A long overdue feature has been added. You can now play singleplayer without submitting to the leaderboards. This is for those of you who want to cheat but not get banned. Also, Plague Tower has been buffed from 725 damage to 800 damage. This is the one tower that literally everyone agrees is bad. No leaderboard reset as it's highly unlikely any top entries were using Plague Tower in the first…
Peer to Peer Networking We've added Peer To Peer Networking support. Both public and LAN options are available. Public is for playing with anyone anywhere. LAN is for private lobbies within an internal network. It's seamless, just select the appropriate region in game settings. When you do so, a small application is launched in the background (ElementServer.exe). This is a build of the game ser…
With the upcoming 5th year anniversary of Element TD 2, it felt time to release something meaty. We've pushed an alpha build that adds Peer To Peer Networking support. Both public and LAN options are available. Public is for playing with anyone. LAN is for private lobbies within an internal network. It's seamless, just select the appropriate region in game settings. When you do so, a small appl…
There have been issues with scores not submitting to the leaderboards correctly. This has now been fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
Let me start by saying that we don't condone cheating. That said, we don't care if you cheat in singleplayer. But when you cheat for the leaderboard or multiplayer then it hurts other players. If you want to cheat in Element TD 2 and not get banned please keep the below in mind. · Campaign is only singleplayer so you can do whatever you want. · Survival you can exit the match anytime before you…

Last month, we released Version 1.94 , which applied performance updates, quality of life features, and a fresh round of balance. Today's update is a follow-up, touching up on balance and fixing some annoying issues. Improvements & Fixes · Co-op first wave timer can no longer be bypassed · Fixed a bug allowing people to join lobby during countdown · Fix for kick player sometimes not working · F…
In light of Tower Defense Fest starting today, we have decided to delay the upcoming patch until next week. While we'd like to get the bug fixes and improved balance out ASAP, it requires a reset of the leaderboards. With new players expected to try the game, it would be a bad experience for them if the leaderboards are empty. New players get a chance to learn by watching replays. That said, I…
We will be releasing a hotfix next weekend. It will address some outstanding balance concerns. There are also a couple of bug fixes around Co-op start time and joining lobby during countdown. The update will require a leaderboard reset (not ranked).
Just a quick note that version 1.9.4 introduced a bug where Boss Hunt game duration submitted to the leaderboard. This has been fixed. Entries that used Boss Hunt game duration will be removed from the leaderboard. Boss Hunt is meant to quickly practice end game setups. It is not fully accurate in terms of speed multiplier or how much gold you have. That is why it is not eligible for the leader…

It turns out that there will be another major update after version 1.9.4! Our backend developer has decided to rewrite the game server code. This will improve the performance allowing for a smoother multiplayer experience. But more exciting is that we'll be making the game server portable as well. As a result, peer to peer networking will be added to the game! You'll be able to host a lobby wit…
We hired a couple of performance consultants for our other game, Axon TD: Uprising. Thankfully some of the findings there can be applied to Element TD 2! Of particular note is an algorithm change for the unit search function. For those who get low FPS late game, especially in co-op, you will see huge FPS gains. That algorithm change slightly alters the balance of the game. So we will take the o…
The Challenger achievement has been expanded to top 30 on any leaderboard. This version was built with a new build of Unity (our game engine) hence the download size.
A small update for the holidays! · Turkish now fully localized · Setting change to shift some CPU workload to GPU · New and improved servers for South America, South East Asia, and East Asia regions Also, we hired a performance consultant to analyze Axon TD: Uprising and a major recommendation coming out of that in theory should be applicable to Element TD 2. If all goes well, there will be a m…

"It was supposed to be a simple mission. Get in, defend the colony, and get paid. Instead, I found myself trapped on the planet, caught in a war between mankind and a robot uprising. In the end, I'm not sure who I should be fighting for..." Axon TD: Uprising What is Axon TD? Axon TD is a mazing-centric tower defense where you manipulate the map layout to your advantage. Build towers, make the l…
Greetings! It's been a little while since we last posted. 2 months ago, we released the Mazing DLC , and it's gotten overall positive reception. Player counts for the game have been up since then, and we've seen a good influx of new and returning players. As for us, we've been working quietly in the background, both on Element TD 2 ... and maybe a new project. Below is a list of upcoming things…
Fixes and Improvements · Towers now instantly build in Campaign wave breaks. · Health bars have been optimized for performance. · Fixed Casual mode toggle not being remembered when creating multiple lobbies in a session. · Fixed the Casual mode Scoreboard Creep column not accounting for game length. · Fixed an issue where going into a ranked game and then playing single player would result in y…
Fixes and Improvements · Fixed Mazing Campaign not saving progress across different devices via Steam cloud. · Fixed Mission 14 of the Mazing Campaign not ending when all the bosses were killed before creeps were done spawning. · Fixed "Avalanche Avenger" achievement being impossible to unlock. · Fixed Balanced Paths in Co-op not being reflected correctly in replays. · Fixed "No Blocker Limit"…

Fixes & Improvements · In Mazing , creeps speed up each wave. Players were noting creeps were speeding up too fast, especially in later waves, so we scaled it back by roughly 5% to 10% (depending on the stage of the game). · In Casual Mode , what wave each player is on is now listed on the Scoreboard . · Attempted a fix that may reduce the chance of missed events/inputs in Multiplayer. If this…
