NEW: ARRIVAL BY DROPSHIP Every drop now begins with a heavy four-engine lander coming down through the dust, holding on its jets while the belly doors slide open, and climbing away once your tank is on the ground. Tap to skip it if you're in a hurry — you get control the moment the doors part. LOSING A RUN READS PROPERLY When your tank goes down, the drill is destroyed or the base falls, the frame now closes in and opens back up as you respawn. STAR MAP - The wormhole to the next galaxy stays dark until you've actually cleared the one you're in. - Locked planets no longer zoom in on a mission you can't launch. - Fixed: a fresh save could start on the second galaxy's first planet. MENU - "Continue" instead of "Close" while you're mid-level. - Leaving a level now asks first — no more losing a run to a stray tap. - The Star Map row is hidden when you're already on the star map. - Discovery's back button returns to the menu instead of dropping you into a live battlefield. FIXED - The music no longer restarts every time you open the menu.

• The first thing you research is now the minigun, not a turret — and it is the cheapest project on the shelf, so it lands on planet one instead of two levels later. • The deploy guide no longer fires during the opening. It waits until you actually choose to buy a turret, and then arrives immediately instead of a second and a bit later. • The walls, the floor and the outbuildings now reach the actual edge of the map. They used to stop short of it, leaving a strip of ground beyond the wall that looked like a gap in the base. • The onboarding arrow could point off the top of the screen. It now always stays in frame, on any phone. • Ramming with the plow is louder and consecutive hits climb in pitch, so ploughing through a line reads as one escalating run rather than the same crunch repeating.
