• Added feedback to unlocking the weapon mods in your run.
  
• Added feedback and a small effect above the player when collecting ammo to indicate what you've just collected.
  
• Added an icon to your health bar if you have the „Beyond Death“ upgrade available. This does prevent you from death once, and you can now see if it's available for you or not.
  
• Added a credit display to your skill tree during the run so you can better see how much re-rolls are possible or if synergies with upgrades make sense.
  
• Added a new type of info box when you cleared a floor where you have to climb to the next floor afterwards. This will prevent confusion if there is a sudden platforming transition.
  
• We added a pause for the timer if you enter the Overcharge menu if you are currently in a Time Rift.
  
• Increased the duration for which Perk/Mission text popups are visible. This will make it easier to see what you actually got and give you more time to read it.
  
• Reworked the player trail when you start the combo to make it more subtle and to not overlay with your helm particles so much.
  
• Added UP/DOWN Arrows when you start the combo system.
  

Bugfixes
