I said last night's patch was gonna be the last one before the 2.0 update.

Quick patch because apparently, this could happen: I was too good to ever fail at my own levels, and hence could never have found out about this 😎 I'm surprised the new custom level loading system has given no issues other than this one - Enjoy the event y'all!

New Gadget - Axe-o-lotl Based on ideas by Silviu Offtopic (The Romanian OO translator), the Axolotl gadget is ready for her rampage!

She can absolutely decimate hordes of skeletons, but this requires y…

A minor update that makes failing at dodging a lot less punishing (and makes it easier to notice high-danger projectiles during a chaotic level), based on what I've seen players who only play Tower Defense struggle with later on in this game. Also did significant reworks on AoE projectiles as well as enemy pathfinding, based on bugs that I've been told about. If you encountered bugs during your…
