Tower Behavior Fix (Sniper / Shotgun / Smelter)

Previously, towers often rotated back and forth by 180° after each shot, wasting time instead of focusing on enemies.

Now, before firing, a tower checks where it last shot. If an enemy is still there, it will keep shooting in that direction, reducing unnecessary spinning.

Demo Fix

You can now load the old demo saves again.

Shop

The shop has been redesigned to make placing towers much faster and more seamless.

Unlock Animation

Many players didn’t understand that unlocking a tower doesn’t automatically give it. This animation now shows the lock breaking to clarify that the tower still needs to be purchased afterwards.

Quest System Update

Quests are now saved with their names as strings, making them easier to edit in future updates.

Bug Fix: Flying Text

Flying text no longer appears when buying a building.

Spawn Zone Progression

Instead of moving back every 5 levels, the spawn zone now shifts every level.

New Message

If the player tries to buy a building while a wave is running, a warning message will appear.

Demo Call to Action

At the end of the demo, and also in the main menu, players are now prompted to wishlist the full game so they won’t miss the release, and they can also join the official Discord server. Thanks for all the feedback! The next update is already in the works :)
