UPDATE 2026.5.31

4 New Defensive Abilities

Survival just got tactical! We’ve added 4 new defensive skills. These will automatically trigger when danger is nearby if they are off their 5-second cooldown:

• Velocitas: Gives you a massive speed boost for 1 second to outrun the swarm.
• Immunitas: Activates your full-duration grace period right when you need it.
• Repello: Fires a defensive kinetic pellet directly toward the closest threat.
• Evado: Instantly pushes your character away from incoming danger.

Status Bar UI & Visual Juice

• Status Effect Bars: We’ve removed the circular shield graphic. Now, active immunity shows as an effect bar with a visible timer text on the left or right of your character. This sets up the UI framework for future status effects! This includes haste effect from Velocitas!
• Reactive Bloom: The arena's intensity now matches your life force! You will experience high bloom at high health, which dynamically lowers as your health drops.
• Pop-Up Animations: Projectiles now have a slick pop-up animation when spawning, and characters will pop visually when pushing or damaging others.
• "Blocked" Feedback: Projectiles that are successfully countered by your trails or other projectiles will now display a clean "Blocked" text when vanishing.

UI & Menu Polishing

• Fixed the visual layout layering in the Skill Tree so indicators no longer hide behind upgrade buttons.
• Fixed a menu selection glitch that happened when switching between mouse and keyboard/controller inputs simultaneously.
• Fixed a bug allowing the language button to still be selected via controller/keyboard while the settings menu was open.

Fixes

• Audio Fix: Fixed a bug where the shooting SFX would fail to play for the additional shots generated by your Attack Burst stats.
• Crash Fix: Resolved a critical crash that occurred when abandoning a match right after an enemy died.
