BEATSHIFT ARENA — v0.13.0 Update

Everything new since v0.9.0

🌀 Bend Gravity

• Gravity Reorient — slam your "up" onto any surface, or flip 180° mid-air. Beat-synced with a cinematic camera and grapple-cone target lock.
• Gravity Zones — arena trigger zones that rewrite which way is down.
• Keep full control during express-return — no more helpless slow-fall.

🔗 Grapple Overhaul

• Grapple Melee Slam — beat-synced melee while grappled.
• Full visual pass: source sphere, attach ball, contact-aware slam VFX, slam camera, hit-stop overlay, beam rings + preview, and haptics.
• Restored player neon trail; grapple beam on its own shader.

✨ Arena Looks Better

• GPU World-Motion Grid — spectrum-reactive, with a World Motion intensity setting.
• Upside Down fog spores — light-lit, beat-reactive, density toggle.
• Hexagonal arena grid toggle (Graphics > Visual Effects).
