Well, it’s been a while, full of adventures, obstacles and puns by our Mother of Puns, but the next update and chapter of Seacurity Breach is here! The game has been improved in every way we could imagine. Starting with new levels, more story, enemies and ending with a completely reworked upgrade system, boss encounters and improved UI for Level Editor. Every level in games has been touched up and improved with new enemy wave setup, various quality of life improvements and bug fixes. Some of the highlights we haven't mentioned or showcased before.
Slow Aura, Fish Stall towers were added
As you can see, now players have more control of how to influence the enemy path. One of the things people were missing were tools whose primary function was to slow enemy progression and now you have two.
Ability to see all tower ranges was added and is accessible via holding ALT key
We heard it loud and clear, the game was hard, so besides tuning it down, we added new features for players to see how effective their defensive setup is (coverage wise).
All the buffs and debuffs are now displayed next to the enemy health bar Steam post image Here you can see most of the new icons. For example, a green blood drop means that the enemy is poisoned, a shield means that it has a strong armour etc.
Tower unlocking is redone, the player will now unlock new towers by completing specific levels instead of having to buy them.
Like we mentioned before, we completely redid how upgrade system work and with that some changes to how you unlock towers had to be made. Now when you complete a specific level a helpful pop-up will appear informing you that you have a new tool added to your arsenal.
But those aren't the only changes! The complete change list is as follows! Major updates:
Chapter 4 was added including 5 more maps with more story and a boss
