Been making progress on things since last update. Here's a peek at what I've got so far:

Apologies for the stuttering, recording in the Unity Editor isn't the smoothest experience.

Multiblock levels. This kind of figures into my plan for "missions" to be sorta like "dungeons" where you clear rooms until you reach an "exit" and finish. Ideally there'd be branching paths per level, maybe differentiated by the "trials" they spawn and the rewards they give when cleared. Trials could be anything from the current "kill everything in a wave" to "defend a thing for X seconds" or similar.

Virtual mouse input for gamepads in menus. Figured it was the least I could do and it shouldn't require extensive reworking if I change menu layouts or something. There's stick movement, clicking and even snapping to the nearest clickable object. Unfortunately, still getting hung up on dragging, so it's still not possible to be completely mouse-free, especially with sliders and scrollbars.

It even works in the pause menu too!

In any case, thanks for sticking around!
