15 New Items

Fifteen items have been added to the shop. Same 12 rounds — far more combinations to build.

Several of them change how you play rather than just how much you earn. Dark Matter Veil hides the next-block preview and multiplies all earnings by 4. Athena's Precision doubles your payout, but only if you clear exactly one row at a time.

Tutorial and Hints, Rebuilt

• The tutorial now teaches combos after you buy your first item, so you watch the item bonus, the color effect, and the combo multiplier stack up on the same clear.
• Shop instructions are split into short steps instead of one wall of text.
• First-run guidance now covers color effects, controls, and the right-hand panel — so skipping the tutorial no longer means missing the rules.
• Game Over now tells you why the run ended.

Translation Fixes

Every language got corrections. Some screens were falling back to English where a translation was missing, and the right-hand panel could overflow in languages with longer color names.

Control Fixes

• Keyboard and gamepad navigation no longer breaks after collapsing the shop.
• Hints no longer swallow your input — a key press closes the hint instead of dropping a block.
• The landing preview no longer lingers while effects are being tallied.

Thanks for playing. Let us know what you think on the discussion boards.
