This update focuses on making combat feel more fluid, rewarding your runs more generously, and cleaning up some temporal anomalies (bugs) that were cluttering the experience.
Visuals & Effects
New Death Effects: Added brand-new explosion effects when enemies are defeated.
Clarity: Added "Ability Full" indicators to the player character so you know exactly when you're ready to unleash hell.
Missile Trails: Redesigned missile smoke trails to be significantly more visible (and fixed the blurriness).
Projectile Visibility: Slightly adjusted enemy projectiles to ensure they stand out against the environment.
Combat & Gameplay Balancing
Primary Attack Overhaul:
Increased fire rate by 66%.
Decreased damage per hit by 33%.
Developer Note: This makes the primary weapon feel much more responsive and "rhythm-heavy" without losing its punch.
Player Survivability: Lowered the damage the player takes from all sources by 20%.
Enemy Projectiles: Reduced enemy projectile speed by 50% to give you more room for tactical movement.

Bug Fixes
Cross-Platform Fixes: Fixed a bug on Linux and Mac where the outlines for Generators were not being rendered.
Engine Stability: Fixed a bug where enemies would spawn in "awkward" locations (or out of bounds) during low FPS or high latency moments.
The Chronos Paradox: Fixed a bug where Chronos was being accidentally slowed down or affected by his own time bubbles.
Visual Polish: Fixed the "blurry" smoke trail bug on missiles.
