This update improves iPhone touch controls, combat clarity, and upgrade progression, with a new Music Room and more atmospheric city scenes. Touch controls and menus • Fixed unresponsive Restart and Stage Select buttons on the Mission Failed screen. • Fixed touch input for Settings buttons, including Close, language selection, Reset, and Erase Progress. Improved volume slider dragging and handling of multiple touches. • Tap the pause screen to resume. Settings now shows touch control instructions on mobile. • Fixed an issue that could prevent the title screen and game interface from loading at launch. • Improved shop continuation and return-to-stage-selection flows, prevented duplicate touch actions, and added confirmation before erasing progress. Combat and progression • Dashing no longer consumes spray fuel, so you can escape with an empty tank. Added clearer cooldown feedback. • Improved close-range spray hits and increased coin and cheese pickup range. • Improved alignment between boss attack warnings and damage areas, and adjusted Prototype-X's attack damage. • Added a permanent maximum-health upgrade, adjusted spray upgrade prices and effects, and increased coin drops. • Fixed incorrect rat facing and upside-down movement visuals. Improved the food court boss's walking and special attack animations. • Adjusted movement boundaries to keep the player clear of the bottom interface and made stage wave counts easier to read. Music and presentation • Added a Music Room to Stage Select with 16 in-game tracks, track switching, and play/pause controls. Available from the start—no campaign completion required. • Refreshed the title layout with mist, particles, and neon lighting. Added moving lights and pulsing outbreak zones to the city map. • Improved shop layouts on smaller screens, health display, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese text.
