Future plans for the next update

Besides a lot of new content including a new planet, enemies and a boss, we want to rework some older systems that we think are currently lacking and received feedback from your side that they need some adjustments. This will include the following things:

• Combo System – how it works in general, the time tracking / pausing.
• Time Chests – time tracking and rewards.
• Shops – additional possibilities for the player to spend money e.g. gambling, re-rolls and further upgrades.
