addedSteam AchievementsWe have added 21 achievements to unlock, some of which include reaching a certain score in endless mode or completing a certain level.
addedPuzzle PlayA new game mode called Puzzle Play has been added. Puzzle Play features 30 puzzles that are arranged in 5 tiers based on what mechanics they test. Tier 1 tests basic matching skills, including morphing. Tier 2 focuses heavily on morphing. Tier 3 challenges the player to create multi-matches. Tier 4 tests the player’s ability to predict how Linking Turrets will reconnect when their connected turret is destroyed, and introduces bombs.
