Crystal Tower Defense changes
This is our biggest update yet. Build your own maps, share them with the community, and put your defenses to the test in a fresh challenge every single day.
New Map Editor
Design your own tower defense maps from scratch.
Design the grid, place obstacles, gates, and shape the enemy path however you like
Complete stage editor with waves, formations, timing as well as per wave enemy sequences
Let them get auto generated or hand craft every spawn yourself
Difficulty tuning
per enemy type stat multipliers
spawn limits
enemy variants
per-stage scaling
Set starting money, lives, turret limits, upgrade costs, and pre-placed turrets
Steam Workshop Integration
Share your maps and play maps made by others. Compete in per map leaderboards
Publish your maps to the Workshop
Browse, subscribe and launch workshop maps directly in the game
Maps must be beaten by their creator before they can be published
Per map leaderboards
New Daily Challenges
A new challenge every day with global leaderboards.
30 unique challenge archetypes (Boss Rush, Swarm, Shield Breaker, Armor Piercer, and more)
Four difficulty tiers: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Hell
Every challenge has its own modifiers, per-stage scaling, available turrets and abilities
Compete on global leaderboards and climb the ranks
Earn loot boxes for completing runs
Only currency earned during the run can be spent and personal turret upgrades are not taken into account, so the leaderboard stays even for everyone
Leaderboards
Redesigned leaderboards/statistics screen
Added a leaderboard panel to the game end screen, to show your new rank and how much you climbed
Polish & Quality of Life
Smooth fade transitions between scenes to reduce freezing when loading
Faster statistics and leaderboard screens
Per-turret kill counter and live DPS readout in the side panel
Restart button added to the pause menu
Some UI readability and styling fixes
Please provide us with your feedback and share your map creations on our Discord.
We can't wait to see the maps you build!
