New · Sound across the board: towers firing, fires crackling, engineers welding. · An end-of-demo send-off from the Grillmarshal, plus a wishlist button and Endless unlocked. · A two-minute survey at the end, so you can tell me what you think. · A night counter while you play, and the end boss now arrives with an escort. Tidied up · Simpler bug reporting: a summary line, a type picker, send as…
Cheers for all the reports so far, they have been a massive help. This update is live now on the Playtest. Here is what has changed. Fixed from your reports · Losing works properly again. Losing a night once no longer made it impossible to lose afterwards. Sorted. · Speed control no longer sticks. The game speed stops jamming at 1x after you replay a wave. · Fire gnomes know when to stop. They…
A quick note from me. I have just widened the Clearance Defence playtest to a lot more players, so welcome, and thank you for giving it a go. It is still very much a work in progress. I am building it on my own, with a few contractors helping on art and audio, so every bit of feedback t is genuinely useful and important to me. What would help me most · Tell me what felt good and what felt rough…
Night 2 now always walks you through putting civilians to work — on-screen prompts highlight exactly what to tap, so your production line gets going. · The top bar is clearer: the base manager is now a labelled Safe Zone button, and the see-through toggle is now X-Ray . · Tidied up the tooltips across the Safe Zone panel — they're now easier to read and actually explain what each button does. F…
Added · 🐞 In-game bug reporter — send us a report straight from the menu (or pause), with your session log attached automatically · 🧯 The extinguisher now puts out fires on your own structures as its foam passes over them Fixed · Bosses no longer get stuck shuffling around walls and towers · Walls only slow enemies once they're actually built (no more phantom slow on unbuilt walls) · Safe-zon…
This update is mostly stability and polish: the big wave-9 frame-rate cliff is gone (smooth 60 fps even at 70+ enemies), boss fights now trigger reliably, and a long list of Night 2/3 bugs around navigation, evacuation and production are fixed. Enemy difficulty now also adapts quietly to how well you're playing.
Night 3 ships with a finale scene, a tougher boss (Foreman Pudding, 22k → 40k HP), and a rebalanced wave ramp. Your workforce, civilians, and sealed stock now carry between nights. Building a FOB is the first objective every night, and the briefing skip button no longer hangs. Build includes many other fixes and QOL improvements.
Save during the post-wave-10 truce now correctly reloads back into truce instead of relaunching wave 10. · Half-filled and sealed boxes survive a manual save/reload (state was previously lost). · "Civilians Saved" counter is now a true lifetime total across nights (was previously per-night, silently lying). · Civilians evacuated from a clearance shelf now spawn in front of the shelf instead of…
Three new wave 10 bosses The -gnome boss variants have been retired. Each night now ends with its own distinct boss: · Sergeant Sizzle — Night 1 · Colour Sergeant Holebert — Night 2 · Foreman Pudding — Night 3 Tower balance · Sniper Tower: +50% range on the branch upgrade. Snipers are now genuinely a long-range option compared to gatling and standard towers. · Boss fights tuned. Bosses no longe…
Save anywhere, resume anywhere. A new Save & Quit on the pause menu captures the exact state of your run — wave, towers, supplies, every structure — and Continue on the main menu drops you straight back in. No more losing a session because you needed to step away. Named manual saves. Save and Load buttons on the pause menu keep titled slots between runs, handy for testing different builds again…
Take direct control of your ammo supply — send resources from the Safe Zone straight to specific towers, push stockpiles to the FOB, and call in resupplies on demand. A redesigned Logistics tab and at-a-glance low-ammo warnings make the whole chain visible mid-wave, so you'll always know where the next dart is coming from.
