Forget everything you knew about defending the Earth. Standard orbital defense was getting way too civilized, so we completely ripped out the core progression loop and turned Divine Orbit into a full-blown Rogue-lite.
Instead of just buying passive upgrades, Bosses will now drop Evolution Protocols—highly volatile, mutually exclusive tech drafts that fundamentally break the rules of the game.
We built three entirely unhinged new tech trees. Pick your poison:
Kessler Syndrome isn't a tragedy; it's a strategy.
This tree is all about exponential, cascading chain reactions. When you draft Kessler Cascade, every single enemy you kill violently detonates, firing homing plasma bolts outward in a starburst.
The Catch: If those bolts kill another enemy, that enemy also detonates.
The Result: A single well-placed shot into a massive swarm will trigger a 500-explosion chain reaction that wipes the entire screen. Apologies to your GPU.
Turn your satellite ring into a literal blender.
If you prefer cold, calculated area denial, draft the Prism Web. This protocol forces your orbital satellites to connect to each other via thick, searing-hot laser tripwires, creating a massive, rotating polygon of death around the Earth.
The Catch: At higher tiers, this web doesn't just vaporize ships—it acts as a physical hard-light barrier that intercepts and incinerates incoming enemy missiles before they can reach the crust.
The Result: You are no longer trapped in orbit with the enemies. They are trapped in a blender with you.
Use the enemy as the ammunition.
Why shoot rocks when you can crush them with the fabric of spacetime? The Singularity Grip turns your mouse cursor into a localized gravity well.
The Catch: Click and hold any enemy to turn them into a living black hole. They will violently suck all surrounding enemies into them, taking massive "crush damage" the longer you hold them.
The Result: When the enemy you are holding finally runs out of HP, the entire clump violently detonates in a massive AoE shockwave. Group them up, crush them down, and pop the bubble.
To support the sheer amount of absolute chaos these new builds generate, the backend physics engine has been entirely rewritten using Zero-Allocation arrays and Spatial Partitioning grids.
Whether there are 10 enemies on screen or 1,000 overlapping Kessler plasma bolts, the engine will no longer drop frames. The simulation stays locked at a buttery smooth 144Hz, no matter how hard you try to break it.
Good luck, Commanders. Try not to melt your motherboards.
