Hey everyone,

Thanks for playing and sharing your honest feedback with us.

We just pushed a fresh Quality of Life update live to address some missing features, smooth out the gameplay loop, and give you a few new goals to chase.

Patch Notes:

"Always on Top" Toggle: You can now turn this off in the settings! The game will no longer hold your desktop hostage when you are trying to focus on other tasks or work.
Boss Wave Rebalance: Losing to a boss no longer traps you in an infinite resource drought. Bosses now spawn with 3 rows of regular enemies right in front of them, giving you a proper chance to farm currency, buy upgrades, and bounce back!
Dynamic UI Text & Readability: The text in the upgrade menu now automatically adapts to your screen size and how far zoomed in or out you are. No more squinting at tiny numbers.
Click Detection & Menu Navigation: We adjusted the UI hitboxes so your clicks actually register exactly when and where they are supposed to. Plus, you can now easily close menus like Options, Stats, and Leaderboards by simply pressing the ESC key.
New Achievements: Added a batch of brand-new achievements tied to different core types to give you a great reason to experiment with new builds!
