V1.4.4 QOL UPDATE

Hi everyone,

Just a small patch tying up loose ends of v1.4.

v1.5 is in the works, thanks everyone for your patience!

• Anthony Hyperreal Games

VISUAL CHANGES:

• Changed the Icon of the game while its running (Farewell to the 2021 Logo!) - Changed the position of the Start Level button

GAMEPLAY CHANGES:

• Voidlords can now spawn in Endless Mode

In Endless Mode, reduced enemy scaling p/wave between Waves 50-75: - Enemy Health p/round decreased from 8% p/wave to 6% p/wave (Developer's notes: Now that the enemies in Endless Mode are stronger, we're going to slightly reduce the enemy stat scaling of earlier endless mode waves)

• Increased the speed limit cap for enemies in Endless Mode

BUGFIXES:

• The spell button should no longer be visible before starting a level - Hovering over the World Select Buttons should now properly cause them to glow - The world images in World Select should no longer clip through the border

BALANCE CHANGES:

TOWERS:

Cube Reactor -> Cost increased from $175/300/450/625 to $175/350/525/750 Damage p/attack adjusted from 7/12/18/23 to 6/14/21/27 (Developer's notes: The increased cost to the Cube Reactor should hopefully allow us to balance it easier)

Frostfire Laser -> DPS increased from 60/160/285/375 to 90/185/310/380 (Developer's notes: Giving some power back to the Frostfire Laser, an early game-skewed buff that should hopefully reduce its reliance on its slow)

DEFENDERS:

Empyrean -> Shield HP increased from 85 to 100 (Developer's notes: The Empyrean is still on the weakside and tends to get killed a bit too easily. We want to see the Empyrean taking on stronger enemies, and buffing its shield should allow for this more)

Wall -> Cooldown increased from 5.5 to 6 seconds Health increased from 105 to 113 (Developer's notes: It's a bit clear we've overnerfed the wall in previous updates, with it not really be able to find a place. These adjustments should hopefully provide more incentive for players to use it now there are more alternatives to it)

ENEMIES:

Voidlord -> Health decreased from 65000 to 63500 Speed decreased from 0.33 to 0.3 (Developer's notes: Giving the player more time to react to Voidlord spawns, especially if Void Obelisks are alive)

Mite -> Health reduced from 800 to 600 Speed increased from 1.8 to 2.1 (Developer's notes: Mites need to be more dangerous, especially being just HP tanks that aren't very threatening. Adjusting accordingly)

ORBITAL STRIKE -> Does not deal % health damage to bosses to avoid cheesing bossfights Damage to bosses reduced from 500-650 to 450-525
