🚀 Tower Cards Update is here!
A new Astro Company update is now live! This update expands the roguelike side of the game with 22 new Tower Cards, while also introducing a tutorial, new upgrades, improved controls and another round of gameplay fixes and polishing.
🃏 22 New Tower Cards
22 new cards have been added for your towers! The new cards give you more ways to improve and specialize your defenses during a run, opening up more combinations and builds as you progress through the waves. Experiment with different upgrades and find the combinations that work best for your defense.
