New Achievements!
While we work to wrap up the next build, we decided to release a large number of achievements. These ones are already working, and in many cases, they have already been counting up for a few patches. You might notice there are 25+ hidden achievements. The logic to trigger those i

Patch 0.8.5: You're not the (mini) boss of me!
We're getting closer to a complete game. We're focusing more and more on the longer game experience. As part of this, there are mini-bosses now, as well as intermissions for endless - a good chance to take breather, collect some loot, etc. As the notes mention, this does make end
We're getting closer to a complete game. We're focusing more and more on the longer game experience. As part of this, there are mini-bosses now, as well as intermissions for endless - a good chance to take breather, collect some loot, etc. As the notes mention, this does make endless a bit easier for now. We'll be rebalancing once we have a bit more data from the mini-bosses in regular maps, to bring endless back in line with where we think the challenge level should be.
Hop in, kill some mini-bosses, and check out the new changes.
Patch Notes
[New] Mini bosses have been added to many levels.
- They spawn smaller goos as they take damage.
- Levels have been rebalanced for this new challenge.
- A few levels weren't adjusted since they are being saved for full bosses. [New] Damage Numbers are displayed and colored by tower type!
- If you don't like it, you can turn it off in the options menu during battle. [New] Endless Wave Intermissions.
- Every 25 waves, the game will reward your progress and allow you to Save and Quit.
- This makes Endless easier, but we'll be adding mini bosses to fix that once they are tested in regular zones.
- If you Save and Quit, you can resume by selecting the endless map then selecting Continue.
- Once you Continue and earn prizes, that save will no longer be valid.
- This increases the crafting items earned to be closer to regular maps.
- It should also help with performance by cleaning up each Intermission.

If it's actually back to school for you.. well, sorry for the salt in the wound. But if you've been waiting to learn how to best send the goos back to the chaos from whence they crawled, this patch is for you! As we prepare for more of the RPG elements of the game, we've revamped our old tutorial, and now take you back to university to really learn the in's and outs of summoning Guardians.

[New] Added a Tutorial starting area. New games begin in the College for a short lesson on game mechanics.
[New] Added sounds and improved a few others. More to come!
[Fix] Focus crystals reward more focus in later waves.
[Fix] Many miscellaneous bug fixes.
[UI] The Fast Forward button can be used to start missions.
