BIG UPDATE LIVE – NEW SEASON OF GACHA FEVER ! 🎉

Today, we’re dropping a massive update to kick off a brand-new season packed with fresh content, deep changes, and a clearer vision of the experience we want to offer you. This update lays the foundation for what’s coming next.

Originally, this was planned as a DLC... but after discussing it with the team, we decided to spread the content across the year through regular free updates — and yes, another big one is coming later !

🆕 WHAT'S NEW / WHAT'S CHANGED:

🦆 A New Playable Character

He arrives with two devastating new weapons, including the long-awaited FLAMETHROWER... it’s gonna get toasty 🔥
And the other one is ice-themed ! ❄️

⚔️ New Loot + GOLD Items to Craft

• 4 new items

• 4 new GOLD items to craft

• Balance updates to several existing items

We also made sure that every item now contributes to at least one GOLD-tier craft — for better synergy and build variety.

📘 New Codex Loadout Selection System

You can now select exactly which weapons and items will appear in your run, directly from the Codex !

This was one of the most requested features and as we kept adding content, it became harder to find the specific builds players wanted.

➡️ Now you can define your experience, experiment freely, and focus on your favorite strategies.

We're excited to hear what you think! It’s still a work in progress, but we hope you’ll enjoy this new layer of control and customization.

⚖️ Full Difficulty Balancing Rework

We’ve rebuilt the entire difficulty scaling system from the ground up :

• Smoother difficulty tiers

• Enemy health and damage progression is now more readable and consistent

• The Infinite Mode has been reworked with a more fun and gradual power curve

💾 Save System Overhaul

We’ve completely rebuilt the save system to better support long-term game growth and new features. ➡️ As a result, this update includes a soft leaderboard reset to start the new season fresh.

🏁 New Season, Fresh Start !

🚨 A brand-new season begins now !

You’ll still be able to view the previous season’s leaderboard,
but it’s time to climb back to the top !

What is a soft reset ?
Only scores from X+ difficulty are reset.
Your progress in difficulties 1, 2, and 3 is preserved.
➡️ You’re not starting over from scratch !

📊 Leaderboard Score Changes:

We’ve fully recalculated how leaderboard points are earned :

• Max score pre-X+ is now 10,000 (down from 15,000)

• Victory rewards are now much higher

• Difficulty 2 can now reach up to 3,000 points (was 1,000)

🎯 The goal: a smoother, more rewarding progression that better reflects high-level X+ gameplay.

🧠 New Weapon Tooltips

We’ve added new tags and visuals to make weapon types easier to identify.

Tooltips now:

• Show damage ratios more clearly

• Indicate weapon category/type with icons and highlights

🛠️ Balancing Updates: Items, Weapons & GOLD Crafts

Here are a few examples:

• Spikyblow (weapon): physical ratio increased from 120% → 125%

• S+++ now requires one additional A+ item to craft (it was too easy given its power)

• Several GOLD items have been rebalanced or adjusted

A Huge Milestone but We're Still Listening

With so many changes (balancing, saves, Codex...), some hotfixes may arrive later this week.
Your feedback will be crucial to help us fine-tune everything 💜
