Update: Build While Paused, Run Summaries & Building Tooltips
This update gives you more time to plan your defenses, adds a clearer look at what you achieved each run, and makes building information easier to find.
Build While Paused
- You can now place buildings while the game is paused using the normal pause control.
- Select buildings, adjust placement brushes and symmetry, and queue a Gunship movement order while planning your next move.
- Hardcore is unchanged: normal pausing remains unavailable.
Run Summaries
- Reaching the third Tech Token milestone in a Standard run now opens a milestone summary. You can select Continue Playing to keep the run going.
- Expanded the game-over screen with whole-run statistics, earned achievements, Tech Token progress, and new unlocks.
- Added visual improvements to make run results easier to read.


Building Tooltips
- Hover over unlocked buildings in the bottom construction bar to see their details before placing them.
- Tooltips include building descriptions and key stats, with payoff information for generators.

Fixes & Improvements
- Fixed difficulty unlocks so qualifying milestones count across all Standard Arenas, including bonus Arenas. Challenge runs remain separate from the Standard difficulty ladder.
- Improved construction-menu visibility and interaction at larger interface scales.
Thanks again for the feedback. Please keep sharing bugs and suggestions in the Steam Community discussions/ reviews! I read all of it :)
