Here is sneak peak at one of the enemy hero types we are working on for the fulll release... Munchkins enters the dungeon as high-health slow moving units, but they pack some tiny surprises. On defeat, a Munchkin spawns a group of smaller, faster Munchkins which can quickly get overwhelming if not dealt with! Higher-level Munchkins spawn with the Hat of Mischief item. Be wary as when you defeat…

Small balance patch for the demo · Boss difficulty scaled down - we were finding new players were struggling with the difficulty spike a bit too much · Emerald ore cost: 3 -> 2 - unfortunately, this means if you update the client while having an active save, there may be a bit of weirdness where existing ores will have the old cost, while newly spawned ores will have the new cost · Rain of arro…

Here's a little development log about the mining mechanic in Underground Security Inc! One of the tower-defense elements we wanted to include is the ability for players to affect enemy pathing.

This allows players to expand the dungeon unlocking new spaces to place build…
