Vanilla Mode

== Overview ==
Vanilla Mode is considered the standard base mode of Minus Elevation, and was the first game mode to release with the experience during the first testing session, albeit with limited in-game features
== About ==
Generally, Vanilla Mode is often compared to Minus Descendance's core gameplay in the random gameplay sense as every floor and entity are random. The only real changes are the maps not being randomly generated like M.D. but being more open, and items spawning by themselves instead of being upgrade-restricted. 
== Gameplay ==
Vanilla Mode, as mentioned before, is comparable to Minus Descendance's core gameplay. Players descend through an endless amount of floors, press buttons to progress, and avoid entities. When the v1.0 released, also known as the Overhaul Update, Vanilla Mode was removed for some time and replaced with Campaign Mode, but was eventually brought back in v1.16 with Campaign Mode sunsetting for an indefinite amount of time.
Every floor is random; there is no set order. In older versions of Elevation, more specifically pre-v1.0, the map variety was a lot broader, every map was unique, completely different from one another. Post-v1.0, almost every map has shared a consistent theme up until this point, those being Office Maps, 2 "Storage Room" maps, and a singular unique map being the arcade. The Office and Storage maps specifically are generally disliked by the community as there is very little difference from the Office maps and the Storage maps are "too cramped".
Pre-V 1.0, the difficulty scaling worked differently to how it does now. The game would start with 2 entities from floor 1-5, and it would increase to 3 on floor 6, to 4 on floor 11, and finally, 5 on floor 16. These entities were not in a predetermined order and were always random, and their stats did not periodically increase.
== Trivia ==
