Hi everyone!
Apologies for the longer-than-usual break between updates. I'm proud to present the biggest update yet.
[h2]WHAT'S NEW?[/h2]
[h3][b]WEAPON EVOLUTIONS[/b][/h3] - Powerful new upgrades that 'evolve' a weapon or tower into a new form after it has reached max level. Evolutions change how weapons look and have powerful effects. There are 20 to discover already! The following weapons/towers can now evolve, and have 2 evolved forms each:
-Blasgun (Plasma Uzi, Rad Blaster)
-Autosword (Blink Sword, Blade Orbit)
-Briefcase (Briefcase Sentry, Portable Nuke)
-Grenade Pistol (Stun Grenades, Seeker Grenades)
-Cannon (Sniper Cannon, Punch Cannon)
-Minigun (Mini Railgun, Miniroller)
-Claymore beam (Scorching beam, Horizon beam)
-Rocket Launcher (Swarm Rockets, Guided Rocket)
-Nova Tower (Toxic Nova, Frost Nova)
-Flamethrower (Acid Sprayer, Napalmer)
[h3][b]MISSIONS 6 & 7 ADDED[/b][/h3]
Complete the Rookie campaign with missions 6 & 7 now added. New difficulty levels coming soon.
[h3][b]ELITES[/b][/h3]
Elites monster variants are here to ruin your plans. They are marked with a blue forcefield. They spawn on a randomly selected pattern as either a tank, ranged or rapid type, and they drop gold when killed.
[h3][b]NEW STATUS EFFECT: VULNERABLE[/b][/h3]
Enemies afflicted with vulnerable take additional damage. Currently applied via the Toxic Nova, Rad Blaster or the Acid Sprayer.
[h3][b]BRIEFCASE UPDATE [/b][/h3]Now drops briefcases onto the map so you don't need to rely on dying so much. Still drops one when you die.
[h3][b]PERFORMANCE[/b][/h3] - Improved overall performance with increased monster populations.
[h3][b]BALANCE + BUG FIXES[/b][/h3]
-Rebalanced fodder waves and enemy ratios
-Decreased enemy HP on later missions
-Small nerf to minigun range
-Enemy whale guns are slower
-Shield no longer recharges after reaching zero during a wave
-Shield won't throw enemies and kaiju around
After this update, my next priority is a meta progression system to go along with some new difficulty levels/challenges.
Thanks as always for playing! Let me know what you think about the new levels and features!
