Major Graphics Overhaul
Slot Theory 1.7.0 Clean Containment: a new look for the whole battlefield The synthwave grid is gone.

Balance Pass
Slot Theory 1.6.3 Endless wave length re-designed Deep endless waves grew without limit. Wave 100 on Normal was 881 enemies over 8 minutes, most of it waiting.

To hold difficulty level, every endless wave trades HP for speed: HP down 2% a wave, speed up 0.5% a wave, compounding. Bosses ride…
