Our first early access update! A small one but we're making progress. Here are the details of this patch:
- Adjusted all difficulty modifiers; these include gold, health and wave numbers for each difficulty.
- Added bonus gem calculation on map clear based on difficulty setting.
- End of map screen will now mention the current difficulty mode when describing bonus gems.
- Additional starting gold is now given based on difficulty setting.
- Increased the max upgrade level of towers to 9,999 in preparation of endless mode.
- Adjusted waves of Nightmare Realm
As mentioned, each map will now give additional bonuses depending on the difficulty setting. This includes additional gems, and extra starting gold in an effort to balance the difficulties a bit more.

While gems do not have a use at this time, they will be essential for the item and tower shops, as well as for endless mode, once they are complete.
Work is steadily progressing on World 8 - The Laboratory, which will be released sometime soon. Here's a sneak peak at the first work in progress map.

Stay tuned for more updates!
