This table presents critical gameplay data, including average DPS, interval counts, room duration, and damage dealt.
Using these metrics, the wasted time in each room was calculated, highlighting inefficiencies where players spent time without killing enemies.
The red-highlighted areas indicate rooms that require redesign, as they exhibit a significant percentage of wasted time from the room duration.
These findings help identify problematic rooms, ensuring better pacing and improved player engagement.

Survival Time-Based Challenge Mode
A time-based room is a type of survival challenge room where the player must endure and survive for a specified duration, facing continuous enemies and increasing difficulty over time.
And to support balancing and game design decisions, I exported JSON file recording all the game events along the run

Daily Challenge Mode
Dynamic system featuring a room with multiple challenges, each treated as a quest with completion percentages contributing to the overall room progress.
Enemy difficulty and XP rewards scale dynamically based on progress. The system reuses the logic from the Survival Time-Based Challenge, adding mid-bosses and a final boss to create a structured progression.
