Build 26516392

⚖ Balance

• Octopus Pot: range doubled (all evolutions)
• Whirlpool towers: damage doubled, pull/push distance doubled
• Pulling whirlpools (Whirlpool Generator, Abyssal Whirlpool, Maw of the Abyss): attack interval 30% shorter
• Tier-3 God of Wealth: chance to snatch the princess back 10% → 0.1% (still 30% with the Frog Prince's Kiss)

Stronger whirlpools that pull farther

• Several boss issues (towers firing at invulnerable bosses, bosses teleporting near the lair, the Pufferking stuttering mid-leap, and more)
• The defeat cutscene didn't play when clearing wave 50 again.
• The Sandcastle curse's half-price breakwaters didn't apply to the bottom breakwater button.
• The tier-3 God of Wealth's snatch could show an unrelated message or leave the screen stuck.
