The block remembers you.
v0.59: Personal Business gives the neighbourhood some unfinished business. Rivals carry a history between runs, characters have clearer cues, and the standard run pushes harder as time passes.
Windows v0.59 is live. Free, single-player and in development.
The Run game button still launches browser v0.42.

1. Rivals with unfinished business
Redline Ray. Collections Carl. Bad Credit Lou. Their meetings and results persist, unfinished business brings the same rival back, and first victories earn a permanent DEBT CLEARED record. Threat memory is capped so rematches have weight without endless scaling.
2. Know when your character is ready
- Rook: visible focus lock, gold charged rounds and a clearer charged hit.
- Velvet: decoy readiness and attacks that commit to the decoy enemies are following.
- Uncle Smoke: clearer pull/push and pulse timing, with a stronger opening bass hit.
3. Tougher streets. Clearer hits.
Warned enemy introductions and short tips ease you into the opening. Fresh standard runs then bring more pressure, earlier threatening enemy mixes, sturdier crew bosses and shorter breaks. New impact sounds and material-matched effects give attacks a stronger response.
Results > Details > Run review shows hits, damage, dodges, character actions and upgrade timing. Start a new v0.59 run for the new balance; continued v0.58 runs keep their original tuning.
Browser v0.42 gameplay. This earlier version remains playable without installing anything.
The question behind this update
Can I give a run more personality and pressure while keeping deaths readable? I want a scrappy loadout to turn into Rottweiler stampedes and traffic-light shockwaves, with enough room left to spot the next hit.
If you try v0.59: does the opening teach enough, do rivals make you want a rematch, and can you tell what killed you? Include your character, weapons and survival time.
