The game is now more accessible with a responsive HUD and a setting to adjust the HUD scale, compensation filters for color blindnesses, and improved color contrast for identifying allies and enemies.
In terms of game balance, the explosive belt of the kamikaze and the saber of the ninja has been nerfed, as they were a bit too powerful. I listened to the feedback of players and also increased the speed of all projectiles. A good aiming will now be more rewarding!
