New Programs

• TUMOR: damage you take feeds a tumor HP pool; once it overflows, it bursts into a TumorEnemy that hunts you down and leeches HP on hit.

• HOLLOW: irreversible transformation where HP and Max HP become the same value forever. Damage shrinks both, healing grows both (no cap). Cannot be undone and cant be used with TUMOR.

• MOMENTUM: moving in the same direction builds Velocity (up to 5), and attacks gain +1 damage per Velocity. Turning wipes Velocity and costs 1 HP (only if you had any). Standing still slowly bleeds Velocity. Comes with a HUD velocity bar + direction arrow.

• GAMBLER’S RUN: rewards failed attacks shield blocked hits add Jackpot (+2), and your next successful hit cashes out base damage + Jackpot, then resets.

Balance

• METABOLIZE got toned down: Flux→HP conversion is now 1:1 (was 1:2) to stop infinite sustain setups.
