v0.6 — Site Launch Prep

September 15, 2026

• Added Google Analytics 4 and prepared Google AdSense integration.
• SEO pass: structured data, sitemap, robots.txt, a full Privacy Policy, plus new content pages — How to Play, Tips & Strategies and this dev log.
• Share image and favicon so the game looks right in social cards and browser tabs.

v0.5 — New Site Layout

September 15, 2026

• Rebuilt the page layout: domain masthead, score boxes, New Game button and rules blurb — inspired by classic web-game portals.
• Reserved a dedicated advertising band at the bottom so the arena never overlaps ads.
• Responsive fixes for portrait phones: the header and language picker no longer collide.

v0.4 — Feel & Reach

September 15, 2026

• 24 interface languages with right-to-left support (Arabic, Urdu, Hebrew…), switchable in-game.
• Virtual joystick on touch devices — the joystick appears wherever your thumb lands.
• Enemy spawn warning redesigned into a twinkling red star-dot with a 1-second fuse.
• White bullets now paint a red ripple across the wall on impact, so you always see where your bullet died.
• Balance: smaller arena and faster bullets to shorten time-to-hit; ripples now fade within a quarter of the circle.
• Five-level screen shake on fire, bounce, kill and death.

v0.3 — Fairness Pass

September 14, 2026

• Fire rate slowed to one bullet every 2 seconds — every shot must be a decision.
• Enemies now spawn staggered, one every 0.5 seconds, with a visible warning.
• Enemies spawn on the side opposite to you — no more instant-death spawns at your feet.

v0.2 — Core Mechanics Locked

September 14, 2026

• Waves now arrive on a timer and enemies accumulate — the arena only gets more crowded if you don't clear it.
• Enemies rebuilt as billiard balls: they lock a straight path at spawn and only change direction by bouncing. No chasing, ever.
• The wall ripples only when a bullet hits it — a calm ring means a clean slate.

v0.1 — First Playable

September 14, 2026

• The whole game in one rule: white bullets kill enemies; bullets that bounce off the wall turn red, and red bullets kill you.
• Wave-resonance ripple wall, triangle ship locked to face the center, +100 per kill, persistent best score.
