changedIt's been a while since the last update. I disappeared without any notice, and I sincerely apologize for that. After the release, I had to temporarily pause development due to studies. But even then, I received feedback and thought about what could be improved.
addedNow that I have some free time, I'm returning to work with a new vision and a list of ideas. I plan a major update that will fix old bugs, add cool new features, and generally make the game more enjoyable.

Hi! 👻
It's been a while since the last update. I disappeared without any notice, and I sincerely apologize for that. After the release, I had to temporarily pause development due to studies. But even then, I received feedback and thought about what could be improved.
Now that I have some free time, I'm returning to work with a new vision and a list of ideas. I plan a major update that will fix old bugs, add cool new features, and generally make the game more enjoyable.
I can't provide exact timelines, but I'll now work consistently and openly share progress.
Here's what I plan to do:
Merge"The Icon Battles" (screensaver) and "The Icon Battles: Game" into a single application. This will simplify support, reduce confusion, and allow everyone to get the most out of both modes.
Make the game work with live wallpapers like Wallpaper Engine. There's already a working prototype that significantly changes the game's appearance, and it's much more interesting to look at than the static wallpapers!
Update the combat system and AI to make opponents more engaging. Also, I plan to add mages—a new type of Icon with long-range and powerful spells.

Join the Discord! I'll be sharing progress, listening to suggestions, and posting early tests of new mechanics 👀 discord.gg/mVuTaZrePC
