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 11-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.
