[h2]Update Log[/h2]

• Fixed a type error of the Reflex Barrage upgrade.
  
• The My Upgrades list is now sorted from oldest to newest.
  
• Added buttons to join the QQ group and Discord server on the main menu.
  
• To optimize late-game performance, barrage bullets will now merge when there are too many bullets on screen.
  
• Now, clicking on an owned pet in the Pet Shop page will equip it and switch to the Equip page.
  
• Increased the Blast Area of the Blast I/II/III power-ups.
  
• Added and updated some upgrade icons.
  
• Defender skill energy cost factor: 9 → 5 .
  
• Ranger Module Reckless Dash energy cost factor: 9 → 5 .
  
• Added a game parameter Extra Difficulty: a mechanic that shifts future difficulty forward, replacing some parameter modifications in Challenges and Multi-level, making the actual difficulty at different stages of the game more reasonable.
  
• The specific effects of Extra Difficulty can be check in the tooltip for the related game parameters.
  
• The Extra Difficulty value will also be displayed at the top right corner of the combat scene.
  
• Multi-level challenge rework: No longer increases Minion HP, Hexagon Enemy, and Enemy Damage. Reduced the increase in Boss HP, and added Extra Difficulty increase.
  
• Removed 5 challenges: Fierce Offensive, Better Minion, Better Boss, Hard Training, Advanced Challenge.
  
• Temporarily added 9 Extra Difficulty levels challenges (for testing extreme cases, not a formal design).
  
• Game parameter Minion Spawn: Reduced growth at all levels and removed the explosive growth mechanic after level 100.
  
• Game parameter Level Duration base value: 30 → 40 .
  
• Game parameter Minion HP: No longer jumps abruptly every 10 levels, but increases smoothly between every 10 levels, to better fit the Multi-level mechanic.
  
• Game parameter Boss HP: Slightly reduced growth at all levels.
  
• Game parameter Enemy Damage: Since it is no longer directly increased by Challenges and Multi-level, but indirectly increased through Extra Difficulty, its main growth now returns to the level itself. Increased growth before level 100 and removed the explosive growth mechanic after level 100.
  
• Increased enemy spawn interval by 100% and enemy count per wave by 200%.
  
• Increased level progress gained from destroying minions by 100%.
  
• Increased the base size of all minions and bosses by 50%.
