Update 0.5.5 New Programs, New Enemies
This update introduces five new programs and three new enemy types that deepen combat and strategy. New programs like INFECT, LINK, and BSOD add damage over time, damage sharing, and mass-stun options, while WARP and the high risk NUKE provide powerful battlefield control at significant cost.
Enemies now include the aggressive Hunter, supportive Medic, and defensive Shielder, supported by new shield and infection DoT systems that make encounters more dynamic and reactive.
On the balance side, enemy HP and damage now scale per sector, Flux drops have been slightly increased, and REFLECT has been made cheaper to cast.
Sector enemy pools have been updated to roll in the new units, including Shielder support for the sector 12 boss. The program pool has expanded from 21 to 26 options, and shop usability has been improved with a new Q keybind to quickly exit.
I'd love your feedback what did you think, and what should I add next?
Thank you for playing and your support.
