- Bigger gore-red Minis (r10->14, sprite 32->48) with regenerated art
- Wider, walkable doorways: clear passage for open, teeth only when locked
- 500ms spawn telegraph so wave spawns no longer blindside the player
- Item stickiness ramps 10%/owned item (cap 50%) instead of flat 50%
- Title-screen Pressure Dial (-5..+5) tunes rise/relief; score x live pressure
- Vitals HUD: two-row hearts, half-container outlines, half-heart shield pips
- Readable 8-page field manual (bigger panel + fonts, implants split)
- HUD opacity slider in pause menu (boss bar + toasts stay opaque)
- Scrap Feed now has diminishing returns like Thick Hide
- Docs, cache-bust v37, and smoke coverage for all of the above
A [?] HELP button (or H key) on the pause screen opens a seven-page
technical manual: controls, run loop, arsenal, mutations, implants,
bestiary and pressure/defense math. List pages render live from the
WEAPONS/ITEMS/PERKS/ENEMY_TYPES/BOSS_DEFS tables so values never drift.
Also unifies the sfxbank fetch cache-buster with the v36 bump.
The perk now grants a 3% roll per stack to mend half a heart on combat
room clears instead of a guaranteed heal. Worm Gut's guaranteed room
heal is unchanged; the new roomHealChance stat is separate.
Custom app:// privileged protocol (standard, secure, fetch, stream) serves
the game so absolute /assets/ fetches and streamed mp3 loops work without
game code changes. Borderless windowed fullscreen, F11/F12/Ctrl+R/Ctrl+Shift+I
accelerators, single-instance lock, and an opt-in MS_VERIFY harness that
drives a run and dumps asset/audio diagnostics.
Pinned electron@40.10.2 + electron-builder@25.1.8 for Node 20 compatibility.
Builder allowlist ships only runtime content and excludes assets/raw.
