🔧 New Controls & Hotkeys

  • Added hotkeys for Pause Menu: 'P'

  • Added hotkeys '1' and '2' to change game speed on the fly

  • Added keyboard icons to the Pause Menu and Speed UI for better clarity

  • Reworked the main HUD: now displays a running icon under 'W' to make sprinting visually obvious

⚔️ Axe Attack Fixes

  • Resolved a bug where the axe attack [Spacebar] wouldn’t trigger on first press

  • Now it's reliable and consistent

🧩 UI Improvements & Feedback Clarity

  • Stat popups after gates now display precise values including decimals (e.g. +1.5 Bullet Range)

  • Added a new widget that shows exact loot from destructibles (crates) — you’ll now know what you picked up immediately

🪨 Mine Interaction Tutorial

  • A short tutorial prompt now appears in the first cave, telling players that gems and ore veins must be destroyed with the axe

  • Tooltip on gems updated to include that information too

🎯 Auto Aim Adjustments

  • Machine Gun's Auto-Aim now prioritizes bosses if they are in range, ignoring barriers or regular enemies when possible

🐞 Plus: Bug Fixes & Stability

  • We also crushed a bunch of small bugs, including:

  • UI click focus issues (clicks now register properly)

  • Entity misbehaviors (e.g. Rush Injector is now stable)

  • Minor performance boosts and better control responsiveness

💬 All Thanks to You

  • This update is 100% based on community ideas and reports. Keep posting, keep suggesting — your input is shaping the wasteland.

See you out there, hover-runners. — Wacky West Dev Team
