We've just rolled out a pre-release update focusing on polish, readability and making Nova Swarm feel even better moment-to-moment. Here's what's changed:
Codex improvements
Enemy, boss, power-up and sector entries are clearer, more useful and better connected to what you actually encounter in-game.
Added improved reference sections for power-ups and sectors to help you understand what's happening during a run and what to watch out for next.
UI & feedback
Result screens cleaned up—score, rank progress, leaderboard status, ship unlock progress and “one more run” prompts are easier to parse.
Leaderboard results now get stronger visual celebration, especially for top-three and number-one placements.
Ship unlock notices and next-unlock progress are clearer.
Additional tweaks
Carrier Intel has been improved with better spacing and pacing and more key details.
Gameplay messages have been adjusted so important information is less likely to stack or overlap during busy moments.
As always, thanks for playing and please let us know what you think in the comments!
