Overview
Late-game and Endless rules, scoring pressure, high-tier progression, and spoiler-gated boss unlocks.
Late-Tier Rules
Late-Tier Rules| Scene or system | Gameplay pressure |
|---|
| Memory Leak | Adds HP drain based on max HP. The drain starts at 0.35% max HP per second and rises slightly on later scenes. |
| Ransomware.exe | Weapon cooldowns are multiplied by 1.75x, making cooldown reduction and burst windows much more important. |
| BRICKED | Stacking decay reduces effective damage, area, and cooldown efficiency by 5% per stack, capped at a 0.55x lower bound. |
| CPU Meltdown | Runs become heavier on visual, audio, and enemy pressure. Readability settings matter here. |
| Heat Death | Enemy time scaling ramps from 1.10x toward 2.10x across the run timeline. |
| void* Abyss | Void mutations can upgrade the enemy roster about every 10 seconds, adjusted by timeline stretch. |
| HALT & CATCH FIRE | Adds the Heat Death time pressure plus an extra +0.22 time-scale push on top of the late-scene stack. |
| Endless | Endless starts from a baseline ruleset, then adds overtime chapters, boss waves, and scaling rewards over time. |
| Overtime boss waves | Late and Endless runs can escalate into dual bosses, triple bosses, boss rush pacing, and overtime sponsor layers. |
Endless Overtime Rules
Endless Overtime Rules| System | Rule |
|---|
| Start | Endless overtime starts after the base run duration. Channel surfing flips immediately, then every 120 seconds. |
| Overtime waves | At 12:00 raw run time and every 30 seconds after, the game adds an elite pack. Every other wave can add a random boss. |
| Elite intensity | Overtime elite packs start at 2 enemies and climb by wave number, capped at +10 intensity. |
| Enemy HP | Uses 1.2x base and gains about +30% per overtime minute before the later diminishing-growth bends. |
| Enemy damage | Uses 1.2x base and gains about +20% per overtime minute before the later diminishing-growth bends. |
| Crowd pressure | Starts from 1.36x and adds about +12% per overtime minute. |
| Elite rate | Elite spawn interval tightens quickly, with a lower bound so it never collapses below 10% of the base interval. |
| Boss click damage | Boss damage scaling softens over overtime, from 0.94x down toward a 0.40x floor. |
| Player scaling | Overtime adds soft-capped damage and HP bonuses, plus uncapped pickup and XP multipliers to keep late levels moving. |
