In addition to this huge update, we are putting the game on a [b]20% sale discount[/b] for [b]two weeks[/b]! So if you've had the game on your wishlist and been waiting for a sale, now's your chance.
Let's dig a bit deeper into what's new!
[h2]A New Theme Has Been Added Into The Mix[/h2]
[b]Gustwind Palace[/b] soars high atop the sky. Make use of it's beautiful [b]parallax sky backgrounds[/b] and [b]luscious greenery[/b] to decorate your dungeon.

[h2]Get Some Tailwind With Turbines[/h2]
Turbines [b]suck[/b] and [b]blow[/b] away objects! They come in four flavors:
[list]
[*] [b]Exhaust Turbine[/b]: blows away objects
[*] [b]Intake Turbine[/b]: sucks in objects
[*] [b]Red Turbine[/b]: controlled with Color Switch, exhaust by default
[*] [b]Blue Turbine[/b] controlled with Color Switch, intake by default
[/list]
Their strong winds penetrate certain objects like [b]fences[/b] too! Additionally, they affect [b]airborne[/b] objects too, in contrast to conveyor belts.

[h2]Get Blown Away By Gusts Of Wind[/h2]
The new [b]Gust Of Wind[/b] projectile entraps objects it touches and takes them with it until it hits a wall and vanishes!

[h2]Create Updrafts With Whirlwinds[/h2]
[b]Whirlwinds[/b] shoot objects up high into the sky. You can even reach the [b]higher elevation[/b] when the whirlwind is placed in lower elevation this way!

[h2]Blow Your Foes Away With The Tornado Rod[/h2]
The new [b]Tornado Rod[/b], a variant of the [b]Fire Rod[/b], creates a powerful [b]Tornado[/b] that works similar to the Whirlwind, only that it is temporary!
And yes, even [b]Shadows[/b] can use it...

[h2]Accelerate Using Hermes Boots[/h2]
The [b]Hermes Boots[/b] are the next exciting thing! They allow you to run at super-speed, becoming the fastest way to travel by foot now!
Of course, you can chain them together with [b]Whirlwinds[/b], [b]Tornados[/b] and other momentum based objects, like [b]Springs[/b]!

[h2]Slide[/h2]
You can also run up [b]Slides[/b] with the [b]Hermes Boots[/b]! Otherwise, you'll just slide down, including any other objects, even [b]pushable[/b] ones and [b]minecarts[/b]!

[h2]Sift Through The Mud[/h2]
Only running with the [b]Hermes Boots[/b] allows you to cross the new [b]Mud[/b] tile! Anything else will [b]drown[/b] in it, similar to Water and Lava.

[h2]Up, Up And Away With The Balloon[/h2]
The [b]Balloon[/b] is a new modifier, just like Wings are! They make the object you attach it to fly, but if they are hit by an attack, the Balloon [b]pops[/b] and makes the object [b]fall[/b] towards the ground.

[h2]Climb Up With Ladders[/h2]
Many people have wished for stairwells that you can place on regular ground, so here we go!
These ladders integrate neatly in your dungeon and allow you to get to the floor [b]above[/b] or [b]below[/b] anywhere.

[h2]Decorate Your Dungeon With Windows[/h2]
The [b]Window[/b] is the first [b]decorational part[/b] we are adding to the game. Many [b]more[/b] to come!

[h2]Bushes And Skulls Are Brought To All Themes [/h2]
Many of you have requested being able to use both [b]skulls[/b] and [b]bushes[/b] in all [b]themes[/b], and we listened!
Note that they still behave the same mechanically, so there are no breaking changes, it's purely decorational.

[h2]Count On Number Signs[/h2]
The new [b]number signs[/b] from 1-8 hopefully will fit well into your sequence puzzles and other shenanigans! Another much requested feature.

[h2]What's Next?[/h2]
New [b]enemies[/b] and [b]bosses[/b] have come a bit short, so we are focusing on adding new exciting ones in the next weeks. So look forward to that! In the meantime, we hope you will experiment with adding the new modifications, like the balloon, onto existing enemies and bosses!
We hope you are excited about this update. We can't wait to see new dungeons made with these mechanics!
See you next Friday!
