NEW
- Golems are here: a Golem Egg from the store hatches a random golem, and every golem you own stands beside you in the mine and boosts you with its skills.
- Golems level up from the ore you break; hatching another copy of the same golem raises its stars and the power of its skills.
- While a golem's skill is active, a ring in the golem's color spins at its feet.
- Nightmare tiers: once you defeat a boss, its endless Nightmare tiers unlock; each tier makes the boss stronger, the rewards bigger and drops rarer Upgrade Stones.
- When your critical chance goes over 100%, the extra keeps increasing your critical damage.
- The Statistics page now shows Abyss, Nightmare and login reward counters.
- The Activity Log now records login rewards, hourly gold, offline earnings, trades, Ascensions and pickaxes unlocked by floor.

- Converting Upgrade Stones to a higher tier now costs an Ore Stone fee.
- Character experience now comes only from broken ore; levels were recalculated once under this rule.

- Worker income now scales with your progress.
