Releasing to Early Access!

Alright,

After a lot of pushing, pulling, and overall life struggles, the time has finally come. We are going to pull the trigger and release Card TD in its current state. The official release date is set in stone for March 1st, 2026. It will be coming to early access, so just take that into note when you decide to purchase. The Demo will remain as a fully playable game, but we do not currently plan on updating it to fit with the state of the released game. That may change in the near future.

We have put a lot of thought and hope into the future of this game, but we have finally reached the point where, without the feedback from the community, we cannot hope to make the best experience for the kind of game that we have envisioned.

In the release, you will find 6 new maps across 2 worlds to challenge your deckbuilding and tower defense skills. Alongside the new levels and worlds is a completely revamped level selection and staging area before entering various levels. We also have a star and high score system in place, but have not quite finished implementing it. That will likely be the first update that you see in the coming weeks!

We are also putting the finishing touches on over 30 new cards! 28 of them are fully functional, but waiting on art and other components before they can be released into the in-game card deck. You may see them in the card catalogue.

Finally, we have characters planned, but not completely implemented yet, as a new feature for the game! They will provide special buffs, playing cards to your store collection, and more! Keep a lookout for them in future updates.

The game does seem to have a steep learning curve, and we are looking into ways to help minimize the difficulty scaling, but that requires many play testers to give their feedback. That's you! We hope you see the potential for this game's success as we do.

Please try out the game, give us your honest feedback, and then give us a chance to make changes and help improve the game into something that you'll love as much as we do!
