Getting hit by a gnome, a vortex or a snowball costs a heart.Your hearts appear in the top-right and pulse gently.After a hit you're briefly invulnerable and blink red, so a whole crowd can't take you down instantly.Lose all your hearts and it's over — you'll Prestige automatically.Prefer a chill run? Toggle Easy Mode in the main menu to play without health.Down to your last heart? The music turns tense until you heal back up.⚡ New Prestige UpgradesVitality — +1 max heart per level (up to 8).Iron Skin — longer invulnerability after each hit.Regeneration — heal fully every time you gain a Prestige level.Life on Pickup — power-ups heal you a bit.Frigid Aura — being hit releases a freezing wave around you.🍄 MushroomsMushrooms are now fully crushable, just like gnomes — squash them if you're big enough, or bounce off.They sway idly, and gnomes gather around them more naturally.🌪️ Desert VortexesThe vortex now makes itself felt: a red flash, screen shake and a hit sound while it drains you.🎬 The Big FinishDefeating the King Gnome is now a real spectacle — slow motion, a cinematic zoom and a huge shockwave.Credits only roll the first time you beat the game; after that, keep crushing to climb the leaderboard.🔊 SoundGnomes have footsteps now.Your rolling movement sound plays only while you're moving.🛠 FixesZone barriers push you back without hurting you.Your hearts are saved when you leave and come back.

(The player stone has no shadow.)🎨 Prettier PathsThe paths got a visual pass: smoother gradients and cleaner edges, so the world reads better at a glance.💨 Fragment TrailsThe orbiting-fragment trails have been reduced, so they're cleaner and you can actually see the stones.🛠 FixesCamera shake no longer goes overboard when you crush a whole crowd.Effect overlays sit behind the UI, damage above gold; scene transitions draw on top.Fixed music sometimes playing two tracks at once when changing zones.
