Mosquitos now trigger their explosion noticeably earlier.
Boss push logic reworked: push strength now scales with the distance between the player and the source.
The active cooldown of the quest spawner is reduced by 25% each time you complete a quest.

Settings: V-Sync toggle now remembers its state across scene changes.
Audio Manager: recurring sounds are now partially pitch-shifted.
Collision sounds with enemies no longer trigger twice.
Boss 2: no more brief invisible wall after destroying the deployed shields.

New quest completion sound; trigger sound reworked.
Quest boxes now have an opening animation and no longer disappear abruptly.
Stationary enemies from District 3 onward now have an engine/flight sound.
Boss 1: added flight sound and weapon-channeling SFX; minor visual tweaks.
Boss 2: new SFX when lasers hit targets.
Damage-field sounds are no longer global.
District 2 mines now play an explosion VFX when triggered and no longer just vanish; they also explode on collision.
Reworked how EXP and other pickup sounds are handled to avoid overlap:
EXP sounds pitch up as you approach a level-up.
New sounds for Time and Heal orbs.
UI sounds revised.
Button hover now uses tweens instead of direct scaling.
New “select module” sound in the hangar.
Button hover sound replaced.
