ADDED

  • Four free weapons: Laser Pen, Electrotrail, Hand of Midas, The Plant. Each has its own intro ceremony.

  • Five free keepables: Aim Bloom, Bubblife, Popvestment, Chill Pill, Cupcake.

  • Extraction checkpoints now offer a choice: a bubble, a power pack, or a bigger board. Each claim has its own ceremony.

  • The Egg: Random Lucky drops a giant egg that cracks open for a reward, including the EGG JACKPOT.

  • Catty now teaches the tutorials, with a flashlight beam and a soap bubble you pop to continue.

  • Difficulty stamp when you beat a boss on Hard or Insane.

  • New tutorial after beating The Chronos explaining the fastest game speed.

  • Lobby atmosphere: ocean depth, marine snow, breathing lamps.

  • Right-click on the lesson monitor goes back a channel.

CHANGED

  • Weapons are locked to rarity slots and re-tiered. Late locations grant 4 / 3 / 2 slots on Easy / Hard / Insane.

  • Keepables are seated by rarity columns.

  • The board starts at 50 bubbles, +25 per BIGGER BOARD pick, up to 200.

  • Promotion now gives a 25% chance to double the reward you pick at a checkpoint.

  • The Eye and The Drone are 3-minute runs with one checkpoint. The Camera and The Chronos are 4 minutes with two.

  • Easy gates retuned on the first four locations. The Eye grants 5 / 2 / 1 keepable seats and one weapon slot on Easy.

  • The Core's toll now scales with the XP you bring to the fight.

  • Bubbleathon picks all four bubbles on one panel. A doubled Promotion bubble works the same way.

  • Pearl summons a giant Pearl Bubble. The Egg and the Pearl expire after 5 seconds, and every weapon hits the Egg.

  • Reworked keepables: Chill Time and Feedorb are Mythic and double a stat while another stays low, Ninja Fan gives 1% crit per 10 pops.

  • Bubble Mixer pays 15% to 45% of your TOTAL crit per empty slot.

  • Diet, Board Dryer and Voidkeeper pay a share of your total instead of flat points.

  • Maxuble doubles total XP at every checkpoint. Overpower doubles XP too. Catalyst deals empowered rares.

  • Sniper 10x to 85x. The Drill is Mythic at 10% to 85%, in the arcade too. Hydro Pump is Legendary, pumps rares from the start, 5% to 75%.

  • Rapid Fire is Legendary at 10% per tick. Biggy 5%. Pizza Time 5%. Bubble Bank 10 coins. The Bomb 4 charges. The Plant rewinds at most 45 seconds.

  • Rarity moves: Luxury Time, Refresher, Some Balls, Gold Bag to Common. E-Pass, Bubblemancer, Stopwatch, Promotion, Bubble Burrito to Rare. Dual Power, Popvestment, Bubblife to Epic. Random Lucky, Gold Mine, Vampire Dies to Legendary.

  • Genie Lamp wishes roll equally. The wish comes every 60 seconds at every level. Upgrades buy multicast only.

  • Burst is renamed Multishot.

  • The exchange screen is rebuilt.

  • The weapon rail and keepable board are machined sockets. Slots light up in their rarity colour, icons are sharp, the level badge sits on a plate, the cooldown traces the socket.

  • The run report shows rarity on weapons and keepables, gives bubbles their own slot style, and leads with a bigger boss portrait.

  • PLAY dissolves the location card into the run. The selected boss stays enlarged. The pause menu is tighter. The game over screen animates in.

  • The game speed hint waits until after the pause hint and never opens during a boss.

FIXED

  • On a shared PC a new Steam account could inherit another account's offline save.

  • Project Poltergeist: the black hole kept running while paused.

  • Helix Discovery: the FUSION cinematic was silent.

  • The Core's health bar jumped on the first frame of the fight.

  • The Vampire's giant bubble was hit-tested at half size. Mad Ducky never hit The Core.

  • The Refresh and Banish buttons snapped instead of sliding.

  • The power bullet badge flickered.

REMOVED

  • The silent stat bonuses at extraction checkpoints.

  • The old tutorial cards.

  • Promotion's stat scaling.

  • Genie Lamp cooldown reduction from upgrades.

  • Boss ability text on the Bosses tab hover. It now lives on the location card.
