It would be an awesome support if you share it with everyone that might enjoy the game.

[h3]Major Changes and Improvements[/h3]

• Random world events on maps now have a new randomisation behaviour resulting in all world events having the same chances to spawn. This is especially notable for the new trial events. They should all now have the equal chances to spawn.
  
• Challenge Window now has new UI and fixed scaling behaviour
  
• Added light rays to Tree of Light
  
• New Color grading system that Color grades the map backgrounds on faded maps and in rifts so that they look exactly like the backgrounds in normal maps

[h3]Balancing:[/h3]

• Emerald Widow eggs required hits to destroy have been reduced to 6 (was 8)
  
• When activating "Prolonged" upgrade in Descent Defense the additional wave from the latest segment will automatically be completed, allowing you to directly start the new segment. As this would allow to just wait for the last defence segment and then apply the upgrades, the cost of the prolonged upgrades now increase by 10 sky gems with each additional segment. The same was applied for the intensify upgrade that now is more expensive when purchased later on to compensate for the lesser risk you take when upgrading on the last defence segment.
  
• Reduced duration of fire trial and Fire Rift boss following fire projectiles
