Hey Slayers!

This update focuses on reworking progression, difficulty scaling, and scoring to create a smoother and more satisfying long-term experience.

Score System Update

The Mythic+ system has been removed to test a simpler and more transparent leaderboard approach. Gameplay now follows a more classic horde-survival structure:

Survive endlessly against waves of enemies. Objectives loop and grant bonuses each round.

Leaderboard score is now calculated based on:

Scores remain separated by player count and map .

Difficulty Tuning

Enemy scaling is now significantly tougher over time. Player scaling has been improved to better match the increased challenge.
