Deep runs no longer drag

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 14:38:56 GMT

Late-game fights were turning into damage sponges. Not anymore. Enemy health now grows more gently past level 30 — a level 45 fight that used to take over half a minute now wraps up in about ten sec...

Three-lane fights play fair now

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 06:34:48 GMT

A fix for the late-game moments where a hit felt unavoidable. Once fights open up to three lanes, the enemy sometimes fires a wall — a volley covering every lane but one. Playtesters reported stretc...

Deeper runs now open up a third lane

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 10:50:18 GMT

If your runs reach level 21, the track gets wider — and less forgiving. A third lane opens up at level 21. Gates, enemies and projectiles all use the full width from there on. Walls with a gap. Some...

Readability & pacing polish

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 21:15:11 GMT

A few small quality-of-life fixes so you can actually see what's happening. The enemy preview screen is now cleaner — just the sprite and its stats, no health bar. On defeat, the Restart button now...

Four new cards & smarter offers

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:05:15 GMT

Four fresh power-ups join the pool, and the card offers got smarter. Slow down! — makes the enemy fire less often, giving you room to breathe in the tougher fights Be Positive! — clears out all ne...

More forgiving dodges

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 08:28:31 GMT

Dodging just got a little more forgiving. Enemy projectiles now only connect on their lower half — slipping to the safe side a hair late no longer clips you once the shot has almost passed. Think...

Late-game attack cards & sharper choices

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 17:01:29 GMT

Two new attack cards for the late game, and card picks that always give you a real choice. New attack cards — Warblade (+25%) and Executioner (+50%) — show up deeper into a run. They scale off you...

Forge — a new upgrade card, plus smarter maxed stats

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 15:37:30 GMT

A new card to shape your gates, and stats that stop wasting your picks. New card — Forge: permanently makes Attack gates show up more often. Take it again to level it up (Forge Lv 2, Lv 3…), stack...

Health rules update

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 19:31:25 GMT

Two small changes to how health works. Max HP pickups (gates and cards) now raise only your maximum health — they no longer refill your current HP. Healing comes from heal gates and cards. If a nega...

New card: Feather Fall

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 12:44:06 GMT

A new card to tame the fast late-game gates. Feather Fall — a new card that slows the falling gates, giving you more time to read them and pick the stat you want. It shows up in the late game, once...

Balance pass: enemies with teeth

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:19:44 GMT

This update is all about difficulty. The game leaned too easy - once your build got rolling, nothing could really threaten you and fights were over before they started. This pass puts the pressure bac...

Crit rebalance, tougher enemies, a fairer curve

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 17:31:04 GMT

A big batch of changes has landed since the last public build - most of it aimed at making fights feel fair and readable the deeper you push. Combat & difficulty Reworked enemy scaling. Enemy stats no...

Power-ups arrive on the cards

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 21:06:26 GMT

Last update added a choice of 3 cards after each win, but back then they only nudged your stats. Now, the cards hold real power-ups that change how you fight: Lifesteal — heal for a share of the dam...

Added cards after winning a battle

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 12:31:57 GMT

Previously, the game only featured falling gates for stats. Now there's another way to manipulate stats: choice between 3 cards after winning a battle. In the future, those choices will hold power-ups...
