• Added in-game leaderboards.
• Adjusted internal wall visuals and x-ray effect to make walls more readable.
• Missing the beat when reloading was punished by long reload time. It disrupted the gameplay flow so we changed that mechanic:
  • Reloading happens now always instantly even when reloading offbeat.
  • When reloading to the beat, you will get special ammo that deals double damage.
  • All weapon damages are adjusted to this change, so when playing to the beat, the balancing stays the same.
• Fixed a bug that caused players to get stuck on level 3.
• Fixed various smaller issues.
