New Update: Build Stats System

A new system has been introduced to Tenvader — Build Stats.

Each stat now does more than just increase numbers. They define how you play.

🧩 Stat-Based Builds

Your highest stats determine your build. Each one unlocks a unique gameplay mechanic:

• Overheat Drive (Damage) Shooting builds heat. Higher heat increases damage, but overheating disables firing.

• Hit & Run (Speed) You deal damage only while moving.

• Ramping Fire (Attack Speed) Continuous firing gradually increases your attack speed.

• Phase Barrier (Dodge) Successfully dodging creates a temporary field that blocks incoming bullets.

• Volatile Core (Core) Every 10% HP lost spawns a bomb. Shoot bombs to detonate and damage enemies.

• Critical Burst (Crit) Dealing damage builds a meter. When full, your next shot triggers a powerful explosion.

• Supply Cache (Recovery) Recover health using limited healing resources during combat.

• Damage Shift (Armor) Incoming damage is altered, changing how your ship withstands hits.

🎯 Play Your Own Way

Each stat changes the rules of combat:

• Push your limits with Overheat

• Stay in motion with Hit & Run

• Control space with Phase Barrier

• Turn damage into opportunity with Volatile Core

Every run now feels different based on how you build your ship.

⚙️ Design Goal

This system is designed to:

• Make builds more meaningful

• Create distinct playstyles

• Add depth without adding complexity

More updates and refinements will continue based on your feedback.
