v0.3.1 - Improved Gameplay, Smarter AI, and Better Controls


What’s New & Improved

This update focuses on improving clarity, control, and consistency across the game. We’ve addressed several player-reported issues, streamlined combat behaviour, and added helpful UI updates to make unit management easier and more intuitive.

Gameplay Improvements

  • Your population now correctly saves between runs — no more unexpected drops!
  • Adjusted the characters/units for better balance in fights.
  • Units won’t take damage when they’re out of range, and they’ll stop standing still randomly.
  • Units now choose their targets smarter with a combination of closest enemy combined with a priority score ranking, thus making battles less confusing.

Controls & UI Updates

  • You can spawn units quickly using number keys (1, 2, 3…).
  • Units now spawn right above their buttons, so you always know where they’re coming from.
  • Added counters showing your current population and how many units you have on the field.
  • Added run counter and a confirmation popup before resetting the game.

Visual & Performance Enhancements

  • The camera now moves more smoothly with better boundaries.
  • Added object pooling along with multiple other fixes behind the scenes, for better performance.

Thanks for all your feedback and support!
