Patch Notes

Mexico, Candy & SuperMarket

• Three new Normal Mode regions, each reached from Cloud Plaza and each with three large maps and its own boss.
• Museum Hard opens Modern 1, Modern 2, Future 1 and Future 2 from the Atrium. These are different wings with their own enemies, gear and bosses.
• Stress and Burn have separate resistance effects. Bring Stress Resist for the Modern wings, Slow Heal for Future 1, and both for Future 2.
• Character Mastery grows through route victories: regular wins grant 1 XP, elites 2, and bosses 10, with reduced credit far behind your progression. Each level adds 3% total final-stat growth, split according to that character's style.
• Lucky Drop lets LUC award extra copies. Drop bonus areas add +2%, +3%, or a rare +7%.
• Equipment collection bonuses now rise from 1% at the first copy to 20% at ten copies. Accessory bonuses remain 0%, 2%, and 5% at one, two, and three copies.
• Gold Draw boss-item chance can reach 3%. Heavy DEF builds have been adjusted. Lifesteal uses your highest effect instead of stacking.
• Death Mode gains a cheaper, stronger skill tree, 40% more skill points, Utility skills, persistent purchased slots, and item locks.
• New portals return to the start of the Maze.

The original Museum is available

Normal Mode includes the Atrium, Stone Age, Civilization I, Civilization II and the Modern Area of Study. The 25-map Museum uses Burn and regeneration, countered by Burn Resist and Slow Heal. Stone, Egypt and The Temple also have Hard Mode routes. The catalog includes the subsequent Museum balance adjustments.

Stat points and subscriptions, fixed

• Fixed: stat allocation. Since v5.5.0 the Confirm button on the stat screen did nothing, so points you placed were never committed. It works again on both platforms.
• Fixed (Android): subscriptions switching themselves off. A Battle Speed x2 or Remove Ads subscription could be cancelled in the game by one failed check with Google Play — often the one that runs the moment the purchase sheet closes. A paid subscription now stays active through a failed check and ends only once the store has stopped confirming it.
• Settings › Data now shows each subscription’s status, so if a purchase ever does not apply, you can see where it stopped.
• Android shipped 26 September; the iPhone and iPad update followed on 27 September.

Void echoes, a fairer Gold Draw, and boss rewards corrected

• Fixed: keys in the Void. The Void’s echoes of The Unmoved, The Bound King and The Empty Seat had lost their monster type, so the Stone, Egypt and Temple keys did nothing against them. They count again.
• The Gold Draw prefers what you have never had. Gear you do not own yet is drawn about ten times as often as gear you already hold. Duplicates still turn up, just far less often.
• Boss rewards corrected. From the Graveyard onward, hard-mode bosses were paying gold and EXP far beyond what they were meant to — one kill could buy a later region’s shop. Every boss now pays in line with the zone it stands in; a handful of normal-mode bosses are trimmed too.
• Egypt and The Temple re-priced. Their gear costs more — about twice as much in Egypt and about ten times as much in The Temple — to match the pace of the ring.
• Fixed: secrets and their achievements. If you found a secret before its achievement existed, it now unlocks the next time you open the game.
• The Cloud Plaza is shown by name in travel and leaderboard lists instead of as “CL01”.
• Android: the game now also installs on older 32-bit (ARMv7) phones.

Fast Travel & Better Loot

• Fast Travel. Jump to any region you have already opened, straight from the menu. Unlocks with Death Mode; not available inside a Death run.
• Drop rates up across the game. Field 3% → 5% (hard 2% → 3%); bosses 1% → 3% (hard 0.75% → 2%).
• Duplicates hurt less. The penalty for copies you already own is halved, so a collection stops stalling near the end.
• LUC matters more. It pays up to four times its old ceiling for drops, and keeps growing the deeper you go.
• Elite monsters drop far more. Bosses you have beaten can reappear in stronger forms with far better drops.
• The Void no longer crowds its pool with foes you have finished, and it keeps its own pity counter.
• Paid bonuses raised with everything else: Loot Boost +0.75% → +1.5%, Lucky Hunter +0.5% → +1%.
• The result screen closes on a tap anywhere except the Fight button. Loadouts can be renamed, and the name shows on the top bar. Your Power score now matches what the leaderboard measures.
• Fixed: locked doors named the wrong boss. Every gate now names the boss it actually needs.

Epoch 4: The Cloud Plaza

• A new route opens. A stair on the west side of the World Gate leads up to the Cloud Plaza, a second hub town with a shop and a save point. No encounters there.
• The stone arch opens onto Stone; from there Stone, Egypt and The Temple form a ring you walk round — 24 maps, 132 monsters, and three bosses: The Unmoved, The Bound King and The Empty Seat.
• The new road is not kind to the empty-handed. Something the hard route drops is worth carrying on.
• The hard route grows. Hard mode now continues past the Graveyard — Korea, London and Monochrome each gain a hard half.

The Void & the Maze (Hard)

• Fully-looted monsters return to the Void rarely rather than disappearing from it, so the pool stops thinning as you complete it. Bosses show up there less often.
• The Void is capped per item: 1 copy of a boss drop, 2 of an accessory, 5 of other gear. Everything past that has to come from the monster’s own map. The drop panel reads “VOID MAX” once you are there.
• Some Void encounters are now hollow — “204 No Content”. They fight and pay gold and EXP like any other battle, but they carry no items.
• Hard Ice, America and Amazon are reachable. Those three doors needed a key boss that was never the one named on the message, and behind it sat a requirement for Normal-mode clears that was never meant to be there.
• Eight Maze items could not be obtained at all. They drop now.

World Gate rebalance, and the win streak you could never see

• Winning battles in a row multiplies gold and EXP up to 2×, and it was never shown anywhere. The multiplier now appears on the map, in battle and on the victory screen. A loss resets it to zero, which is why rewards dropped off after a death.
• World Gate is easier in both modes: all five bosses eased, and monster resistances lowered across Japan, Greece and the Military Yard. Nothing was made harder.
• “Equip Best” no longer unequips Chaos Heart, and gear AP applies the moment the accessory is worn instead of needing a re-equip.
• Boss relic effects were stacking with no ceiling. Heartwood’s lifesteal is now 3% Normal / 5% Hard, Nine-Dragon adds one shield layer per copy, and First Dead’s dodge sits inside the 20% cap. Nothing already held was removed.
• Shield is back to a full 50% of max HP.
• The +20% gold reward was paying less than 20%: salvage gold was never counted toward the run total. Gold exchanged from diamonds now counts as well.
• The Void map no longer sends monsters whose drops you have already completed, and a Void boss now offers both of its unique drops — the second one could never appear there before.
• “CRITICAL!” and “COMBO!” appeared in English in every language. Ads return to the preferred network after a temporary outage instead of staying on the fallback.

Everything to Monochrome

• The route past the Amazon now runs nine legs and four new regions: the Graveyard (10 maps), Korea (8), London (8) and Monochrome (20), ending in three bosses at the end of everything.
• Hard Mode mirrors for the Maze, Ice, America and the Amazon, each with its own monsters and gear.
• Every stat earns a second job. ATK: combo chains grow a combo multiplier, so past the first tier every extra hit multiplies like a critical. HP: shields come in layers, each a full pool. DEF: blocks reflect harder tier by tier, and a DEF-focused build unlocks Guard tiers that cut every hit taken.
• Going all-in on one stat is a real build — every all-in build is measured to land within 25% of a balanced one.
• Gold Draw: every coin staked raises the chance toward 100%, and overflow pays more — stake 100× the ask for a second item, 10,000× for a third.
• A region’s shop and item list appear after your first kill there. The last map of each region opens a portal back once its boss falls.
• Difficulty is the only gate. Every door opens when you can survive what is behind it.

Complete regional data, clearer guides, and corrected artwork

• Refreshed the companion catalog to 595 route monsters, 999 public collection items, 31 bosses, 68 maps, 624 zones, 25 characters, and 62 achievements.
• Added the complete Maze, Ice, America, and Amazon equipment and monster artwork, plus all six regional boss images.
• Corrected distinct monster archetypes that previously shared artwork in the Rotunda and three Maze gate maps.
• Reworked the player guides around first-run help, stuck-run recovery, unlock order, current live content, and the next chapter.

World Gate hard mode rebalanced

• Critical-damage resistance in World Gate hard mode now scales with your agility. Previously a single critical hit could end even the final boss fight regardless of your equipment.
• The Archangel Sovereign now has more health and hits less hard, so the fight lasts long enough for your gear to matter.
• Fixed dodge resistance in the first half of World Gate hard mode, where it previously had no effect.
• Hard mode now takes roughly twice as many battles per map, and every region boss remains beatable. World Gate normal mode is unchanged.

iPad readiness, World Gate balance, and calmer ads

• Prepared the iOS project for a universal iPhone and iPad release, including iPad orientations, safe-area layout checks, and the complete App Store icon set.
• Rebalanced the two World Gate accessory expansion slots: slot 11 costs 1Q gold and slot 12 costs 1Qi gold, using the same abbreviated number format shown elsewhere in the game.
• Added a three-minute cooldown to the automatic run-over video ad after any full-screen video ad starts. Ads remain enabled; only the automatic run-over ad is temporarily skipped during that window.
• Added launch-event and future World Gate event deep-link routing for App Store in-app events.
• Refreshed the companion data and World Gate artwork from the current Unity project, including the latest enemy placements and the 25-character roster.

New worlds, deeper stats, and battle presentation

• Implemented the World Gate expansion: 19 maps across Japan, Greek, Military, and Heaven, with new route monsters, 5 bosses, equipment, and 6 new achievements. The entrance remains sealed in the current hotfix build, so the site labels this content as an upcoming preview.
• Extended large-number progression beyond the previous integer ceiling with new stat suffixes for World Gate scaling.
• Added and refreshed monster artwork across the expanded bestiary, plus the complete set of available map backgrounds and newer item art.
• Reduced Normal Grassland monster and boss HP, ATK, and resistance pressure to roughly two-thirds of their prior values; other regions and modes are unchanged.
• Improved combat readability with solid HP bars, distinctive damage numbers, stronger attack/combo/critical effects, varied regional battle backgrounds, a scrollable battle log, and a clearer result screen.
• Corrected directional movement presentation across the character roster and improved HUD spacing, localized labels, analytics precision, and ad-request safeguards.

Infinite Loot-Loop launches on the App Store

• Infinite Loot-Loop is now available as a free download for iPhone and iPad.
• The launch build requires iOS 15.0 or later and includes cloud save, offline play, and complete Normal and Hard Mode progression systems for the open main route. The current project roster contains 25 heroes.
• The official companion wiki now links directly to the live App Store listing and includes a first-hand developer design note about the AP economy and balance process.

Mobile services, encounters & result polish

• Fixed iPhone touch-and-hold movement: hold an empty part of the map to move, drag to steer, and release to stop.
• Holding near the character now fills the Encounter Gauge, letting players seek a battle without leaving their current spot.
• UI buttons and open menus now correctly block movement without decorative HUD layers swallowing map touches.
• Gold purchases now require Purchase / Cancel confirmation, and unaffordable item, character, and slot buttons are disabled.
• Improved rewarded-ad recovery for revives and run-over gold, banner positioning between runs, and App Store purchase availability feedback.
• Redesigned the premium Store, item-drop result card, and equipment-upgrade indicator for clearer visual hierarchy.
• Corrected normal item drops to one shared 3% roll per victory, and made recommended equipment stand out with a dedicated BEST badge.
• Improved mobile readability for EXP and permanent stats, added clear Set purchase feedback, and reduced the overworld character size by 10%.
• Rebalanced permanent item bonuses to 1% on the first copy and 3% at full completion, with existing saves recalculated from owned items.
• Added full-edge safe-area padding for notches and rounded phone corners, completed battle prompt translations, and standardized Store purchase-button heights.
• Added an optional translucent arrow-control pad for held movement, with a persistent on/off toggle in Settings.
• Gold, EXP, and ATK zone bonuses now use distinct colors, with an ultra-rare rainbow Gold x7 bonus.
• After the first boss victory, the game makes a one-time request for Apple’s native review prompt.
• Improved Forest Upper Gate and Ashen Gate doorway detection, restored the Volcanic-to-Void route in both directions, and focused Witch’s Peak entry on its top-left cave.
• Achievements now have a distinctive colored tab deck for All, Milestones, Combat, Collection, Normal, and Hard categories.
• Erase Data now clearly covers both local and cloud gameplay saves, safely retries an offline cloud deletion on the next online launch, and keeps restorable Store entitlements.
• Added edge-aware camera framing so entrances at the top and bottom of each map stay visible above the Set controls and lower HUD.

Stability & localization pass

• Fixed a hard freeze caused by corrupted enemy EXP values; level-up processing is now capped and EXP/gold are modeled per expected level.
• Comprehensive 15-language localization sweep with a new re-localizing text component (boss / character / item / map names and the stat guide).
• Main-menu Store button fix and a new character nameplate banner.

Balance & polish

• Adventure Point economy reconciled: 30 AP base · 4–6 AP on death · +3 AP per boss. Death now keeps your level, EXP, and gold.
• Achievement stat bonuses are now derived from the unlocked set (no inflation, syncs across devices).
• Full Reset now wipes all permanent progress.
• Forest doorways re-laid (FR_03/FR_04) with zone levels flipped; central anti-stuck spawn corridor added.
• Battle panel forced full-screen with a run-over tap guard; live derived stats in the stat panel; equipment icon blur fix.
• Biome BGM name-matching fix; several doorway/trigger retunes across Forest, Volcano, Desert and Underwater.

The game so far

• Public routes extend from the five starting worlds through the World Gate, Maze regions, Graveyard, Cloud Plaza, and the Museum, with Mexico, Candy and SuperMarket now available.
• The live catalog contains public maps, monsters, bosses, collection items, 25 characters, and achievements, with mode-specific stats and rewards.
• Hard Mode, grouped settings, and 15-language localization.
• Cloud save deployed and live; real in-app purchases wired up.
