Major Update: Meta Progression & Overhaul

• New Armoury System – Unlock weapons, tools, and permanent upgrades using meta currency earned in runs. Some early content is now progression-gated to ease onboarding.

• New level – A ending act for the rebel faction has been added.

• More Bosses – From feedback, 1 additional boss encounter will be required to complete a level, increasing the standard run time to 15 mins, but this brings with it new Endless bosses & some more engaging fights.

• New Boss Mechanics – Boss fights now feature expanded behaviors and more challenge.

• Enemy Updates – Some common foes are now sporting some new weapons to shake up the battlefield.

• Boss Loot Weapons – Defeat bosses to unlock powerful, unique weapons.

UI / Controls

• Complete UI overhaul

  • A new look n' feel has been applied consistently across the game.

  • The game screen layout has also been changed to better show off your equipped weapons in loot interfaces.

• Additional controller support added.

  • A keybinds prompt has been added to the bottom of the screen while the game is paused. this is for both Keyboard & controller.

  • Its not at a stage of "full controller support" yet, but we will continue to work to this point. but most menu/gameplay flows are now fully supported. Some elements like options/submenus are still in progress.

Performance

• General Performance improvements to enemy path finding and large swarms

Notes

This update introduces foundational systems for long-term progression and build variety. More content and expansions to the Armoury system are planned in future updates.
