  • Operator Maw now drops a sellable egg if it is killed before completing its transformation.

  • Major UI pass across the entire flowMain Menu, submenus (new game, host, settings, etc.), Spectator screen, microphone selection screen, Anomaly Found UI, in-game pause menu, and lobby search screen.
  • Anomaly text readability has been improved and display durations have been standardized.

  • Legacy fonts have been replaced with more readable ones.

  • In-game pause menu now hides the main UI to reduce screen clutter.

  • Spectator screen darkening effect has been removed based on player feedback.

  • Fixed a rare critical bug and continue to monitor its occurrence.
