Major Difficulty Rebalance We heard you — the early levels were too punishing. Here's what changed: Bouncer bots start at 1 instead of 2 on Level 1 Shooter bots now appear at Level 5 (was Level 3) Dasher bots now appear at Level 7 (was Level 4) Seeker bots now appear at Level 9 (was Level 5) New density cap: bot count is now tied to map size, so smaller maps won't feel overcrowded All bot speed and cooldown scaling has been softened Bug Fixes Neon Rush: Timer now resets correctly on respawn — no more continuing from where you died Perfect Cut: Move counter no longer goes negative after all cuts are used Thanks for playing — let us know how the new balance feels!

Transmission Received: The "Fair Play" Update You said the neon grid was too brutal. We listened. Here is what’s new to help you survive the rogue AI swarm: New Heart System: You now have 3 lives! A single mistake won't send you back to the checkpoint immediately. Second Chance (Revive): Ran out of lives? You can now reboot your droid and continue exactly from where you died instead of starting over. Smart Power-Ups: The grid now adapts to you. Heart power-ups will only spawn when your hull is damaged and you actually need healing. Grid Alerts: Never miss your Ad-Free protocol with our new local notification system. Optimization: Under-the-hood performance boosts and visual polish for the smoothest neon slicing experience yet. Good luck out there. The bots are waiting.
