New & Reworked

  • Attacks Now Have Timing — until now the claw's hitbox was live from the button press to the very last frame. Swings are now split into wind-up, active, and recovery, and your body leans into the strike. A swing that connects recovers faster, so the next hit comes sooner.
  • Blueberry Character Art Overhaul — full-body, motion, and expression artwork has been redrawn. The three-hit combo now animates as three distinct motions, and the Awakening skill has its own dedicated animation.

Improvements

  • Shops, abyss rewards, and inspection points now light up the moment you press them — these were the spots where nothing responded and you ended up pressing twice.
  • Hover over your stats to see how much comes from your character and how much from your shell and upgrades. The same panel appears when you hover the health hearts.
  • At very high health, heart colors now step through tiers.
  • Rebuilt Blueberry's first inspection scene. You see what was found before the conversation picks it up.
  • Blueberry's finisher now trails a blue streak.
  • The ending music now comes in once the first scene has settled.
  • Unified the wording around "markings" across every language.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed turning mid-swing rotating only the sprite while the hitbox stayed facing the old direction.
  • Fixed your character staying slightly enlarged after a finisher hit several enemies at once.
  • Fixed health above 100 not showing on the hearts at all.
