NEURODRIFT is now free to play! • Play the first 4 campaign sectors for free • Unlock all 19 sectors, Endless mode, and full progression with a one-time upgrade • Existing owners get everything unlocked automatically Bug fix: • Fixed physics simulation continuing during level-up and pause screens, which caused kills, XP collection, and multiple level-ups to stack while the game was paused

Bug fixes - despawning enemies

CONVERGENCE SIMULATION Before your journey begins, experience what a fully augmented agent can do. New players are thrown into an intense combat simulation with maxed-out weapons, evolved abilities, and overwhelming enemy waves. Feel the full power of Neurodrift — chain lightning, gravity wells, plasma storms, and more — as hundreds of enemies flood the arena. Then Nexus Prime intervenes. Your weapons go dark. Your augmentations are purged. Everything is taken from you. Now choose your agent. Start from zero. Fight to get it all back. • Fully powered prologue sequence with 6 weapons and boosted stats • 4 escalating enemy waves culminating in a Megabot assault • Dramatic "Convergence Protocol" death sequence with glitch effects • Plays once on first new game, then straight to character select The only way out is through.

Accessibility & Controls • Full VoiceOver support across all menus, overlays, and HUD elements • Complete keyboard navigation for all game screens — level-up cards selectable with arrow keys, Enter, or number keys (1/2/3) • Controller support extended to every overlay: cosmetic shop, bestiary, settings, run complete, and more • Reduced motion support: animated effects gracefully adapt for users who prefer less motion • Dynamic Type–aware font scaling Tutorial & Onboarding • New contextual hint system for players who skip the tutorial — non-blocking banners guide you through movement, auto-fire, XP collection, leveling up, and abilities • Hints are platform-aware (touch controls on iOS, keyboard/mouse on Mac) and persist per save slot Lore & Narrative • Neurodrift woven deeper into game lore and narrative throughout missions and UI Visual & UI Polish • Overhauled background visuals with vivid, atmospheric themed levels • Fixed overlapping HUD labels in the top-center area • Status effects, adaptive difficulty, and seeded runs for varied replayability

CORRUPTION ZONES Levels now contain deadly hazard areas filled with digital corruption. Glitchy, flickering zones of static and noise deal massive damage — stay inside for more than a few seconds and you're dead. Navigate around them or get shredded. Every level layout is different. TERMINAL GUARDIANS Hacking terminals are no longer unguarded. A new enemy type — the Terminal Guardian — patrols around each terminal in formation. They'll charge at you if you get close. Take them out first, or hack under fire. TURRET REBALANCED Turrets now enter a 45-second cooldown after their 30-second firing window expires, with a visible countdown. No more chaining turret activations back-to-back. BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS - Hacking terminals spawn farther from you — reaching them is now a deliberate choice - Magnet pickup range and speed significantly reduced — you actually have to move toward XP drops now - Magnet Core passive scaling reduced from +25% to +15% per level

BOSS COMBAT OVERHAUL Bosses now fight back harder with three new attack patterns: • Charge Attack: Bosses lock on and dash across the arena, bouncing off walls like a pinball • Bullet Hell: Dense spiral projectile waves that fill the screen • Summon Minions: Bosses call reinforcements that spawn right on top of you No more standing at range and watching them melt. Every boss now has at least one move that forces you to move. NEW GAME+ REBALANCED • Steeper enemy scaling across all NG+ tiers — HP, damage, and speed ramp harder • More enemies per wave and higher elite spawn rates • Enemy shields activate from NG+3 • Titan Plating and Bio Regen slightly reduced to keep late-game challenging NEW FEATURES • Title screen with animated logo • iCloud save sync — your progress follows you across devices • Endless mode for pure survival • Cosmetic shop with new skins • Game Center leaderboards and achievements • Full macOS support with keyboard, mouse, and game controller QUALITY OF LIFE • New app icon • Fixed HUD overlap issues • Crash reporting for faster bug fixes
