  • ✦ Cosmic Events — A Reason to Stay Watching

  • The game now feels a little less idle — in a good way.

  • Instead of production bonuses quietly triggering on their own, a glowing star now appears somewhere on the tree canvas every few minutes. You have 25 seconds to click it before it fades away. Miss it, and the bonus is gone.

  • Each star carries a random cosmic event — from a gentle ×2 production boost to a blazing ×5 surge lasting just a few seconds. Clicking it activates the bonus immediately, shown as a progress bar at the bottom of the screen.

  • It's a small thing, but it gives you a reason to glance back at the game every now and then.

  • ◐ Dark Prestige Points — New Symbol

  • The Dark Prestige currency has been rebranded from ϼ to ◐. No gameplay change. Just a cleaner, more readable symbol that better reflects the half-light, half-dark nature of the mechanic.

  • Ascension Tree :

  • The Ascension tree has been reorganized to feel more like an actual tree:

  • - Shadow Awakening is now the root node — free, and the first thing you unlock after ascending

  • - All other nodes unlock progressively as you purchase their prerequisites, rather than all appearing at once

  • - A new node, Protocol Heritage, allows the Delta tree to survive Ascension

  • - Lines now connect all nodes visually

Fixed

  • - Fixed Ascension resetting Classic Prestige Points and Dark Prestige Points

  • - Fixed auto-buy accidentally triggering Prestige, Dark Prestige, and Ascension

  • - Fixed delta nodes auto-buying Prestige and Dark Prestige nodes

  • - Fixed Dark Prestige tree nodes being unclickable after the prerequisite rework

  • - Fixed earning 0 ◐ after a Dark Prestige in some cases

  • - Space bar now centers the view on the Awakening node

  • - The Omega Protocol node has been renamed to Delta Protocol

  • - Event star icon color fixed — was invisible against the dark background

  • - Prestige and relic unlock notifications no longer overlap
