New Features
Added a new Accessibility option, "Readable Font" (Options > Accessibility, below 4-Line Flash): when enabled, swaps small/body text (name labels, descriptions, tooltips, HUD numbers) to a plain cross-platform sans font, while headers, titles, and large display numbers keep the game's pixel font. Off by default.
Balance
20G challenge's lock delay doubled (0.5s to 1.0s) to compensate for the removed falling-reaction window.
The Chrono gem (halves fall/attack speed) now also doubles the lock-delay window while active, matching its "everything about this piece slows down" theme. Stacks multiplicatively with 20G.
Quality of Life
Added a visual lead-in to the piece lock flash: the falling piece now progressively brightens while grounded-but-not-yet-locked, so the flash reads as the culmination of a build-up instead of a sudden, disconnected cue.
Reshaped the windowed-mode title bar from a full-width strip into a centered trapezoid, so it no longer overlaps and steals clicks from the gem-bag button and relic-bar icons on the Map/Gem Vendor/Shop headers. Minimize/maximize/close icons were also redrawn for cleaner, evenly weighted strokes.
The Prize Wheel event now has sound: a tick that speeds and slows with the spin, a positive chime on a good result, and a distinct negative sound on a bad one.
Fixes
Fixed settings (volume, cursor size, DAS delay, border style, font size, etc.) silently resetting to default on every restart when Steam Cloud sync was active.
Fixed winning a run, or exiting to the main menu after a boss kill, and clicking "Continue" from the Start Screen sometimes dropping you onto a dead-end map with no available nodes instead of offering a fresh run.
Fixed exiting to the main menu mid-battle (Pause > Menu) and clicking "Continue" silently skipping the in-progress fight instead of resuming it.
Fixed the run-summary card on the Victory screen not lining up with the screen's own background grid.
Fixed the saved windowed size occasionally getting zeroed out if the current screen briefly reported invalid dimensions.
