The Citadel Run — Changelog

v2.0 DEPLOYED: 2026-03-06

IMP Radroach hunt mini-game — reduced roach movement speed by ~20% across all difficulties so they're more hittable

v1.9 DEPLOYED: 2026-03-05

IMP Combat log now renders each exchange on its own line — no more wall-of-text fight summaries

IMP Action descriptions are left-aligned to match their buttons

IMP SCAVENGE and REST descriptions now say 'No miles gained' instead of 'No progress'

v1.8 DEPLOYED: 2026-03-01

IMP Raider Stash — JUST DIG IT UP now pays off more when the booby trap doesn't fire. The reckless dig yields a noticeably bigger haul than playing it safe.

v1.7 DEPLOYED: 2026-02-28

NEW Radroach hunting mini-game — when you spot a pack in the wasteland, choose to hunt them in a real-time canvas shooter. Aim with WASD or arrow keys, fire with SPACE. Kills earn food; escaping roaches deal damage. Harder difficulties mean faster roaches, tighter hitboxes, and more shots needed to kill.

v1.6 DEPLOYED: 2026-02-27

NEW Carry limits — each difficulty now caps how much food, water, and ammo you can carry, and how many items fit in your pack. Easy is most generous; Hard is ruthlessly tight. Overflow is discarded and logged.

IMP Resource HUD now shows current / max for food, water, and ammo, and inventory shows slots used vs. available

v1.5 DEPLOYED: 2026-02-25

NEW Difficulty levels — choose Easy, Medium, or Hard when starting a run, each with different starting resources, encounter frequency, and scavenge rewards

IMP Leaderboard now shows difficulty — compare runs across all skill levels

v1.4 DEPLOYED: 2026-02-25

FIX HP bar now correctly reflects damage taken during won combat — the bar no longer stays full after surviving a fight

v1.3 DEPLOYED: 2026-02-25

IMP Seed column added to All Runs leaderboard — every run now shows its seed for replay

v1.2 DEPLOYED: 2026-02-25

NEW Global leaderboard — top survivor runs ranked by distance and turns

NEW Seed system — share your run's seed so others can attempt the same wasteland

IMP Resource clamp on death — stats display correctly when food or water hits zero

FIX Back button no longer stacks game state in browser history

NEW Branching event choices — encounters have multiple outcomes based on your decision

IMP Journey progress bar — visual mile tracker with distance overlay
