Troubleshooting
Lightning arc invisible
Check brightness. Lightning renders as bright arcs on dark background. Low brightness makes them hard to see.
Cascade count unclear
The Tempest counter updates per cluster. Watch the counter, not the cascades — it's the authoritative tracker.
No sound on strikes
Thunder SFX separate from music. Check both sliders. iOS first tap required.
Chain seemed to skip positions
Lightning branching is instant — it arcs to final positions. The animation is cosmetic. Results are pre-determined.
Delayed bonus entry
Scatter animation plays before Thunder FS loads. Wait 2-3 seconds.
Touch during chain
Input disabled during active cascades. Wait for chain completion.
