A small quality of life fix, requested by several players Quitting Endless Mode now uploads a highscore (if it's better than previous), making it so players going infinite don't have to wait for enemies to kill them.
Bug fixes: Fixed a bug where sometimes keyboard/gamepad menu navigation would not work in game mode/player selection screen (and for other menus too). Fixed a very rare case bug where game could potentially crash if you finished arcade mode and had lost Steamworks connection. (Ma

Corrected rounding method for drone damage, so that 75% of 10 becomes 8, not 7 (following standard rounding rules for decimals, which I try to keep consistent)

Fixed a remaining fringe case bug of attack fire rate from "Hackware" carrying over from one run to the next
I have a lot of smaller changes in this version, some of them game balancing, I will try to do as little of this as possible, to not mess up leaderboards. Made projectiles slightly faster with "Lightning" and "Lightspeed" upgrades Made "Enhancement" family of upgrades stronger, w
A couple of requested features have been added: Controller remap options, in the settings panel in the top right corner you will find a button to open a controls menu. It's not perfect, but should do the job, let me know if you find issues with this. Note that "Default" category
