// noom's td — major overhaul
- Tower redesign — each tower now has a distinct visual identity: SENTINEL (twin turret barrels), APEX (hex body + long barrel), CRYO (snowflake), BURST (round bomb + fuse), BEAM (rotating diamond), SIEGE (heavy dome), VORTEX (spinning arms), EMP (ring + lightning)
- Enemy redesign — each enemy type has a unique shape: FAST is an arrowhead, SCOUT a forward triangle, TANK a hexagon, REGEN has rounded corners, SPLITTER has a visible crack, VOID is a circle, ELITE a pentagon, BOSS an octagon with a rotating outer ring
- Boss health bar — when the Pressure Core is alive a prominent health bar appears at the top of the canvas with HP readout
- Screen shake — boss kills, life loss, and elite kills all produce physical screen shake
- Kill combo system — rapid kills trigger COMBO ×N / FRENZY ×N / SIGNAL SURGE ×N with gold bonuses and canvas flash
- Wave phase display — canvas shows VANGUARD → ASSAULT → FINALE as the wave progresses, colour-coded
- Enemy threat count — live remaining-enemy count shown on canvas during waves
- Perfect wave streak — no lives lost in a wave gives a scaling gold bonus; consecutive streaks shown in HUD
- Boss and elite death effects — big particle burst + white flash particles on boss kill; smaller version for elites
- Particle friction — particles now slow over time for more natural splatter
- Tower synergy labels updated — ZERO·BEAM, CRYO·BURST, SHATTER, SIGNAL·LOCK, GRAVITY·SIEGE, GRAVITY·BEAM
- Wave lore rewritten — all 35 wave messages sharpened for tone and narrative urgency
- Tower descriptions rewritten — lore-flavored, punchy, mechanically clear
