BUILD BY BUILD.
WHAT CHANGED.

Ship Select has a strip of ship cards and shows your Protocols on the same screen. Swipe the ship to change it.

Protocols stay hidden until you learn your first one. That Protocol then goes into your loadout.

The low hull warning starts earlier. A red screen edge, a heartbeat sound, and a HULL LOW label tell you that the next hits are dangerous.

Crates on the field now shine with loot beams. A Legendary Crate sends up a tall orange beam.

To reset your progress, you must now type RESET. This stops an accidental reset.

The results and reward screens now take on the look of the location you flew.

In Bellgrave, the gap in each bell ring now faces your ship. Two rings start at least 1 second apart.

Pallbearers now take less time to defeat, and no more than three can be alive at one time.

The shop helps early builds combine their weapons. Before a horde, it shows at least one weapon of Uncommon or better.

The Workshop slot menu shows what each combine makes. A recipe that you have not found stays hidden as “? ? ?”.

Each phase of a run gets a new music track with its own instruments and rhythm.

Game sound now plays when the ringer switch is on silent. Use the switches in Settings to mute music or sound effects.

At low health, the ship, the screen edge, and the health bar pulse. The pulse gets faster as your hull drops.

Level up has a bigger blast and a fuller chime.

Every button now shows when you press it.

Your first run can now offer Rare and Legendary items. New players start with 34 items, up from 15.

Waves 4 to 10 ramp up more slowly. The extra enemies that fill the screen no longer shoot.

Each wave now builds, peaks, and rests. Through wave 16, a wave can bring a new enemy type, and the wave card names it.

Missiles fly their own paths, sentries show their range, and the Tesla Coil zaps its target.

Weapons that shared art now have their own shots, beams, and hit effects.

Victories and secret goals now show in the list. A secret shows a silhouette until you find it.

You can move your ship while GET READY is on screen. Combat still waits for the launch cue.

Burn, Chill, and chain lightning are easier to see. The Fire Ball has a flame tail, and ice shots leave short trails.

The Ascension screen is now an orbital dial. Each level shows its star badge, threats, and rewards.

Records has a new design. A saved run opens as a full-screen flight report.

Level Up has new cards. You can check your current stats before you pick.

Every projectile weapon now aims ahead of a moving target. Sentries wait until an enemy is in range.

The HUD is rebuilt. Health has a wide bar across the top, and combat starts below the HUD. Each hit flashes your health red.

Wave rewards count up one row at a time, with coin sounds. One tap shows every result at once.

Ascension 2 to 5 now add 25% to 100% more enemy health and damage. Later waves also send more enemies.

New switches and volume sliders match the game. A photosensitivity warning shows at launch, and Reduce Motion stops the screen shake and decorative motion.

A green glow shows when an Abductor can give you a Wingman.

Stat details explain what each upgrade changes.

Ship and enemy artwork now follows the same style in menus and combat.

A new title screen and shared angled controls bring the menus together.

Shop controls use a consistent layout and explain why a purchase is not available.
