Added difficulty ratings to the Choose Your Path essence screen. Each minigame essence now shows an Easy, Medium, or Hard badge under its icon so a first pick isn't blind. The rating covers how much hands-on time the minigame wants and how far off its automation is, not how strong it ends up
Added a tooltip on each badge explaining exactly why that essence earned its rating
Rated all six minigame essences. Mage Tower and Singularity Factory are Easy, Iron Fortress and Space Invaders are Medium, Mining Expedition and Space Fishing are Hard
Made the essence path panel taller to fit the new badges
Added two-tap handling for the badges on touch, so the tap that opens a tooltip no longer locks in your path before you've read it
Added 45 new achievements for Space, Ascension, curses, and Mimic feats
Achievements now tell you how to unlock them before you unlock them (In hindsight hiding that until afterwards was dumb, how were you supposed to aim for anything?)
Achievement rewards stay hidden until you actually earn the achievement
Added a gambling branch to the Knight's upgrade tree, growing out of World Cleft. Four nodes for the Gambler's Den and four for the Black Market
Gambler's Den upgrades improve your odds. Marked Deck for Higher or Lower, Weighted Coin for the face you actually picked, Loose Reels for the slots, and Crooked Dealings which nudges all three at once
Black Market upgrades cut what a trade asks for, raise what it pays out, and shorten both the automatic restock and the manual refresh cooldown
Reworked how the slots pick a winner. Every winning combo now scales together, so maxing the upgrades lifts the jackpot by the same 7x as triple clubs instead of the cheap wins soaking up all of it
The Gambler's Den now shows your real odds with your upgrades counted in, instead of the base numbers
Upgrade tooltips now have a Current line telling you what that upgrade is handing you right this second
The gambling upgrades can't be overcharged
Removed the yellow screen flash when an achievement pops (It sucked)
Fixed achievement bonuses doing absolutely nothing at all. Every bonus type now actually applies, and Knight and Space Ranger bonuses stay on their own side
Fixed achievements from old builds hanging around in saves and counting toward nothing
Fixed guaranteed boss equipment never dropping again after a prestige for anyone with the Archive Anchor sigil allocated. This was permanently suppressing the Rusty Sword, Gilded Shield, Twilight Greaves, and the Space Ranger's entire run 2 through 8 rifle line
Fixed Tower Wars archer and mage fire rate upgrades resetting to 0 every time you loaded the game
Fixed Tower Wars archer and mage damage levels quietly creeping up toward the cap on every load
Fixed ascending with Overworld Legacy or Stellar Legacy leaving your upgrade tree showing as fully bought while still hitting for baseline damage. Affected saves now repair themselves the next time they load
Fixed the Mage Tower still turning XP into Gold after an ascension with nothing planted
Fixed Space prestige milestones dropping Space essences into the Knight's bag and marking Knight runs as cleared, which then blocked the Knight's own boss drops for those runs
Fixed the scroll wheel zooming the world behind whatever menu you had open. Settings, inventory, town panels, the runestone essence picker, top menu dropdowns and upgrade trees are all covered, in both realms
Fixed scrolling in the pause menu closing it, which in the minigames also unpaused the session behind you
Fixed being able to buy upgrades through the pause menu by clicking inside it
Fixed every Black Market upgrade doing nothing whatsoever. The material discount, the payout bonus and both restock timers all actually apply now
Fixed the Black Market panel not growing to fit its contents, which shoved text and buttons off the edge while a cooldown was ticking. Worst with only one stall unlocked
Fixed a big chunk of the game sitting in English no matter which language you picked.
Fixed a couple of lines showing English to German players, and a few that rendered as nothing at all
The Android build now targets Android 16 to keep up with Google Play. Your back button still behaves exactly the way it always has
Bunch of little backend fixes and clean up work
