🧱 New Event: Linked Stone Wall

Unlocks at Level 33

From L33 onward, stone walls spawn from 8 anchor points around the map — one at each of the 4 corners (NE/NW/SE/SW) plus one on each of the 4 edges (N/S/W/E).

Chain linking

Every new wall always links to the previous wall from its anchor — chains snake inward, bend when direction changes, never break. Direction is picked at random from 3 inward options per anchor:

• Corners: opposite-diagonal + 2 cardinals
• Edges: opposite-cardinal + 2 diagonals

If a spawn would land out of bounds, the chain waits for an inward direction on the next cycle.

Gameplay effect

• Walls block the miner only — enemies pass through freely, so combat isn't disrupted
• Walls persist for the level; cleared on restart, victory, or game over

PvP

Per-player state (same as Swarm / Cryo Cloud) — your walls don't replicate to opponents, and theirs don't reach you.
