🎮 Endless Mode: Where Time Goes to Die
First time in Endless Mode? Grab your energy drinks and kiss your social life goodbye! Here's what you're signing up for:
The "Basic" Stuff (That'll Still Kill You)

- Boss fights every 50 waves (hello darkness my old friend)
- 15 starter cost limit (time to be toxic!)
- Your party swaps when biomes change (because why not?)
🔥 PRO TIP: Don't get attached to your stat boosts - they disappear faster than my will to live during wave 4999!
