📈 Version History: Key Balance Changes

The game has been actively updated with several important balance changes that affect strategy:

Version	Key Changes to Strategy
ver1.3	Introduced a rework for the Bullet x/4 tower/upgrade path.
ver1.4	Generally easier gameplay across All game modes. The Bullet x/4 received a buff (making it stronger), while the Booster money path was nerfed/reworked (likely making earning money slower or less efficient). Particle x/3 & x/4 were also buffed.

The latest version, ver1.4, suggests the developer wants a less punishing experience overall, with specialized towers (Bullet, Particle) becoming stronger, but a key economic path (Booster money path) being toned down to maintain challenge through slower financial growth. Fullscreen is recommended for the best experience!
