Demo Update: Bug Fixes & Tower Targeting System

This Isn't Just Tower Defense · published 21 Aug 2025, 21:33 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam


Bug Fix – Nexus
Nexus can no longer be purchased twice.

New Sound
Added: Craft Black By Hand.

Unit Teleportation
Units no longer teleport backwards when stuck, but to the side.

Tower Targeting System
The old tower always targets the enemy that is closest to it.
The new tower, on the other hand, first focuses on the position of its last shot and looks for a new target there. However, if another unit comes too close to the tower, it immediately turns to it and attacks instead. This way, it doesn’t waste as much time rotating.

Game Start Changes
At the beginning of the game, you now only start with 2 blocks, and the first tower costs nothing.

Bug Fix – First Tower Quest
When starting the first wave, then finishing it and destroying a tower afterwards, you got stuck in the quest: "buy first tower".

Demo Feature
You can now delete or load your save file (but only one save file in total, demo only).

Localization Fix
ToString was localized so that numbers no longer display differently depending on system language.
For example, someone’s cooldown showed as 0.173194184 sec instead of 0.173, because their language settings caused the ToString function to format numbers differently.

Visual Update
- Energy bar redesigned.
- Stones redesigned.

Settings Note
In the settings it now says that you can press F11 to toggle fullscreen (though this was already possible before).

Security Update
Security for theft protection expanded.
