DEATH & REBIRTH

When your HP reaches 0, your character dies. You can create a new character to start fresh.

• All progress is lost (HP, XP, level, streak)

• Your graveyard records fallen characters

• Create a new character anytime after death

• Choose a new difficulty for each life

DIFFICULTY UPGRADE

You can upgrade difficulty at any time, but you cannot downgrade.

• Easy → Medium → Hard (one-way only)

• Higher difficulty = faster HP drain

• Higher difficulty = more XP per action

• Choose wisely - no going back!
