changedLots of dev to go before release at the end of October, but we've tried to tap into the essence of this TD concept in preparation for this open beta.

Feature Highlight: Steam Cloud Save

Cloud save has been enabled even for this open beta, and it's linked to the main app so your progress will carry over. That means any highscores and salvaged doodads you earn now will stick with your account forever!

Feature Highlight: Normal/Nightmare Difficulty

Pick your poison. Nightmare gives you a harder start with less initial wires and towers to work with, and also causes enemies to scale grow stronger more quickly than in Normal Difficulty. In return, you can find Salvage Points there slightly faster.

The two difficulties have separate highscores.

Let Us Know How You Go!

Got an awesome combo going? Found the game too easy or hard? Any bugs, suggestions or otherwise? We'd love to hear it and would appreciate your help in making this game all that it can be!

Enough now, those imbeciles are coming to disturb my experiment! Game on.
