Hello everyone!
A new update is now available! This time, a large part of the work has focused on revamping the UI and menus, along with new features, gameplay improvements, and several adjustments.
UI Overhaul
A large portion of the game's menus has been reworked to modernize their appearance and improve readability.
The updated interfaces include:
Reworked Main Menu.
Complete overhaul of the Achievements menu.
Reworked Relics menu.
Reworked Map Selection.
Reworked Tutorial and Information panels.
Other elements have also been updated to provide a more consistent interface throughout the game.

Discovering new Relics is now rewarded!
When a new Relic is discovered, it can now be revealed and claimed from the Relics menu.
Each newly discovered Relic rewards 50 Gold.
A notification now appears on the menu whenever new rewards are available.
The "New" indicator shown when choosing Relics has been reworked: it now only appears for a Relic that has never been obtained before.
Achievements & Collection
The Achievements menu has been reworked.
New interface and navigation.
Achievements that are also available on Steam now have a dedicated indicator.

Gameplay
Several new features and improvements have also been added directly to gameplay:

The Spectral Radar now generates income at the start of each new wave from its first upgrades: 10 / 20 / 30 Gold depending on its level.

The drop rates of the Reward Wheel after a victory have been adjusted.
The end-game interface now correctly supports runs where more than 5 items have been collected.
