Developer Comments:
I'm getting ready to make the changes to the gamemodes. So in the meantime, I hope you enjoy more early game balance/polish. I like the water tower much more now, it felt a bit underwhelming, but now with the extra slow it feels so much better.
Changelog:
General Changes:
* if the list of custom enemies is blank, it will pick random enemies from the unlocked enemies
* added "random", "random plastic", and "random non-plastic" to the list of possible custom enemies
* the random enemies will only pick unlocked enemies
Tower/Skill Changes:
New Features:
* new water tower functionality: if the target has armor deals bonus damage that ignores armor completely
* changed the "hard water" skill to work with the new tower functionality
Polish:
* swapped the first skill unlocked for a different lightning skill
* changed many tower effects and skill tooltips to explain values in percentages instead of flat values
* reworded many tower effects and some skill tooltips
