New
- 13 new quests added, including "Don't Fear the Horde" (counter while surrounded), chain deflect windows, midair counters, charge shot multi-kills, and blink-kill combos.
- Pause menu redesigned: fullscreen dark overlay, wider Stats and Inventory panels, inventory now displays stat values (stacked items sum correctly).
- Main menu heat defaults raised to 5; heat settings now persist between sessions.
- Two new lighting presets added (Pink Hour, Fae). Dawn and Dusk reworked so scenes feel more distinct between runs.
Fixes
- Quest Statue restored after breaking in a previous patch.
- Character preset now applies reliably when starting a level.
- Only the active character's visuals show; other character parts no longer leak through.
- Game-break upgrade threshold now floors at 50 so low-heat runs can't trivially hit it.
Art
- Level 1 grass repainted.
