Dear Pilots,

Were excited to announce an update to PolyDestroyer! This update introduces a brand-new infinite waves system and many improvements to enhance your adventures. Heres whats new:

[h2]New Features & Improvements:[/h2]

• Infinite Waves System: Dive into endless combat with the new infinite waves system, testing your skills against limitless enemies.
  
• Visual Damage Indicator: Enemies now flash red when damaged, improving combat feedback.
  
• Streamlined Wave Screen: Weve removed version numbers from the wave start screen, decluttering your screen. Version info is now exclusively on the title screen.
  
• Steam Overlay Interaction: Closing the Steam overlay no longer unpauses the game.
  
• FPS Counter Update: The FPS counter is now disabled by default. You can enable it on the pause screen.
  
• Temporary Removal of Graphics Settings: Weve hidden the graphics settings temporarily as we work on fixing their functionality.
  
• Store Page Revamp: Weve made the store page sleeker and more intuitive. UI elements have been optimized to prevent overlap and ensure everything fits perfectly within the borders. Additionally, cosmetics and weapons now have their own headings for easier navigation.
  
• Credits Panel Background: A new background has been added to the credits panel, matching the shop and pause screen style.
  
• Wave and Enemy Adjustments: Waves now spawn a set amount of enemies, eliminating infinite spawning based on experience points. The experience system has been removed, and a new on-screen indicator shows the number of enemies remaining. Plus, enemy indicators have been introduced to guide players towards off-screen enemies.
  
• Store Refresh & Weapon Unlock Pop-Up: The store page now refreshes unlocked weapons correctly, and a new pop-up notifies you of newly unlocked weapons, complete with a close button and a 5-second timeout.
