2023-04-17
[IMPROVED]

- Fast track mode now starts next wave once last block from previous wave is spawned.
- Options in scroll views now animate to the correct scroll value so it is less jarring when items are selected.
- Block types with updated color schemes.
- Press button to join UI updated.
[NEW]

- iOS ProMotion (120Hz) support settings option.

[FIXED]
- Bugs when setting field of view in menu scene
- Bugs where nade/charge shot animations were still playing while paused.
- Bugs where buttons could be clicked on while scroll views were in motion.
- Block collisions that caused a memory leak.
- Memory leaks where the game would check for achievements on every block explosion. This caused framerates to degrade over time as the score increased and is likely the cause of the majority of crashes people have been having.
