- Update 1.1.2 - 13 September 2026
Hey everyone! This update brings a new balance for Endless mode, removes the Interest payout cap, and fixes several quest issues. Thanks for sharing your reports and feedback! Endless Mode Rebalanced Endless with consistent, compounding enemy growth throughout each run. Enemy health, damage, movement speed and travelling projectile speed increase every wave, putting much greater pressure on long runs. The curve is tuned to make reaching around wave 50 a major challenge for strong builds. Enemies keep getting stronger beyond that point; there is no fixed final wave. Regular enemies and bosses now follow the same wave-scaling rules, while retaining their individual base stats and attack patterns. New Endless leaderboards and personal bests keep results earned under this balance separate from previous runs. Existing records are preserved. Improved collision and destination handling for fas…
