Slot Theory 1.6.2

Small patch, one fix.

Fixed: enemy status rings disappearing mid-run

Chill Shot, Marked, burn, Deadzone pin, shield, veil, near-death and corrosion rings could all vanish partway through a run and never come back.

What was happening: once the board gets busy (80+ enemies) or the frame rate dips below 50 even once in a wave, we switch the rings to a cheaper shader version to keep things smooth. That shader version got glitched sometimes, not drawing anything. And because the frame-rate switch sticks for the rest of the run, one hitch in wave 8 meant no rings until the end screen. Next run they'd be back, which is why it felt random.

Rings are back now, in both versions.

Each wave now has a spawn budget (about 60 s at wave 21, +1% a wave) and the enemy count fits inside it. To hold difficulty level, every endless wave trades HP for speed: HP down 2% a wave, speed up 0.5% a wave, compounding.

Two, three or four commanders, one shared lane, one pool of lives, and seven maps built for nothing else. Your partner's leak is your leak. There is no polite way to say "that was your end". Also: 68 badges (up from 51), 50 titles (up from 14), and we found a 16-damage tower doing 74% of a run's total damage. That one is further down. Co-op Everyo…
