v7.1.4 • balance pass

📋 What's New

v7.1.4 Balance
  • Rifle upgrades nerfed — top-tier rifle damage reduced ~13-17%. Early-game rifle towers unchanged. Other towers untouched.
  • Endless Mode unlocks at Stage 25 (was 50). Players can now jump into endless after a much shorter campaign run.
  • Save codes ~19% smaller. Empty/default fields are now stripped before encoding. Old codes still import correctly.
  • Fixed a typo in the Endless Mode lock alert.
v7.1.3 QoL
  • ⏭ Skip button appears in the topbar during prep phases. Tap it to start the next wave instantly when you're ready — no waiting for the timer.
  • Works for the initial 30-second prep AND every between-wave 15s/30s prep.
  • Fixed the pause button label not hiding correctly on small phone screens.
v7.1.2 Anti-Cheat
  • Save signing: saves now carry a signature. Edited save files (or pasted-and-modified export codes) get rejected with a clear error.
  • Auto-backup: every save also writes a rolling backup. If a save is corrupted or tampered, the previous good save is restored automatically.
  • Old unsigned saves and pre-v7.1.2 export codes still load — no progress lost.
  • Note: this stops casual save editors, not determined hackers. True anti-cheat needs a server.
v7.1.1 Audit
  • Full code audit — confirmed every onclick button wires to a real function, every getElementById target exists, all 7 new prestige upgrades and 5 new research items reach gameplay through the right effect channels.
  • Tested all 15 chests with 1000 simulated rolls each — every chest delivers rewards, every boost ID in the chest pool exists in the shop, no silent failures.
  • Verified save migration handles old (pre-v7) saves and export/import round-trips losslessly.
v7.1.0 Content
  • Fixed chest rewards. Old descriptions advertised Parts/Boost Items/Mega RP that never actually dropped — chests gave gems only. Every chest now drops what its description says.
  • Wolf Vault buffed. Was identical to Mythic for 2.5× the cost. Now drops ~1650 gems + 5 RP + TWO boosts (legendary + epic) + bonus rolls.
  • 3 new chests: Starter Bundle (200g), Speed Run Crate (1800g), Elite Operations (6000g).
  • 7 new prestige upgrades: Lucky Crits, Battlefield Loot, Veteran Wages, Last Stand, Heavy Munitions, Logistics Bonus, Lucky Streak.
  • 5 new research projects: Overdrive Coils, Long-Range Targeting, Forward Bunker, Jackpot Reels, Last Stand Protocol (one-shot revive).
v7.0.6 Save System
  • Quick Save to file — Settings → 📤 Export now has a one-tap "Download as File" button. Saves a .txt file you can keep anywhere.
  • Quick Load from file — 📥 Import now has "Choose Save File" so you can load a backup without copy/paste.
  • New players now start with 110 gems (was 10).
v7.0.5 Save System
  • Export & import save codes — back up your progress or move it to another device. Buttons live in Settings → 💾 Save Data.
  • Future updates now auto-migrate old saves so new fields don't break your progress.
v7.0.4 UI
  • Added this patch notes button so you can see what's been updated.
v7.0.3 Bug Fix
  • Fixed Speeders making the game progressively harder. They were wrongly counted as bosses on death, secretly stacking +3 zombies/wave and +8% HP each time. Killing speeders is now safe.
v7.0.2 Mobile
  • More play area on phones — tighter topbar, shorter button labels, hidden logo on tiny screens.
  • Sidebar now takes up to 92% of the screen on small phones — much easier to read tower stats.
  • Sidebar toggle moved to a side tab on the right edge so it's no longer in the way of placing towers.
  • Trimmed sidebar padding so more towers fit without scrolling.
v7.0.1 Visuals
  • New zombie battlefield background on loading screen, main menu, and level select.
v7.0.0 Major Update
  • Campaign mode: 100 stages with star ratings, locked/cleared progression.
  • Bloons-style loadouts: towers unlock as you climb stages.
  • Background unlocks at stages 10 / 25 / 50 / 75 / 100.
  • Endless mode unlocks after clearing Stage 50.
  • Boss stages every 10 levels — boss spawns on the final wave.
  • Boosts now apply correctly in both Campaign and Endless modes.
  • Removed all music & sound code (silent build).
  • Dead-code cleanup, formatting pass.
