Changes

Net System

  • If an enemy manages to move far enough away, they will now pull the player forcefully to prevent being dragged to the ship.

  • Nets are no longer launched instantly upon clicking. You must now hold and charge the net launcher before firing. The distance the net travels depends on how long you charge it (max 3 seconds).

Ark

  • Fixed an issue where two Earths would appear in space.

Player

  • Adjusted close-range night vision so that using a flashlight indoors is no longer strictly necessary.

Map Selector

  • Each map now has its own unique image.

Maps

  • Laboratory:

    • Increased the number of compression rooms: 1 per floor -> 2 per floor.

    • Increased the number of teleportation rooms: 1 per floor -> 2 per floor.
