Release Notes
This update introduces new weapon effects and reworks Green Eyes performance without sacrificing the encounter’s signature swarm.
New Weapons
- Added the Flower Round, a procedural spinning projectile with sharp, weapon-like petals.
- After leaving Zenia’s gun, the flower releases its petals one at a time in multiple directions.
- Direct contact cancels the flower and deals impact damage.
- Increased the Flower Round’s firing speed slightly.
- Redesigned the fast round as a distinct procedural circular projectile for clearer identification during combat.
Green Eyes Improvements
- Restored the complete 210-eye formation at every performance level.
- Removed the system that reduced the number of Green Eyes when frame rate dropped.
- Reduced how many eyes can fire simultaneously.
- Added an adaptive cap for active Green Eye projectiles.
- Slower hardware now reduces projectile frequency, glow effects, pupil animation, and background movement instead of removing enemies.
- Optimized the 300-star boss background by lowering its animation frequency when performance struggles.
Quality and Stability
- Updated automated coverage for the new weapons and Green Eyes performance behavior.
- Verified the complete project with 107 passing tests.
