A New Threat Emerges!

💥+New Game Plus+💥

We've been listening to feedback and working for a while since launch and the biggest feedback anyone has had is that players love the game so much that they want more game to play!

🫡Message Received!🫡

With that we'd like to introduce New Game Plus ...

  • New Enemy Behaviors

  • New Balance Numbers

  • New Achievements!

In addition to that we've compiled several points of feedback and made improvements to ...

  • Optimizations for smoother gameplay, especially later levels

    • Some players reported hitching and slow downs when enemy waves got truly intense and we've made some changes that should mitigate if not remove these issues in later levels.

  • Right-Click to max upgrade

    • Prestige levels is part of the game and common in the genre, but clicking many times can feel tedious and agitate some player. NOT ANYMORE! Right-click any upgrade to maximize spending in the upgrade and instantly reach max level if you have the resources.

  • Steam Cloud Integration

    • Especially with the increased content of the game, players wanted the ability to use cloud saves to pick up where they left off. We're still verifying the functionality, but Steam cloud saves are now available and automatically sync when players exit the game.

  • More informative tooltips

    • With different upgrades having different maximum levels players wanted better context about where they were with regards to each one. The upgrade popup now includes that info.

  • Better readability of upgrade descriptions

    • Font sizes and readability have been improved on most descriptions so players on small screens and Steam Deck can have a more comfortable experience.

  • Several bug fixes

    • Supply crates drop earlier in rounds to make them more accessible

    • Auto-turret now prioritizes the supply crate to ensure its destruction

    • Various UI controls not quite functioning as intended

    • Achievement adjustments to make them more reasonable

    • MANY MORE!

A Heartfelt Thanks

Finally, thank you to everyone that has played the game, given feedback, left a review, or been involved in any way possible. This has been a great experience that we couldn't have done without the input of everyone and we're happy with what the game has become thanks to all of YOU.
