs ■ Performance Overhaul • Eliminated late-game stutter completely • Smooth frame rate even at worst-case density (enemies and pickups at their caps) ■ Readability & Feel • Enemy projectiles stay visible on dark backgrounds (white-hot core + bright rim) • Camera keeps your core near the center of the screen • Screen shake is now a separate option (impact effects always stay on) • Larger base pickup radius, more pickups persist on the field ■ Balance • Hardcore boss HP raised significantly — bosses now show their patterns even against maxed builds • Late-game boss damage reduced 20–25%, enemy projectile damage reduced 12% • Gold economy rebalanced (late-game income normalized) • Stage-by-stage opening pressure differentiation ■ Misc • Original background music restored • Eclipse Core void barriers are 2.5x thicker and easier to read • Fixed HUD text overlaps • Save reliability hardened Feedback is always welcome on the community hub. Happy hunting!
