Build focus: cleaner progression, sharper boss fights, and your first real Steam leaderboard hookup.
New & improved
Steam Leaderboards
Top Scores now has a Steam Leaderboards button at the top—one place for global ranks, board picker, and refresh.
Run score screen stays local-only; no more per-stat Steam clutter.
Leaderboard backend fixes so uploads and downloads actually talk to Steam when you launch from the library.
Realm Boss progression
After you claim a relic, the Realm Boss matches that realm’s element (Fire relic → Fire boss), not the next realm you’re heading to.
Relic → boss → travel loop should feel consistent end-to-end.
Portal & Realm Boss combat
Boss shots are fewer, faster, and straighter—less bullet hell, more readable dodging.
Bosses can’t outrun their own projectiles anymore; patterns stay fair at every tier.
Ability select UI
Elemental Wave cards use shorter descriptions so text doesn’t blow up the layout.
Characters & presentation
Portrait roster trimmed to 12 male + 12 female defaults; elemental skin variants removed from the flow.
v3.0 shows on the main title screen only (not name select, abilities, or game over).
Fixes & polish
Steam leaderboard init order and API calls corrected (upload/download path).
Score screen simplified: local breakdown only; Steam lives on Top Scores.
Clearer error messages when Steam or a board isn’t available yet.
For Steam players
Launch from your Steam library with the Steam client running to use leaderboards. First scores on a board may need a run to appear—then rankings populate for everyone.
- Added Male and Female Player Models!
