Hey Keepers,
We’ve just rolled out a new patch addressing a critical Unity security vulnerability that affected multiple versions of the engine. You can read more about it here: 🔗 Unity Security Notice (Sept 2025-01)
We know many of you are eagerly waiting for the a new content update and we promise it will be coming. It will just take a bit more time. However fixing this security issue was our top priority.
In the meantime, if you’d like to support us, please consider wishlisting & following our upcoming game Islantiles: 👉 Islantiles on Steam
Hey Keepers 👋 We’re thrilled to finally share what we’ve been quietly building behind the scenes. 🚨 We're working on a brand new game: Islantiles! It’s live on Steam now for wishlisting: 👉 Wishlist & Follow Islantiles on Steam 🌿 What is Islantiles? If you’ve enjoyed the s
Hey Keepers 👋
We’re thrilled to finally share what we’ve been quietly building behind the scenes.
If you’ve enjoyed the strategic depth of Keep Keepers, you’ll feel right at home - but this time, we’re heading to the islands.
Islantiles is a cozy roguelite city puzzler with deckbuilding mechanics, built by the same two - person team behind Keep Keepers. You’ll place buildings from a custom deck to create beautiful, high-scoring island settlements. You’ll combine those buildings with up to 5 out of 150 technologies to create mind blowing synergies - then lose it all and start again with new tools, unlocked techs and better ideas.
There’s no combat, no timers and no micromanagement - just relaxing gameplay, layered strategy and endless possibilities.
🔑 Core Features
- 🃏 Deckbuilding Meets City Building - Build a custom deck of tiles to shape your islands - 🧠 150+ Unlockable Technologies - Discover game-changing upgrades through a branching tech web - 🏝️ 100 Hand-Crafted Islands - Each with its own unique layout and challenges - ♻️ Roguelite Progression - Lose your deck on failure, keep your techs and evolve every run - 🌊 Calming, Strategic Gameplay - No timers, no stress - just thoughtful placement and synergy - 🏆 Leaderboards & Highscores - Compete or play at your own pace
❌ What It’s Not
To be super clear:
Islantiles is not a 4X, there’s no combat, no citizen simulation and no time pressure. It’s pure, peaceful strategy - built to be as chill or challenging as you want it to be.
💬 Why We Made It
We wanted to explore a different kind of strategy game - something that’s just as deep, but more meditative. With Keep Keepers, we learned how much you all value smart mechanics and emergent gameplay. Islantiles takes that spirit and gives it a totally new form.
We’re incredibly proud of how it’s shaping up and would love your support as we continue development.
🏰 What about Keep Keepers
We feel that Keep Keepers is in a pretty good place right now, but we’re not done yet. In fact, we’re already planning another content update.
It’s not ready to be announced just yet—but stay tuned, we’ve got something in the pipeline 👀
We’ll continue supporting Keep Keepers while we work on Islantiles and we’re incredibly excited to be building both communities side-by-side.
Your wishlist genuinely helps a lot—it improves visibility and lets Steam know there’s interest. Thank you for your support as always ❤️
More updates soon! Thanks for being part of this journey with us. We’ll be sharing more *Islantiles* content soon! Daniel & Daniel 🎮 Two devs, one hex at a time.

Hey Keepers,
We've been keeping a close eye on your feedback and continue eliminating remaining bugs to make your experience with the game even smoother. Here’s what we’ve fixed in version 1.1.5:
Fixes
Fixed war drums not appearing for sling weapons in hard mode
Moved the spawn point for “lost” items to a more visible location in Sandcastle
Fixed bug for clients when upgrading weapons on a portable weapon holder after loading a previous game
Fixed chain lightning effect not triggering when killing an enemy with its base damage
Fixed magma totem not applying the correct volcano damage buff
Fixed not being able to hide hints in certain cases
Zoomed out even further in Quad Garrison to fully see the two bottom lanes
Fixed defensive totem applying an incorrect amount of fortification HP when loading a game in some cases
Fixed pushing firebug pile getting stuck after multiple nights or in practice mode
Fixed some colliders in Twin Fortress to prevent players from moving to the enemy lanes after placing furniture

Hey Keepers!
We’ve been blown away by the incredible skill and perseverance of our community—many of you have surpassed the highest nights we ever expected in the game! However, this has revealed an unexpected issue: after Night 80, the spawn rate mechanics caused fewer enemies to appear, unintentionally decreasing the difficulty instead of increasing it.
We will roll out some significant changes to address this and ensure the game remains challenging and fun:
What’s Changed:
Minimum Spawn Period: Enemies will now spawn at highest every 0.5 seconds. Night 51+ Adjustments: Enemies won’t spawn faster after Night 51 but will increase in difficulty by scaling hp. HP Scaling: Starting from Night 51, enemy HP will increase by 5 each night. These changes ensure the game remains challenging after Night 51.
Highscore Updates:
We know how much your highscores mean to you and the community. Removing all highscores would be unfair to those who worked hard to achieve them, but leaving unreachable scores up could demoralize new challengers.
Here’s our solution:
Highscore Adjustment Offer: If you have a highscore above 55 nights and there’s no highscore above yours that’s under 55 nights, you can request us to delete your highscore. As a token of our gratitude, we’ll reward you with a unique Discord title for your contribution to keeping the leaderboards fair and competitive. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Your passion drives us to keep improving the game for everyone. We can’t wait to see the new records you’ll achieve!
Additional Patch Notes
Balance Changes
Lightning tower hitting players if no enemies present was meant as a fun gimmick. But it caused a lot of new players thinking they found a bug. So we decided to remove it.
Shop: Increased chances for lower tier items
Totems that grant secondary damage now stack
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug causing less enemies to be spawned after day 80
Fixed a bug causing totem shop not showing duplicates in some situations
Fixed a bug causing some waterbowl colliders to be lower than other items.
Winter weapons: Fixed t2 double cannons not hitting some enemies
Fixed a bug causing players to load the game for free rerolls with specific totem combinations
Fixed a bug causing players to be able to start practice mode while another player carried an item
Fixed a bug causing players to be able to start practice mode while a gift was shown in shop

Hey Keepers,

This update brings a bunch of exciting changes, including a brand-new weapon run, a unique skin for Next Fest winners, and a major overhaul to bomb mechanics with the introduction of War Drums.

Whether you’re diving into the new Winter Weapons run, enjoying brighter nights, or exploring the improved crafting systems, there’s something for everyone. As always, your feedback has been invaluable, so thanks a lot for your great feedback and support.
Patch Notes Overview

Using War Drums increases the gold gain modifier for the current night, scaling with the amount of time skipped.
Introduced the Drums Party Totem, which rewards gold whenever time is skipped.
Bomb Party Totem has been removed.
Projectile Weapons

Increased Fire DOT damage:
Tier 1: From 10 over 5 seconds → 20 over 5 seconds
Tier 2: From 20 over 10 seconds → 40 over 5 seconds
Air projectiles now always trigger shock directly instead of only after hitting a shocked enemy, resulting in a significant damage increase and making it easier to understand.
Myst & Magic
Each new tier now increases loads by 1.
Hammer:
Now hits enemies regardless of their position.
Damage adjusted to 20/30/45/60 (T0/T1/T2/T3).

Lightning Tower:
Damage adjusted to 20/30/45/60 (T0/T1/T2/T3).
Starts with 4 loads (previously 3).
3 & 4 Player Adjustments
Overhauled bomb mechanics improve gameplay balance for 3- and 4-player teams, resulting in greater gold gains for larger groups.
Time bonuses for 4-player teams increased by an additional 10%.
Quality of Life Improvements
Brightness: Increased night-time brightness for improved visibility. Let us know if it still feels too dark.
Day/Night Cycle Toggle: Players can disable the cycle, ideal for local co-op on large screens or for improved visibility at night.
Woodland Keep: Removed the door due to overwhelming feedback.
Controller Support: Added D-pad support for movement.
Confirmation Prompts: Added "Are you sure?" messages to Restart and Menu buttons.
Save Slots: Introduced multiple save slots for player convenience.
Crafting UI Enhancements:
Recipe steps are now color-coded for quicker recognition (e.g., smelting icons are now red).
Added a dynamic crafting recipe system for Sling Weapons: when picking up an item (e.g., an egg), players will see instructions for crafting it (e.g., placing it in a water bowl).
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where the Vault wouldn't load higher-tier diamonds in Practice Mode.
Fixed a bug caused by Pushing Firebugs interacting with Combustion Workbenches.
Resolved a bug where enemies gained max HP when hit by negative damage.
Addressed an issue where water projectiles could deal negative damage.
Fixed a rare error on the Quad Garrison map in Practice Mode that led to multiple issues.
Adjusted configurations to mitigate controller vibration issues:
Since these are difficult to reproduce, please report any remaining problems, including:
Controller type.
Action that triggered the vibration.
Whether playing in local multiplayer.
Whether you were the host or a client.
We appreciate your feedback and are dedicated to improving the game with every update. Keep the input coming!

NEW MAP
The secondary map, Twin Fortress, can now be unlocked by completing 10 days on Greenwood Keep on the Bam or Kaboom difficulty setting. This will also introduce a new leaderboard and a new mini event. See 🎟community-events for more details.
New Pause Menu Features
Three new features have been added to your Pause Menu!
• First, you will be able to start your practice mode as opposed to running back and forth to the dummy outside.
• Second, you will be able to check your score! Now you can track your progress while trying to push for those top leaderboard spots.
• Third, you will be able to check the recipes of items! This means no more having to run to a particular item to prompt a recipe! Simply go to the pause screen and look up what you want to make! This can be accomplished if you press (a) on controller or space / enter on keyboard when selecting a recipe. This will also prompt the recipe to be shown in on-screen info bar.
Cannons in the Store
There has been some rework to the store! You can now get regular and double cannons at higher tiers! Now you can upgrade all the store slots and still receive regular and double cannons on Tiers 4 and 5. Reminder: This demo still is capped at tier 4.
Seeded Stores and Totems
The store and totem selections will now be seeded. This will help maintain balance within your runs and keep "cheeses" such as reloading the game to get a more favorable set of options.
Totem Rebalancing
There has been a lot of new balancing and reworking of a lot of the totems! This will change a lot of how things happens on your runs and should unlock a larger array or options for you as the player. Choose different ones, mix and match, and see what you can acomplish!
Speedrunning Is Coming!
The livesplit feature has been added to the game! This will give all of you an official way to start speeding through the days to top the charts on speedrun.com! The category is still currently being setup and authenticated with the website. Initially this will be runs to day 20 on kaboom difficulty. However, there will be more details as the game gets verified and things get balanced.
Additional Fixes
• Bugs that have been found/reported have been fixed • Rewording to totems descriptions
That is all for now! We hope you have an amazing weekend enjoying all the new content and fixes that is in this patch! Please don't forget to report any additional bugs you find, share your gameplay feedback, and share all the fun ideas that you have!

Greeting Keepers,
We're excited to announce that Keep Keepers is now part of the Tiny Teams Festival! This has brought a wave of new streams, content videos, and, most importantly, a wealth of valuable feedback from our growing community. As always, your input is incredibly important to us, and we're committed to making Keep Keepers the best game it can be.

Thank you for your continued support, and we can't wait for you to experience these new changes in Keep Keepers!
Patch Notes:
Game Intro:
We've reworked the starter items to have a base efficiency of 1, with all subsequent items having higher efficiencies. This change makes it easier for new players to grasp the early progression in the shop without needing prior knowledge of the default efficiency of starter items. Additionally, we’ve adjusted all recipes to maintain approximately the same crafting time as before.
The starter smelter now has a capacity of 2 loads (down from 3), and the regular smelter now holds 3 loads (down from 4).
Bombs now trigger the next wave of enemies starting from the easy difficulty level and onward. This change is intended to make early rounds quicker and more engaging for experienced players while still giving newer players plenty of time to learn the game.
Hello Keepers, you haven't heard from us in a few weeks, there's a reason for that. We have been working very hard on a new demo upgrade. We have introduced new visuals, new content, a better introduction for new players and new challenges for experienced players. This is our big

Hey Keepers!
We’re excited to announce that our game just got a fresh new look! As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance your gaming experience, we’ve rolled out a stunning new banner and upgraded visuals across the board. Here’s what you can expect from this exciting update:
New Banner:
Get ready to be greeted by a brand-new banner that showcases the essence of our game like never before. This new banner sets the stage for the adventures and challenges that await you. We believe it captures the spirit of our game and will draw a lot more keepers in to experience our game together.
Upgraded Visuals:
Enhanced Graphics: We’ve overhauled the graphics to make every detail pop. From character designs to environmental textures, you’ll notice richer colors, sharper details, and an overall more immersive visual experience. Optimized Performance: With these visual upgrades, we’ve also optimized the game’s performance to ensure smooth and seamless gameplay. Enjoy the stunning visuals without compromising on performance.
We can’t wait for you to dive in and see these improvements for yourself. The corresponding update for the demo will come next week. As always, we value your feedback, so don’t hesitate to let us know what you think of the new visuals and banner.
