New update!!
This update introduces another new character, new towers, and lots of changes! The new character, Tana, offers a more relaxed gameplay experience, and with a strategic use of towers and cards, she might be the strongest character yet! The three new towers...were much more complex to make than the others, but I really like how they turned out. (especially the tank :P) Try them out and let me know what you think!
Also, thank you all for playing the Misty Graveyard! (I really didn't expect it to turn into an idle game...) I've got so much valuable feedback, and found lots of things that need to be adjusted for endless mode. I tried to make these changes with minimal impact on the normal mode, mainly to make the game more challenging without taking so much time. Give it another try if you're interested!
In the next update, I plan to revisit and rework some older features. Some current game mechanics were designed in early stages, but after several updates, they (looking at the altar and barracks) have become outdated and are much less impactful. So I plan to fix some of the issues before I start working on the fourth area. I'll keep updates posted on Discord!
