- Wave Bonus, Offline Vault and Welcome Back: watching an ad now gives ×3, and the button shows exactly how much you'll get. - Continue after a breach now also gives 2× income for the next 5 waves. - The store now lists subscription benefits up front, and the Starter Pack is also shown on the subscription page.

- New Starter Pack: a one-time offer with chips, coins and 2× income for 5 waves. - The Welcome Back reward can now be doubled by watching an ad. - The wave bonus ×2 offer now comes every 2 waves. - In the upgrade shop, "Watch Ad" now asks for a second tap, so you won't open an ad by accident. - Subscriptions now say it plainly: no ads at all, and rewards are granted instantly.

- From wave 13, enemies immune to your main element no longer flood the whole field: their number on screen is now capped, and the rest of the slots spawn regular enemies. - On the upgrade card screen, "Reroll (AD)" and "+1 Pick (AD)" now show "Loading" and grey out until the ad is ready, then light up automatically.

- Smoother late waves: when your phone starts to struggle, the game now automatically trims effects (fewer hit sparks first, then the glow) to keep the frame rate steady and cut heat and battery drain. Phones that keep up keep full visuals.

- Faster start: first-wave enemies now reach your turret much sooner, so your first shots, kills and card pick come within seconds instead of half a minute. - Shop: right after you buy an upgrade, the Watch Ad button stays grayed out for a moment, so rapid tapping no longer starts an ad by accident. Pause, then tap it once it lights up. - Added performance tracking for later waves to help us reduce heat and battery drain.

- Fixed waves getting stuck when the battlefield fills up. If enemies pile up to the on-screen limit and you can't clear them, the Defense Breached options (step back a few waves, or continue) now appear within about 30 seconds, instead of leaving you stuck for minutes. - Updated for iOS 27.

- Waves 11 and up are noticeably easier. Enemy health had been scaling too closely with your own damage, so upgrades stopped feeling worthwhile and a single late wave could drag on for minutes. Enemies now follow your power about half as closely. - Upgrade card draws rebalanced. Cards players almost always skipped now appear less often, and the ones players almost always took appear more. - The rating prompt now appears after you collect the daily bonus, instead of between waves.

- Stalemate detection now fires twice as fast. It used to need about 50 seconds of fighting before it could trigger, and roughly half of the players who got stuck had already quit by then. It now starts judging at around 25 seconds, and calls the wave almost immediately if nothing has died while a crowd is still standing - so the fall-back-and-regroup choice reaches you while you still want to keep playing. - The offline vault now runs overnight: the cap went from 4 hours / 20,000 up to 8 hours / 45,000, so coming back the next morning is worth noticeably more than stepping away for an afternoon. - Three new optional rewarded-video boosts: gain one upgrade level when you are short on coins, double your coin and chip income for the next few waves, or double an offline vault claim. Every one of them is opt-in and nothing is ever forced on you. - The weapon shop no longer interrupts you with the store page when you cannot afford a row. - Fixed the daily bonus being claimable more than once in the same day.

- Stalemate detection is much sharper. It used to ask only whether anything had happened at all, so killing one or two enemies reset the clock and a wave you could chip at forever was never called. It now measures how fast the wave is actually clearing: when the enemies on the field would take minutes to finish at your current rate and the gate is not falling either, the line breaks within about a minute and you get the usual choice - roll back a few waves for free, or watch an ad and continue where you are.

- Stuck on a wave you cannot clear? The game now detects a stalemate — when nothing is dying and the gate is not falling either, the line breaks right away, so you can fall back or watch an ad to continue instead of waiting it out. - Chips come in much faster, and late-game chip upgrades cost far less. Pierce, crit and homing are finally affordable. - The offline vault now holds up to 4 hours and 20,000 coins (was 1 hour / 5,000). - The double-rewards card now appears every 3 waves instead of every single wave. - Coin packs now scale with your progress, so a pack bought late is worth as much as one bought early.

- Waves no longer drag on forever. If your firewall can't clear a wave in time, the line breaks — and you get the usual choice: fall back a few waves, or watch an ad to hold the line. - Tapping a reward button before an ad has loaded now tells you to try again in a moment, instead of doing nothing. - Fixed: brand-new players were greeted with a "welcome back" daily bonus.

- New daily return bonus: come back each day for free chips, and the longer your streak, the bigger the reward. - The offline vault now unlocks at wave 3 instead of wave 7. - New players now get a hint the first time they can afford a weapon upgrade. - Rebalanced weapon upgrades: cheaper early levels and a smoother growth curve, so every upgrade feels worth it.

- Refreshed the App Store listing so it is clear up front that the whole game runs offline, with no WiFi needed. - Minor stability improvements. - No gameplay changes in this version.

- Fixed an issue where some internal analytics were not recorded correctly in the previous update. - Minor stability improvements.

- This update contains internal improvements only: we added analytics that help us tune balance and pacing in future updates. - No gameplay changes in this version.

- Buying a pack now showers the battlefield with the resources you bought, so you can feel every purchase land. - The shop no longer shows a placeholder price when the store is unreachable - unavailable packs are clearly marked instead. - The game is now locked to portrait, so it can no longer flip sideways mid-wave. - Performance and stability fixes.
