New: Slot-A-Lot money jackpots (Cherry/Gold/Diamond) now trigger a full celebration: a coin/star/dollar fountain erupts from behind a giant pulsing rainbow JACKPOT banner, twin sun-ray rings spin in opposite directions, the arena ring flashes, and the prize amount arcs across the screen letter by letter with a glowing shadow-beam effect before flying to your score - all backed by a dedicated jackpot music sting.
Fixed: Root Snare (and its fusions Swamp/Wildfire) could theoretically trap a ball forever, since every hit re-triggered new roots with no cooldown - they now have a proper cooldown between root triggers.
Fixed: The Wheel of Fortune could interrupt a Jackpot celebration or the "Crashed the Arcade" easter egg if it triggered at the same time - now blocked during both.
Fixed: In the Meta Shop skill tree, connection lines/arrows lit up as soon as you bought the first level of a prerequisite, even for upgrades that require it fully maxed out first - they now only light up once the next upgrade is actually unlocked.
Fixed: The data collection notice on startup could appear a few seconds after the main menu already accepted clicks, letting a fast click slip through before it - it now appears immediately.
Changed: Updated the startup disclaimer text to reflect the current playtest phase.
Polish: The traveling light pulse on unlocked Meta Shop skill tree connections now glows green.
Under the hood: Fixed gamepad navigation on the exit/wishlist screen, resized a couple of peg visuals, refined the jackpot music fade back into the soundtrack, credits updated.
