Readability Settings
Readability Settings| Setting | Why it matters |
|---|
| Combat clarity preset | Cycles Default, Clear, and Minimal combat-clarity presets during runs. |
| CRT intensity | Controls the CRT overlay strength; lowering it improves readability. |
| Screen shake | Controls hit and impact shake; reduce it when boss or elite waves are hard to read. |
| Gameplay flash intensity | Controls combat flashes and strong feedback effects. |
| Barrel warp | Controls curved-screen distortion; lower values make the cursor and lanes easier to judge. |
| Chroma | Controls color separation; lower values make dense waves cleaner. |
| Cursor lock | Keeps cursor behavior stable for mouse-focused play. |
Input Notes| Click Attack | Mouse click attacks fire at the cursor. Gamepad click attack uses the bound trigger and right-stick aim behavior. |
|---|
| Consumables | Keyboard uses slots 1-5. Gamepad selects consumables with D-pad left/right and uses the selected slot with D-pad down. |
|---|
| Autopilot | Autopilot is keyboard-only, halves final Bytes, and blocks next-scene unlock credit for that run. |
