Global:
- HIT RINGS: none anywhere. The per-hit s.ring calls are gone; contacts use the STYLE melee layer (a ring-free flash, a small tear and a spurt at HIGH+).
- COUNTER: "N HIT(S)" at the left, 26 px, about 70% opacity, muted gold; it fades after the spike.
- MAPS: plays on 16 of 18 maps.
  - The Deep skips by design (deep: 'skip').
  - Rooftops skips on ROOM: it fits 300 units of SPACE but not the 298-unit room fit.
- Perf p95: 2.5 ms at XT, 1.4 ms at HIGH, 1.3 ms at VL.
- playall: 6 levels, 0 problems.
