Patch note timestamp: 2026 06 23 11:11 CEST.

A small polish hotfix is now live.

What Changed

• Near Miss feedback is now easier to see during play.
• Near Miss score popups now show clearer text, such as NEAR MISS +score or NEAR MISS xN +score.
• Hostile bullets received a small readability pass so they are less likely to be confused with pickups.
• Steam leaderboard reliability has been improved. If a Steam leaderboard submit fails because Steam is temporarily unavailable, the game now keeps a pending submit and retries later.
• Leaderboard screens now better distinguish between no scores yet and Steam leaderboard unavailable.
• Friends leaderboard empty state now explains that Steam friends will appear after they submit scores.
• How To Play text and input guidance improved, including Phase Burst wording, Left Mouse shoot text, Right Shift support, and clearer Tractor Ship guidance.

Thanks again for the reports and detailed feedback.
