Changes
What's changed in LoopDrop with each update.
🎁 Added
- Lobby player activity statuses now show what players are doing in real time, including mini games, cases, X Balls, slots, duels, Neon Hockey, Rain Catch, Chaos Boards and Fever.

- Ball trails are now short tapered streaks: full width near the ball, then smoothly thinner at the end.
- Trail rendering now adapts during busy scenes, so heavy Rain Catch or Chaos moments keep the same feel with less visual/render cost.
- Lobby status text was cleaned up so players can read current activity without crowding the roster.
🪛 Fixed
- Fixed event/menu input overlap so side buttons do not steal clicks while another panel is open.
- Fixed Rain X icon alignment and small upgrade text clipping after the new Rain upgrade pass.
- Gave Day and Week leaderboard visibility another pass so active legitimate players are less likely to be hidden or shown as confusing zero rows.
