Version 1.36 Released

Version 1.36 is now available.

This update focuses heavily on desktop browser compatibility, HUD stability, responsive layouts, and general interface cleanup, while keeping the existing smartphone experience intact.

After testing the game in desktop browsers such as Microsoft Edge, several layout issues became apparent—especially at larger resolutions and in itch.io fullscreen mode. Some HUD elements were overlapping, the radar/map area could disappear, and certain controls competed for the same screen space.

Version 1.36 addresses these problems at the layout-system level rather than simply moving individual elements around.

What’s New

• Fixed the missing radar/map issue on desktop resolutions.
• Fixed an HUD positioning conflict that could cause the ammo/status interface to interfere with the upper-right UI.
• Reworked the desktop HUD layout for better separation between gameplay information and controls.
• The CPU squad overview now has its own dedicated area and should no longer be covered by the Options button.
• Fixed the Callout Log overlapping the “EDF! EDF!” button.
• Improved positioning for:
  • Options
  • Map/Radar
  • CPU squad information
  • Callout controls
  • Mission information
  • Combat HUD elements
• Added improved handling for compact desktop windows and low-height displays.
• Improved behavior on ultrawide and large desktop resolutions.
• Improved fullscreen layout behavior on itch.io.
• Desktop-specific fixes are now separated from the existing mobile layout rules.

Runtime Stability

A viewport-related runtime error could occasionally appear:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toUpperCase')

This was caused by the responsive layout system referencing an incorrect viewport property.

The issue has been corrected, and additional safeguards have been added around:

• Browser resizing
• Fullscreen transitions
• Screen orientation changes
• Visual Viewport updates
• Responsive HUD recalculation

These systems are now isolated more safely so that a layout problem should not interrupt the game itself.

Mobile Support

The goal of this update was not to improve desktop support at the expense of mobile players.

The smartphone interface continues to use its dedicated layout, including:

• Touch controls
• Mobile HUD positioning
• Safe-area support
• Portrait/landscape handling
• Responsive scaling

Desktop-specific adjustments are now applied independently, making future optimization considerably safer.
